AGRITECH 2024: LATEST INNOVATIONS IN AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY
1 February is also the first day of the fourth professional fair for agricultural and forestry technology and agricultural intermediate goods – AGRITECH 2024, which addresses all the contemporary needs of agriculturists and foresters. The fair will take place between 1 and 4 February 2024 at the Celje Showground.
EXHIBITORS WILL FILL SIX EXHIBITION HALLS
Agritech, which is dedicated to technologically advanced agricultural and forestry machinery, is distinguished by the fact that it is the only professional fair in this field in Slovenia that takes place in winter. The fair will occupy six large exhibition halls of the Celje Showground, and part of the fair will take place in the outdoor areas of the largest and most modern showground in Slovenia. The last fair, which took place in March 2022, had a record number of visitors in five amazing, action-packed days, and the exhibitors were happy to report that many successful deals were made. The fair attracted nearly 25,000 visitors, who were impressed by the diverse exhibition offer and the abundant side events programme.
ESSENTIAL AGRITECH STATISTICS:
The fair will host 105 direct exhibitors and 350 brands.
Exhibitors come from six countries: Slovenia, Croatia, Austria, Italy, United States of America, Germany.
The fair will feature Slovenian manufacturers of agricultural and forestry machinery.
Visitors will have the opportunity to see:
- agricultural machinery (tractors, ploughs, spreaders, sprayers, mowers, tedders…)
- forestry machinery (wood splitters, chainsaws, forestry winches, trailers, lifts, protective equipment…)
- additional offer for farmers, foresters, fruit growers and winegrowers (seeds, fertilizers, crop sprays, phytopharmaceuticals, feed and others).
AGRITECH’s offer will be complemented by content-filled events, machinery demonstrations and test drives. The Agritech 2024 professional fair is an excellent opportunity for putting contemporary and innovative concepts of soil cultivation and forest management into practice. In addition to the exhibitions, the fair offers a number of exciting activities, which include tractor test drives and live practical demonstrations of the operation of forestry machinery. The past Agritech fairs have undoubtedly proven that live presentations (including test drives and demonstrations) are the most popular among trade fair visitors. Fairs remain an invaluable opportunity, where visitors can see the diverse and abundant offer, test it and learn all about the latest innovations, all in one place.
TRACTOR TEST DRIVES
Throughout all days of the fair, visitors can take tractors by different manufacturers on test drives, which will take place in the outdoor areas of the showground. Visitors can apply for test drives directly at the exhibition space. You can drive the tractors yourself or experience them as a passenger, accompanied by a company representative. This way, potential buyers can test the tractors first-hand and see whether or not they are the right investment for their farm.
FORESTRY MACHINERY DEMONSTRATIONS
In addition to test drives, there will also be practical demonstrations of the operation of the finest forestry machines every day of the fair. Visitors will get the opportunity to see how these machines do a variety of jobs, including loading and sawing logs and much more, which will give you an insight into how these machines work and help you understand their efficiency.
NEW AT THE FAIR
This year’s novelty is the evaluation of machines and products by visitors – Best of Agritech 2024 in multiple categories. Since visitors are also the users of this machinery, they can give their opinion (vote) at the fair about which machines/products/services are the best in their category (CATEGORIES: Tractors and transport, Fertilisation, tillage, sowing, plant protection, irrigation, Harvesting and storage of fodder, Harvesting crops, Forestry, Animal husbandry, parts and intermediate goods).
