More than a thousand exhibitors, brands, associations, clubs, and organizations will present themselves on an area of over 80,000 square meters. Among other things, the latest agricultural and forestry technology will be exhibited, both inside and outside the exhibition halls.

With eight different specialist fields, Agra 2024 also includes an extensive Livestock and Animal Husbandry cluster offering an overview of the latest technical developments, scientific findings, and newest products.

The agriculture exhibition also showcases methods, techniques, and future trends of modern forestry. This year, the focus is on integrated and sustainable forest management.

With the agra Eco topic forum, the subject of ‘Sustainability’ receives its own interdisciplinary platform for the first time. The new cluster combines current developments, innovative exhibitors, and creative ideas related to sustainable agriculture. 

The traditional ‘farmers’ breakfast’ on German and European agricultural policy has also been a staple at this fair for years. Organized by the three Central German farmers' associations, the chairpersons and directors of all East German farmers' associations meet guests. This year, the focus is on how consumers currently think about the future of agriculture, its products, and modern nutrition.

A panel discussion featuring German dignitaries will be devoted to the topic “Who will pay for the future of agriculture?”
