The 15th Agroexpo International Agriculture and Livestock Fair, recognized as one of the four largest agricultural fairs in Europe, attracted 296,511 visitors in its first three days.
The fair, inaugurated on February 6 by the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, Bekir Pakdemirli, garnered significant attention from industry representatives and farmers from Turkey and around the world.
The roads leading to the event venue, Fuar İzmir, were heavily congested due to intense traffic, with many visitors unable to find parking spaces, forcing them to park their vehicles along the İzmir-Aydın Highway.
According to a statement from Orion Fair Organization, the fair saw 296,511 visitors in the first three days. It was also noted that $680 million worth of business was conducted during the event, with expectations that the total would exceed $700 million by the fair's final day.
Şaban Ölmes, a farmer from Tekirdağ who attended the Agroexpo International Agriculture and Livestock Fair in İzmir, told an AA reporter that he had heard about the size of the event from his friends and finally had the chance to see it for himself this year.
Expressing his amazement at the fair, Ölmes said, "This is the first time in my life that I've seen such a crowded exhibition. I wish I had the opportunity to explore it in more detail. I've been farming for 5 years, and I saw agricultural tools here that I've never seen before. Exhibitions like these are very important for farmers."
Gonai Korkmaz, who was present at the fair from the Tire region of İzmir, mentioned that he attends the agricultural fair every year and gets introduced to new agricultural technologies through this event.
The fair also featured entertaining activities, with "Football Tractors" drawing significant attention. Participants tried to score goals using a giant ball pushed by a tractor with a pallet mounted on the front. Tractor manufacturers' families came to the stands to cheer them on.
