International Agriculture and Livestock Fair

The historic agricultural fair of the South

The International Agriculture and Livestock Fair is one of the longest-running and most representative events for the primary sector in Southern Italy. It takes place at the Foggia Exhibition Centre, located along the Corso del Mezzogiorno, the beating heart of the Ente Autonomo Fiere di Foggia, in the capital of the Capitanata and the Province of Foggia, Puglia. For generations, it has been the major gathering point where the agricultural world of the Tavoliere delle Puglie—the second-largest plain in Italy and the breadbasket of the South—meets technology, markets, and institutions.

A territory with an agricultural vocation

Foggia and its Tavoliere have always been synonymous with grain, vines, olives, and livestock. The Fair was born and has grown as a mirror of this identity: it is not merely a commercial exhibition, but an annual meeting point for farmers, breeders, mechanization companies, cooperatives, and protection consortia. For the public, it is an opportunity to discover Apulian food and wine excellence and the innovations currently transforming field work.

Specialized salons

The event is essentially a hub for several specialized exhibitions held simultaneously:

• Enolsud — the National Vine and Wine Salon, dedicated to the wine supply chain;
• PDO Olive Oil Salon — a showcase for extra virgin olive oils and protected designations of origin;
• SAI — the Water and Irrigation Salon, a crucial theme for agriculture in the Tavoliere;
• Cunavidud — dedicated to rabbit and poultry farming activities.

What to find at the fair

In the spacious pavilions and outdoor areas of the exhibition centre, visitors can admire the latest generation of agricultural machinery, tractors, equipment for horticulture and irrigation, greenhouses and nurseries, seeds and fertilizers, as well as products and services for livestock farming and exhibitions of farm animals. Significant space is reserved for typical local products, from wines to oils, cheeses to baked goods, in a celebration of the flavors of Puglia.

The 2026 edition

The 2026 edition, originally scheduled for May 1st to 3rd, has been postponed to September 2026 by the Fair Authority: exact dates have not yet been finalized. As per tradition, admission to the event is free, and it remains a key appointment for agriculture in Southern Italy.
