According to information compiled by FEW.ae editor, AGRA Middle East (AgraME) 2025 is the region’s flagship agricultural exhibition scheduled for 6-7 October 2025. Hosted in Halls 3 & 4 of the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), this two-day trade show is expected to draw thousands of agribusiness professionals, innovators, and policymakers.
Venue, structure, and technical features
The Dubai World Trade Centre is one of the city’s prime convention hubs, located along Sheikh Zayed Road and strategically served by the World Trade Centre Metro station. It offers extensive parking (over 7,500 spaces across multiple car parks) and easy access via major road connections. For AgraME 2025, the show will span Halls 3 & 4 of DWTC, enabling spacious layouts for exhibition booths, tech demonstrations, and conference areas.
These halls are equipped with high ceilings, modular partitioning, power and data points, ambient LED lighting, large digital displays, climate control, and reliable back-of-house logistics access—features that support live demonstrations of agricultural equipment, vertical farming modules, and aquaculture systems. While DWTC does not publish a full technical spec sheet publicly for each hall, past usage of Halls 3 & 4 for large expos indicates capacity for heavy machinery deployment and wide visitor circulation.
Timing, schedule, and logistics
AgraME runs from 6 to 7 October 2025, typically from morning till late afternoon (for example, in previous editions, opening hours spanned 09:30 AM to 06:00 PM). The show is trade-only, i.e. meant for industry professionals, buyers, and exhibitors rather than general public.
Given Dubai’s infrastructure, attendees coming from within the UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi) can rely on networked roads or metro + short transit rides. International visitors likely fly into Dubai International Airport (DXB) or Al Maktoum (DWC) and take taxis or shuttle transfers to the venue. DWTC’s central location ensures ease of arrival.
As for climate, early October in Dubai can bring daytime highs in the low to mid 30s °C, with more comfortable evenings. Humidity may be moderate depending on weather patterns. For indoor exhibitions, air conditioning ensures visitors and exhibits are kept within optimal conditions.
Organizer and institutional backing
AgraME is organized by Informa Middle East, a branch of Informa Connect / Informa PLC, known for delivering large conferences, trade shows, and managed events in the region for over two decades. The event receives patronage from the UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE), reinforcing its alignment with national agricultural innovation and sustainability objectives.
AgraME’s sponsorship roster is extensive, including Reef Saudi (gold sponsor), Agro House Trading LLC, Elite Agro Holding LLC, Flora Engineering Services L.L.C., Foshan GrowSpec BioTech, Grabi Chemical SpA, and Qrill Company. It also counts PwC as a session sponsor for conference tracks. informaconnect.com The exhibitor list is international, covering companies in seed technology, fertilizers, greenhouse solutions, livestock, aquaculture, agri-tech, biofertilizers, crop protection, and more.
Themes, content, and participant engagement
AgraME 2025 is the 17th edition of the event and is billed as the most comprehensive agriculture trade show in the Middle East. It covers verticals such as crop & horticulture, livestock & aquaculture, agri-technology, smart & sustainable farming, and water management & irrigation. Over 150+ exhibitors and a projected 7,000+ decision-makers are expected to attend. mid-east.info
Three flagship conference tracks will run in parallel, free to attend: the Future Food Resilience Summit, the Middle East Aquaculture Forum, and the Middle East Livestock Forum. Topics on the agenda include precision agriculture powered by AI, climate-resilient farming systems, regenerative agriculture, sustainable aquaculture, and water-use efficiency.
Speakers will include regional and global thought leaders from agribusiness, government, research institutes, and tech innovators. One quoted voice is Ahmed Khalil, Portfolio Director of AgraME, who notes that this year’s edition “comes at a time as the UAE intensifies efforts to advance the Food Security Strategy 2051.”
Relevance, impact, and outlook
AgraME holds particular strategic importance amid escalating global challenges: climate change, resource scarcity, food security, and rising demand for sustainable agriculture. The UAE has prioritized food security and agricultural innovation in its national agendas, and hosting a high-profile trade show like AgraME enables technology transfer, knowledge sharing, investments, and public-private partnerships.
Co-located with AgroFarm Middle East, which focuses on livestock & animal farming, the event amplifies opportunities for integrated solutions across crop and livestock domains. For exhibitors and visitors alike, AgraME 2025 represents a prime chance to scout markets, forge alliances, and showcase innovations tailored to arid and semi-arid environments.
