Agrishow 2026 registers R$ 11,4 billion in business intentions

Agrishow 2026 concluded with R$ 11,4 billion in intended business deals. The final figures were presented this Friday, May 1st. The result represents a 22% decrease compared to the previous year.

The figures cover the agricultural machinery, irrigation, and storage sectors. The fair received 197 visitors over five days. The attendance was at a similar level to the previous edition.

On the May 1st holiday, the last day of the event, the gates opened at 7:30 am. The organizers moved the opening time forward to meet the demand from the public.

According to the Brazilian Association of Machinery and Equipment Industries (Abimaq), the performance reflects the sector's overall trend. On Wednesday, April 29th, Pedro Estevão, president of the association's Chamber of Agricultural Machinery and Implements, reported a 19,9% drop in sales of agricultural machinery and equipment in the domestic market in the first quarter of 2026, compared to the same period in 2025.

Estevão attributed the situation to high interest rates, exchange rate fluctuations, and unfavorable commodity prices.

The president of Agrishow, João Marchesan, stated in a press release that farmers and manufacturers are maintaining investments in technology for tropical agriculture, despite three years of unfavorable market conditions. He also said he expects more favorable cycles for the sector in the coming years.
