Agricon HortiConnect 2026 opens at BIEC Bengaluru on 1–2–3 October 2026. It is the same HortiConnect community you already know — organised by the same team, in the same venue — now paired with a broader agriculture mandate and a larger operating footprint. Here is what changes for the October edition.
Three halls, one buying week
The floorplate expands to three halls at BIEC, more than 30,000 sq.m of exhibition space, sequenced so buyers can walk the entire value chain end-to-end in a morning. Hall 1 anchors seeds, inputs and crop nutrition; Hall 2 hosts protected cultivation, greenhouse tech and farm mechanisation; Hall 3 covers irrigation, post-harvest and cold-chain.
A conference programme with four tracks
Parallel to the exhibition, the Agricon HortiConnect Conference runs four curated tracks across the three days: (1) climate-resilient cultivation, (2) mechanisation for small & medium holdings, (3) post-harvest and cold-chain economics, and (4) export-grade horticulture — compliance, pack-house standards and buyer expectations.
A sharper buyer programme
The Hosted Buyer Programme returns, bigger and with better match-making. Pre-qualified buyers from domestic FPOs, exporters, institutional procurement teams and international trade delegations get a curated three-day schedule: pre-booked exhibitor meetings, conference passes and accommodation support. Exhibitors see the target buyer list weeks before the show.
Organised by Messe Muenchen India + HortiConnect Global
The HortiConnect community is now paired with Messe Muenchen India’s global trade-fair operating playbook. What that means in practice: tighter logistics, better visitor flow on floor, and the kind of international exhibitor onboarding standards you expect at a world-class fair.
