AgTech China Shanghai

AgTech China, officially known as the China International AgTech Exhibition, is the country’s leading trade fair for advanced agricultural technologies and ranks among the most innovative events of its kind worldwide. The exhibition places a strong focus on technological solutions that are set to define the future of farming. The term “AgTech,” short for Agricultural Technology, underscores the event’s emphasis on digital, mechanical, and biotechnological innovations for the agricultural sector.

Held annually at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC) in Shanghai, AgTech China is organized by the CCPIT Sub-Council of Chemical Industry, a branch of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade. The exhibition aims to foster international exchange and drive technological progress in key industrial sectors. Located in the heart of Shanghai—a global innovation hub—the fair offers an ideal platform to explore the latest in agricultural technology and build new business connections.

AgTech China stands out for its remarkable thematic breadth and technological depth. Central topics include intelligent irrigation and greenhouse systems, advanced agricultural drones for precision farming, novel seed and breeding technologies, and cutting-edge applications of artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), and big data for optimizing agricultural processes. Modern farm machinery and automated field systems also feature prominently. This wide-ranging focus makes the exhibition a vital meeting point for hands-on, market-driven, and scientifically grounded innovation.

A key highlight of the event is its expert forums, where companies showcase their latest developments and engage with specialists from academia and industry.

Exhibitors primarily represent the fields of agricultural engineering, biotechnology, seed production, mechanical engineering, and digitalization. The international trade audience includes agricultural cooperatives, farming enterprises, importers, distributors, and representatives from public and private research institutions. AgTech China is specifically geared toward professional visitors and serves as a key interface between the demands of the Chinese market and global innovation potential.

The NECC in Shanghai is among the most advanced exhibition centers in Asia. Its impressive architecture is matched by excellent transport connectivity. With easy access via Hongqiao International Airport, multiple metro lines, and expressways, the venue is highly accessible—one more reason why AgTech China is firmly established as a must-attend event on the global agricultural calendar.

The AgTech China will take place on 3 days from Tuesday, 17. March to Thursday, 19. March 2026 in Shanghai.
