Event overview
The Agricultural Chemicals and Fertilizer Fair Antalya (CFEX 2027) runs 14–15 April 2027 at the Konyaaltı Nazım Hikmet Congress and Exhibition Center in Antalya, Turkey.
This first edition connects fertilizer, agrochemical, biostimulant and soil-conditioner suppliers with distributors, farmers and agronomists from Turkey and more than 50 countries.
Visitor entry is through online registration, and organisers B2B Fairs and DLG Markets Turkey plan a focused two-day B2B programme.
TL;DR
Visitors can compare fertilizer, crop-protection and biostimulant suppliers in one hall, test formulations against local crop needs and meet distributors who already serve Antalya's greenhouse sector. The two-day format keeps the visit efficient: a buyer can hold supplier meetings on day one and follow up with technical teams on day two without travelling between cities.
Turkey is a large fertilizer and agrochemical market, and Antalya concentrates growers, distributors and exporters within a short drive of the venue. Exhibiting at the first CFEX edition gives a supplier a focused B2B audience, direct feedback on formulations and a low-cost way to appoint regional distributors before the show becomes established.

Impact
CFEX arrives as a dedicated Antalya meeting point for fertilizer and crop-protection buyers, a segment usually served inside larger agriculture fairs. Its first edition is small by design, so the main impact is access: regional distributors and greenhouse growers can meet specialty-input suppliers without travelling to İzmir, Istanbul or Europe.
Audience quality
The stated audience is trade-focused: manufacturers, distributors, academics and industry professionals, with growers and farm managers also invited. The organiser targets decision-makers from more than 50 countries, but because this is a first edition there is no audited visitor profile, attendance history or verified buyer ratio to benchmark against.
Exhibitor outcomes
ROI at a launch show depends on pre-booked meetings more than footfall. Exhibitors should set a modest target, invite existing Turkish distributors and prospects, and treat the two days as a distributor-appointment and product-feedback exercise. No rebooking rate, satisfaction score or audited return figure is published, so any payback calculation is a planning estimate.
Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
Antalya is a hub for greenhouse horticulture and field crops, and Turkey is a major fertilizer importer and manufacturer. CFEX gives the sector a dedicated Antalya meeting point outside the broader agricultural-equipment calendar, with buyers drawn from the Mediterranean basin, Central Asia and the Middle East.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Specialty nutrition over bulk tonnage
Growers are shifting toward water-soluble, controlled-release and micronutrient blends that match fertigation and crop-specific programmes, rather than buying only commodity NPK.
What it changes: Suppliers that can document nutrient efficiency and crop response have an opening with Antalya's greenhouse growers.
Biologicals move into mainstream programmes
Biostimulants, microbial inoculants and soil conditioners are being combined with conventional fertilizer and protection programmes to improve root health and stress tolerance.
What it changes: The first CFEX edition explicitly includes biotechnology and soil-health exhibitors, giving buyers a place to compare biological claims and trial data.
Regulation and traceability tighten
Turkish and EU-facing buyers increasingly ask for registration documentation, residue information and a clear origin trail for agricultural inputs.
What it changes: Export-oriented Turkish manufacturers need compliance-ready suppliers, and exhibitors should bring product dossiers rather than brochures alone.
CFEX is a new, focused Antalya show. Buyers building a circuit can pair it with Turkey's large general agriculture fairs and with European specialty-input events.
Late 2026
Book Antalya hotels early because the show overlaps with the city's autumn events.
Early 2027
Choose one European trip and one Turkish trip to avoid duplicate travel.
Circuit rows are planning references; only CFEX dates and venue are confirmed for this listing.
