World Ag Expo® is the largest annual outdoor agricultural exposition, with over 1,200 exhibitors and an attendance of more than 100,000 each year. It is held at the International Agri-Center® in Tulare, California, in the United States, starting on the second Tuesday of February. The U.S. Department of Commerce has officially designated it as an affiliate of the Foreign Buyer Program, which encourages exporting American-made goods. Before its 2001 rename, the event was called the California Farm Equipment Show and International Exposition.
This year it starts on February 14 and finishes on the 16th. This year’s event includes – educational seminars, a new product contest, demonstrations, ag tours, and hundreds of exhibitors of the latest and greatest products for agriculture. There is so much to see. However, it would help if you had a solid strategy before attending to maximize the benefits of the Expo.
