Riyadh is set to host the 43rd edition of Saudi Agriculture 2026 from 19 to 22 October at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center, with more than 330 exhibitors representing over 28 countries taking part, according to the event's organiser. The exhibition is held under the patronage of the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture and is organised by Riyadh Exhibitions Company Limited.
Fourteen international pavilions will be on the show floor, which spans more than 19,000 square metres, alongside a set of specialised exhibitions running in parallel. These include the 43rd edition covering poultry, livestock, milling, feed and animal health, the 31st edition of the agricultural food exhibition, the 14th edition for food manufacturing and packaging, and the 8th edition dedicated to aquaculture.
Running alongside the exhibition is the Saudi International Conference on the Future of Agriculture, which examines the Kingdom's agricultural outlook and the opportunities it offers, along with agricultural initiatives and the role of advanced technologies in food security. Conference sessions also address agriculture and climate, project financing, biotechnology, soil science and water management, while covering robotics, drones, artificial intelligence and data applications in farming, precision agriculture, hydroponics and vertical farming, controlled-environment production, water-use efficiency and smart irrigation, and ways to develop output in the poultry and livestock sectors.
The event brings together farm owners, local and international business figures, professionals and decision-makers, giving participants a platform to showcase agricultural technologies and solutions, exchange expertise and explore avenues for business development in the sector. Organisers say the current edition aims to support innovation and cooperation in agriculture and to highlight solutions that advance the sector and strengthen food security, in line with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.
