When Agritechnica 2025 opens its doors from November 9–15, one group of visitors will once again be front and centre: Irish farmers.

Known for their openness to innovation, strong opinions, and love of travel, Irish farmers consistently rank among the top 20 international visitor groups at the world’s leading trade fair for agricultural machinery.

This year’s event, held under the guiding theme ‘Touch Smart Efficiency’, is already fully booked, with 23 halls occupied and 2,700 exhibitors from more than 50 countries expected to showcase their latest technologies.

Among them will be a number of Irish exhibitors, bringing their expertise and products to a global audience.

Angelina Laas, area manager for Ireland and the UK, Agritechnica, said: “Irish farmers are not just frequent visitors, they’re highly valued by exhibitors.

“It’s always a pleasure to welcome farmers from Ireland. They’re friendly, honest, respectful, known for their open-minded demeanour toward innovations and not afraid to share their opinions.

“This makes their feedback incredibly valuable to our exhibitors. Irish agri-professionals are communicative and well-integrated, so they often attend our show as part of organised group or delegation,” Laas added.

Agritechnica expects 430,000 visitors, a large part of which will be from Ireland.

“Last time we had over 3,200 visitors from Ireland, “ says Laas.

And the number of Irish visitors have been growing steadily over the past editions.

This reputation for straightforwardness and curiosity makes Irish farmers ideal participants in a trade fair that thrives on dialogue, innovation, and exchange.

Whether it is discussing the latest in automation, exploring smart farming systems, or evaluating new machinery, Irish visitors bring a unique energy to the Agritechnica event.
