The 22nd Konya Agriculture Fair runs April 7–11, 2026 in Konya, Türkiye, bringing irrigation, mechanization, and smart farming solutions to MENA buyers.

KONYA, Türkiye — February 25, 2026.
As climate pressure intensifies across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), agriculture is no longer just a sector—it is a stability question. Water scarcity, rising input costs, and the urgency of food security are forcing governments and agribusiness leaders to rethink how the region produces, distributes, and sustains food systems.
Against this backdrop, the 22nd Konya Agriculture Fair, scheduled for April 7–11, 2026, is emerging as more than a trade exhibition. It is positioning itself as a strategic convergence point for technology, capital, and regional agricultural transformation.
Hosted at the Tüyap Konya International Fair Center, the event spans 96,000 square meters, bringing together manufacturers, distributors, policymakers, and buyers from across Türkiye, Africa, and the broader MENA region.
What distinguishes the Konya Agriculture Fair is not scale alone—it is intent.
The fair’s structure reflects a shift from passive showcasing to solution-driven engagement, where technologies are not displayed for visibility, but for deployment. Exhibitors will present a full spectrum of agricultural systems, including:
Advanced tractors and harvesting machinery
Precision agriculture and data-driven farming tools
Smart irrigation systems designed for water efficiency
Automation technologies for farm management and productivity
Each category directly addresses structural constraints faced across MENA—particularly in arid and semi-arid regions where efficiency is no longer optional.
This positions the fair as a working marketplace, where procurement decisions, distributorship agreements, and joint ventures are actively negotiated.
Türkiye’s role extends beyond hosting.
Geographically, it occupies a critical intersection—bridging Europe, Asia, and the Middle East—which translates into logistical efficiency and supply chain flexibility. For MENA markets, this means:
Shorter delivery timelines
Lower transportation costs
Access to adaptable manufacturing ecosystems
But the advantage is not purely geographic.
Türkiye has spent the past decade building industrial depth in agricultural machinery and equipment, enabling it to offer both scale and customization—an increasingly valuable combination for diverse regional needs.
Konya, in particular, anchors this identity. As Türkiye’s agricultural capital, it combines production capacity with a deeply embedded farming ecosystem, making it a credible hub for both innovation and application.
At its core, the Konya Agriculture Fair functions as a technology transfer corridor.
The emphasis is not simply on selling machinery, but on enabling system-level upgrades:
Reducing water consumption through precision irrigation
Improving fuel efficiency in mechanized farming
Enhancing yields via data-informed planting and harvesting
Integrating automation into traditionally manual processes
For MENA economies—many of which are actively pursuing agricultural modernization—these capabilities align directly with national priorities.
Countries facing water stress and import dependency are increasingly investing in localized production efficiency, and platforms like Konya provide the tools to accelerate that transition.
Beyond transactions, the fair is evolving into a policy and strategy interface.
As governments across MENA confront the realities of climate volatility and population growth, agriculture is becoming central to economic resilience. The Konya platform enables:
Cross-border dialogue on sustainable farming models
Collaboration between public institutions and private sector players
Exploration of long-term supply chain partnerships
In this context, the fair operates as both marketplace and meeting room—where the future of regional agriculture is not only discussed, but actively shaped.
The significance of the 22nd Konya Agriculture Fair lies in timing.
Global food systems are under strain. Supply chains are being reconfigured. Climate variables are redefining productivity thresholds.
In this environment, regions that can combine technology access, logistical efficiency, and collaborative frameworkswill define the next phase of agricultural competitiveness.
Türkiye is positioning itself at that intersection.
And for MENA—and increasingly for African markets seeking resilient agricultural pathways—the Konya Agriculture Fair represents not just an event, but a gateway to scalable, practical solutions.
Agriculture is entering a new era—one where productivity is engineered, not assumed.
Konya is where that transition is being operationalized.
