Dhaid Agriculture Exhibition 2026 Opens At Expo Al Dhaid With 40+ Leading Agriculture Firms

The third Al Dhaid Agriculture Exhibition 2026 opens at Expo Al Dhaid as a four-day event, running until 1st February. Organised by Expo Centre Sharjah with support from the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry, it focuses on modern agriculture, livestock development and long-term food security for Sharjah and the UAE.

The exhibition brings together more than 40 agriculture and livestock companies, in addition to farmers, productive families, investors and government bodies. The platform aims to connect value-chain partners, promote efficient resource use and support local producers, while encouraging investment in sustainable farming systems suitable for the region’s climate conditions.

Sheikh Majid Faisal Khalid Al Qasemi, First Vice Chairman of the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry, formally inaugurated the third edition. Al Qasemi explained that the chamber’s backing aligns with Sharjah’s plans to grow key economic sectors, strengthen food security, support a green economy and encourage responsible business practices across agriculture-related industries.

After the opening ceremony, Al Qasemi and guests toured pavilions displaying advanced agricultural machinery and technology. Exhibits include systems for wheat and grain cultivation, hydroponic and vertical farming, improved irrigation and horticulture methods, and new fertiliser products. Solutions for livestock production, heavy equipment, crop protection, storage and water treatment are also presented to visitors.

Exhibitors further highlight logistics services such as greenhouse construction, packaging lines, transportation tools and supply chain management. These offerings are designed to raise productivity and reduce waste across farms and agribusinesses. A strong focus on optimising water consumption runs through seed varieties, irrigation technologies and integrated farm management models demonstrated during the event.
