Konya Agriculture Fair has started with the participation of many guests from both Turkey and abroad.
Konya Agriculture, Agricultural Mechanization, and Field Technologies Fair has opened its doors to visitors with a large turnout at the Konya Chamber of Commerce (KTO) TÜYAP Konya International Fair Center.
Konya Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Uğur İbrahim Altay, who attended the opening with the participation of Minister of Agriculture and Forestry İbrahim Yumaklı, stated that Konya is experiencing its busiest days. He also noted that Konya Agriculture Fairs have hosted hundreds of thousands of people to date.
Mayor Altay, emphasizing the high level of participation this year, stated, “We held our opening with the participation of our Minister of Agriculture and Forestry. Konya Agriculture Fair continues its mission of shaping the future of agriculture by hosting 436 companies and company representatives from 20 countries. The opening program was particularly intense, with ministers, deputy ministers, ambassadors from African countries, and representatives of international organizations attending. We are visiting the stands, and we see that Konya’s industrialists are doing significant work. I thank everyone who contributed. Konya is the capital of agriculture. This city, which has been producing since the time of Çatalhöyük, also marked the beginning of our industry with agricultural machinery. In fact, wherever there is abundance, there is agriculture. With the recent rains, I hope this year will be one of plenty for our farmers. Konya Agriculture Fair is waiting for its visitors with all its beauty. We invite all farmers from Konya and the surrounding region to visit the stands at the Konya Agriculture Fair.”
Minister of Agriculture and Forestry İbrahim Yumaklı stated that the Konya Agriculture Fair is an important asset for the country. Highlighting that Konya has become a significant hub not only for agriculture but also for agricultural technologies, Minister Yumaklı said, "This fair is an important platform that will allow all developments in the agricultural field, not only in our country but also worldwide, to be seen together."
