Agrotica, the interest of which is already high, will confirm in its 2020 operation, its role as one of Europe's five largest agricultural exhibitions. Indeed, the figures so far show that the batten is rising even higher, with the exhibition preparing to overtake its previous record.
Mr Vassilis Spyrou, Head of Organisation for Agrotica and Mrs Dimitra Emmanouilidou, President of EKAGEM, Mr Tasos Tzikas, President of TIF-HELEXPO, Mr Kyriakos Pozrikidis, CEO of TIF-HELEXPO, Mr Savvas Balouktsis, President of SEAM and Mr Alexis Tsaxirlis, Deputy General Director of TIF-HELEXPO
The 27th Agrotica boasts a 30% increase in exhibition participations, thousands of buyers from Greece, the Balkans and Europe, who will cross its “threshold”, and a rich programme of side events, congresses and colloquiums. It is being held from 1 to 4 February at the Thessaloniki International Exhibition Centre.
The 26th Agrotica welcomed over 120,000 visitors, marking this year's Fair as a true 'feast' of the agricultural world. Despite the farmers' demonstrations and the difficulties in accessing Thessaloniki International Exhibition Centre during the four days of the event (28-31 January), 123,723 visitors gave their vote of confidence to the largest agricultural event in South-East Europe.
The 26th Agrotica, open at Thessaloniki International Exhibition Centre from January 28 to 31 will be the best in the history of the institution. This year's event achieved a record number of participations, with over 1,500 exhibitors, as compared to 1,349 exhibitors at the 2014 Agrotica, and covers an exhibition area of 34,000 square metres, as compared to 30,929 square metres at the previous event.
