Who Should Attend
Growers & Agricultural Investors
Growers and agricultural investors should focus on controlled-environment systems, water management, crop inputs and project economics, especially where desalinated or recycled water and cooling materially affect operating cost.
Livestock, Poultry & Aquaculture Operators
Livestock, poultry and aquaculture operators should use the dedicated sectors for heat management, feeding, animal health, water treatment, biosecurity and processing technologies suited to regional production conditions.
AgTech and Controlled-Environment Teams
AgTech and controlled-environment teams should connect sensors, automation, climate control, hydroponics, irrigation and data systems into one production architecture rather than sourcing each layer independently.
Distributors, Government and Project Buyers
Distributors, government buyers and project developers should look for suppliers with Gulf installation experience, local technical support and documented performance under high heat, salinity or water constraints.
Top Reasons to Attend
1
Start With Water Management
For Gulf projects, irrigation, reuse, desalination, water-quality treatment and smart control often determine whether the rest of the production system is viable. Build the visit around water first.
2
Pair Greenhouses With Climate Control
Do not buy a greenhouse structure before comparing cooling, shading, humidity management, hydroponics, substrates and irrigation as one controlled-environment package.
3
Use the Buyer-Investment Data
The organiser reports a high share of decision-makers and significant planned agricultural investment among visitors. Suppliers should prepare project-scale proposals rather than only product brochures.
4
Separate Livestock and Aquaculture Routes
Both sectors are substantial at the show. Livestock buyers should focus on housing, feed, health and heat management; aquaculture buyers on water, hatchery, feed, biosecurity and processing.
5
Use the Conference for Regional Constraints
The 2026 content expands around food security, desert farming, aquaculture, animal health, robotics, controlled environments and water management. Use those sessions to test how technologies are being adapted to Middle East conditions.
What You'll See & Do
🤖
Smart Farming & AgTech
Smart farming covers IoT, AI, sensors, UAVs, drones, robotics, precision agriculture, inventory and farm-management systems. Buyers should tie each tool to a measurable regional problem such as irrigation control, labour, crop monitoring or greenhouse automation.
🌱
Greenhouse & Horticulture
Greenhouse and horticulture includes structures, hydroponics, aquaponics, aeroponics, grow lights, substrates and climate control. In Gulf conditions, cooling load, water quality and crop economics should drive supplier selection.
🌱
Irrigation & Water Management
Water management is a core sector with drip and micro-irrigation, recycling, reuse, desalination for agriculture, rainwater harvesting, smart water systems and quality treatment. This is one of the most strategically relevant parts of the show for the Middle East.
🐄
Livestock & Poultry
Livestock and poultry covers housing, feed, farm-management systems, veterinary equipment, vaccines, nutrition and processing. Operators should compare heat-management, biosecurity and feed-efficiency solutions under regional conditions.
🐟
Aquaculture
Aquaculture and fisheries includes hatchery equipment, feed, feeding systems, water analysis and treatment, biosecurity, pharmaceuticals, processing, storage and logistics—relevant to both land-based and marine production projects.
🐄
Animal Health & Veterinary
Sustainable and regenerative agriculture includes soil health, biofertilisers, biopesticides, carbon and soil restoration, renewable energy, waste management and climate-smart agriculture. Evaluate these against water, salinity, heat and commercial farm economics in the region.
