AGRITECHNICA ASIA,2018

The Second edition of AGRITECHNICA ASIA, the world’s largest trade fair for agricultural machinery and equipment, is once again ready to be the agricultural exhibition that covers all of Asia by focusing on Asia’s largest agricultural buyers from across the region.

AGRITECHNICA ASIA emphasize on agricultural engineering solutions that are both relevant and important to the development of agriculture in the Asian markets. Mechanization through modern machinery will increase significantly in the next decade mainly due to the growing labor shortages, more competition and therefore the requirement to reduce production costs.

Under the terms of the joint venture, the DLG – German Agricultural Society, organizer of AGRITECHNICA in Hanover, Germany, and Dutch-Thai exhibition organizer VNU Exhibitions Asia Pacific, organizer of VIV Asia and Horti Asia in Bangkok, will collaborate to establish one of the most powerful joint ventures in the agricultural exhibition industry.

The Second edition of AGRITECHNICA ASIA will be held from 22-24 August 2018 at BITEC, Bangkok, Thailand, in conjunction with Horti Asia, the region’s largest trade exhibition for Horticulture in Asia
