A total of 166 participating companies are presenting solutions for productivity and modern production in agriculture.

On the first day of the fair, the Sakarya Provincial Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry organized a “Young Farmer Knowledge Contest.”

In his opening speech, Sakarya Governor Rahmi Doğan emphasized the strategic importance of agriculture. He noted that while Sakarya has strong industrial and service sectors, agricultural production remains the foundation of the national economy. Governor Doğan stated that Sakarya has a high value-added production capacity — from hazelnuts to corn, and from fruit cultivation to quality agricultural products — and that this potential is becoming more visible through fairs like this one.

Hendek Mayor İrfan Püsküllü highlighted the shared effort that contributed to bringing the fair to the district.

Provincial Coordination Board of Chambers of Agriculture Chairman Ali Şener Bayraktar drew attention to climate-related losses in 2025, noting that frost, brown marmorated stink bugs, and drought caused significant damage in Sakarya, leading to an estimated agricultural output loss of around 18 billion TL.
