The Complete Seed to Food Show for MEA

Horti Agri Next is the Middle East and Africa’s new premier trade show showcasing the latest products, innovations, and advancements in horticultural food production, landscaping, controlled environment practices, environmental conservation, arable land planting and agriculture.

The show’s first edition, taking place in Abu Dhabi, UAE, is a strategic decision due to the region’s strong drive to create arable land and develop new practices and technologies in horticulture and urban farming. Acting as a national leader in terms of economics, geography and horticulture, the U.A.E. possesses a record of producing agricultural land and innovating technologies geared towards urban farming and is thus the perfect platform for Middle Eastern and African buyers to meet international suppliers.

Co-located with VIV MEA, the region’s leading international tradeshow for livestock production, expect a comprehensive platform for the region’s agriculture and livestock production chain. This integration provides a one-stop-shop for industry professionals, suppliers, and buyers, with unparalleled opportunities for networking, knowledge sharing, and collaboration.
