Relevance depends on your role within the agricultural machinery value chain and whether your objectives involve sourcing equipment, identifying technology partners, evaluating machinery capabilities, or understanding market trends in the agricultural technology industry.

Ideal For

• Farmers and farm managers
• Agricultural contractors and service providers
• Machinery dealers, distributors, and importers
• Production managers and fleet managers
• Procurement professionals and technical buyers
• Agronomists and crop consultants
• Agricultural engineers and machinery specialists
• Precision farming and technology specialists

May Be Less Relevant For

AGRITECHNICA may be less relevant for consumers seeking small-scale gardening equipment or retail agricultural products. It is primarily a professional trade event for the agricultural machinery industry, focused on B2B relationships between manufacturers, suppliers, farmers, and commercial buyers. Companies focused solely on livestock equipment or dairy technology without application in crop production or agricultural machinery should refer to EuroTier, the DLG’s specialised event for animal husbandry.

How to Prepare for a Productive Visit

Before attending AGRITECHNICA Hanover, careful planning can significantly improve the value of your visit:

• Define your strategic priorities: Identify whether your focus is on tractors and transport, soil cultivation and seeding, harvesting machinery, crop protection and fertilisation, precision farming and digitalisation, autonomous systems, alternative drives, or components and off-highway systems
• Prepare questions about machinery capability, efficiency, and precision: For agricultural machinery, ask about productivity, working width, capacity, fuel and energy consumption, precision and accuracy, automation interfaces, ISOBUS compatibility, maintenance requirements, serviceability, spare-parts availability, and total cost of ownership. For precision farming solutions, consider compatibility with existing equipment, data management, accuracy, and integration with farm management software. For autonomous systems, examine reliability, safety features, remote monitoring, and operational support. For components and off-highway systems, evaluate durability, compatibility, and engineering support
• Review the supporting programme: The detailed 2027 programme has not yet been fully published. Visitors should consult the official website for confirmed theme days, forums, awards, demonstrations and expert sessions
• Divide the exhibitor landscape by key areas: Before the event, group exhibitors by key areas — tractors, soil cultivation, harvesting, crop protection, precision farming, autonomous systems, components — to structure your visit efficiently. The fair takes place from 14 to 20 November 2027 at the Hanover Exhibition Centre
• Plan meetings with potential partners: The event provides an opportunity to coordinate with manufacturers, suppliers, and industry professionals in one location
