Debrecen is once again at the center of Hungarian agriculture

Decades of tradition, up-to-date knowledge, and personal networking characterize the 34th Farmer Expo International Agricultural and Food Industry Exhibition, which will take place between 28 and 30 August.

The event, which has a history of more than three decades, is now not just a trade fair and exhibition but one of the centers of domestic agricultural life. This year, about 200 exhibitors will be presenting themselves, representing almost all sectors of agriculture.

Agricultural machinery distributors, food industry companies, and animal health and feed companies, as well as service providers operating in the fields of soil energy management, irrigation, precision farming, agricultural architecture, and alternative energy sources, will be present. Farmer Expo thus creates a real platform for dialogue and cooperation between producers, distributors, researchers, and decision-makers.

This year’s special feature is that breeding animal exhibitions will take place exclusively at Farmer Expo in Hungary. The program is not only spectacular but also of serious professional significance: it presents the genetic progress of domestic animal husbandry, the most modern husbandry technologies, and breeding trends. 

During the three days of the exhibition, various breed presentations, show judging, and professional lectures will also enrich the program.

The highlight of the three-day event is the Debrecen City Grand Prix Equestrian Cup, which will be held on August 30.

A full-day, national show jumping competition that gives riders the opportunity to show their technical knowledge, their harmony with the horse, and the perfect balance of style, skill, and courage. Completing the courses is not only a physical challenge but also requires serious concentration and elegance, making the competition a true celebration of equestrian sport.
