58th AGRO - INTERNATIONAL TRADE FAIR OF AGRICULTURE, CATTLE BREEDING & FOOD
The 2026 edition of AGRO – the International Fair of Agriculture, Livestock, and Food – will take place from March 26 to 29, 2026, at Forum Braga.
This edition will feature more than 25,000 m² of exhibition space, with 15,000 m² dedicated to exhibitors. Taking advantage of Forum Braga’s facilities, AGRO will once again present a wide and diverse program of conferences and seminars, as well as an area dedicated to demonstrations, presentations, and tastings.
The various parallel activities will be promoted by the event’s partners and are certain to be one of the highlights of the Fair. The event will also include the traditional livestock competitions, which will be held indoors in a 300 m² arena.
AGRO brings together key players in the sector: farmers, livestock breeders (of native breeds and others from the agri-livestock sector), producers, importers, wholesalers, and resellers from the agri-food and livestock industries, as well as national and international experts from various sectors and the general public.
This is one of the most important agricultural fairs in the Northwestern Iberian Peninsula, and the most prominent agriculture, livestock, and food fair in Northern Portugal. It is also the only Portuguese fair that is a member of EURASCO – the European Federation of Agricultural Exhibitions and Show Organizers.
AGRO is also among the fairs accredited by UFI – The Global Association of the Exhibition Industry, with all its statistical data (attendance, rented square meters, number of exhibitors) properly certified.
The most important Fair of Agriculture, Cattle Breeding and Food for the North of Portugal!
