Overview

Where India's horticulture and agritech industry closes business.

Agricon HortiConnect 2026 is a three-day B2B trade expo built around a single objective — to put decision-grade suppliers, growers, and buyers in the same room. Whether you're sourcing a ₹50 lakh polyhouse project, evaluating drip-line vendors, or scouting automation partners for a 100-acre expansion, the floor is designed so the right conversation happens in minutes, not months.

300+

Exhibiting brands across 8 product zones

25,000+

Trade buyers, growers & decision makers

15+

Country delegations & international pavilions

500+

Hosted buyers flown in with scheduled meetings


Why the floor matters

Five reasons Agricon HortiConnect is where the industry shows up.

 

Buyer-dense, not footfall-dense

Every visitor is screened. Registration requires a verified business profile, so exhibitors talk to buyers, not browsers.

 

Zoned for clarity

Eight dedicated halls map to how sourcing decisions are actually made — visitors find what they came for in minutes.

 

Hosted buyer programme

500+ pre-qualified growers and procurement heads flown in with scheduled 1:1 meetings — your booth isn't a lottery.

 

Conference that signals

A curated two-track agenda with government, research and industry — policy signals and crop economics, not sales pitches.

 

Live demos, not brochures

Full-scale polyhouses, hydroponic walls, drone spraying, and fertigation rigs running on the floor — evaluate in action.

 

Dealer & channel meets

Dedicated sessions for OEMs and distributors to appoint territory partners and accelerate channel expansion.
