Growtech Middle East 2026 will take place from October 26 to 28, 2026, at Dubai World Trade Centre in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Formerly known as Agra Middle East, the long-running regional agriculture exhibition enters a new stage under the Growtech global brand while retaining its established focus on food production and agricultural technology across the GCC. The 2026 edition is expected to feature more than 150 exhibitors, over 9,000 attendees from 80+ countries and approximately 8,000 square metres of exhibition space. Its three core sectors cover agriculture, aquaculture, and livestock, poultry and animal health.
The exhibition spans crop farming and horticulture, greenhouse technologies, seeds and seedlings, crop protection, fertilizers, hydroponics, precision irrigation, water management and smart farming. Aquaculture suppliers present hatchery systems, feed technologies, water treatment, biosecurity and processing solutions, while the livestock segment covers farm equipment, animal nutrition, veterinary technologies, breeding and farm-management systems. Agri-tech is integrated throughout the show through IoT, sensors, drones, artificial intelligence, robotics, automation and data-driven farming technologies.
The 2026 conference programme focuses strongly on food resilience in arid and climate-sensitive markets. Sessions address regional food security strategies, extreme-weather agriculture, AI-powered food systems, climate finance, resilient supply chains and the water-energy-food nexus. Practical workshops explore regenerative agriculture and smart water management, including precision irrigation, water recycling, sensors and digital monitoring. Growtech Middle East also provides structured one-to-one meetings between suppliers and decision-makers, connecting technology providers with commercial farms, government organisations, distributors and investors seeking solutions for more resilient food production across the Middle East.
