Exhibition «Growtech Vietnam 2026»

   Tillers, drip irrigation, spraying drones and post-harvest cold rooms are hard to judge from a spec sheet. In Ho Chi Minh City around 300 Vietnamese and international companies from more than 15 countries put them on the floor across over 10,000 sqm, so one walk covers the chain from seed to refrigerated container.

   Vietnam Growtech Expo is the country's dedicated show for agricultural technology, equipment and machinery. It is run by Global Exhibition and Conference JSC (GLOEX) together with Informa Markets, under the Ministry of Science and Technology. The exhibitor countries stretch from Germany, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Turkey, Israel, Canada and the United States to South Korea, Japan, China, India, Taiwan, Thailand and Malaysia.

   The main product groups:

• — field machinery — tillers, seed drills, tractors, soil preparation and harvesting equipment;
• — irrigation systems: overhead and drip lines, pumps, pipes and valves;
• — seeds, fertilisers, plant protection products and nutrient solutions;
• — livestock and aquaculture equipment — automatic feeding, barn monitoring, sea cages, aeration;
• — post-harvest technology: cold stores, refrigerated transport, dryers, packing lines;
• — digital agriculture — IoT sensors, sorting and packing robots, drones for spraying and crop monitoring;
• — the Floraplant Expo section for cut flowers, ornamental plants and bonsai.

   The show is aimed at farm owners and cooperatives, agronomists, food processors, importers and equipment dealers. If you are weighing up mechanising one step of your operation, this is where you get a real quote, a real lead time and a service point closer to your own fields.

   Why global equipment makers keep targeting Vietnam is visible in the numbers. The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment put 2025 agriculture, forestry and fishery exports at about US$70.09 billion, up 12% year on year and the highest on record, with a trade surplus above US$20 billion. On the import side, Customs Department data show machinery, equipment and tools brought in from China alone reached US$38.5 billion in 2025, up 33.2% — mechanisation demand is climbing fast.

   A few rules worth knowing: this is a trade-only event, visitors under 16 are not admitted, and dress is expected to be neat — shorts and sleeveless tops will not get you through the door. Entry is free but registration should be completed before 20 October 2026; the system emails an entry link. One detail the schedule does not show: on the final day, 23 October, the halls close an hour early, at 16:00. The same hall on the same days also holds Vietnam Foodtech, the food processing technology show.

   The venue sits in the Phu My Hung area in the south of the city, about 25 minutes by taxi from District 1. Organiser contact: Ms Khanh Nguyen, Event Manager, mobile +84 908 963230.

   If you have been costing out a new irrigation line or a first drone all season, this is the week those numbers stop being theoretical.
