Iran agrofood 2024 a huge success!

The 31st edition of Iran agrofood closed its doors on a very high note. Exhibitors, institutional partners and organisers alike all agree: Iran agrofood 2024 was a complete success.

Being one of the three most important trade shows in Iran, Iran agrofood continues to be as lively and vital as ever. Over the four show days, the halls were literally stormed, full of exhibitors and trade visitors holding business talks.

The decades-long success story of Iran agrofood as the most important agrofood platform for Iran and its neighboring countries thus continued in 2024 and Iran is all set for continuous growth in its vibrant agrofood market towards 2025 and beyond.
