CropTec 2027, scheduled to take place on January 20–21, 2027, at the NEC (National Exhibition Centre), Birmingham, United Kingdom, is one of the most influential agricultural exhibitions dedicated to arable farming, crop production, and advanced agricultural technology. The event brings together progressive farmers, agronomists, agricultural researchers, and agribusiness companies to explore the latest innovations and scientific developments shaping the future of crop production.
The exhibition serves as a dynamic platform for knowledge exchange, technology discovery, and industry collaboration, offering visitors the opportunity to explore modern farming practices, sustainable crop management strategies, and cutting-edge solutions designed to improve productivity, profitability, and environmental sustainability within the arable farming sector.
A Premier Event for Arable Farming Innovation
CropTec has established itself as the UK’s premier technical event for arable agriculture, attracting forward-thinking professionals seeking practical solutions to the challenges of modern crop production. The event focuses on improving farm efficiency through innovations in agronomy, crop protection, soil health, and precision farming technologies.
By bringing together leading industry experts, technology providers, and farmers, CropTec provides a collaborative environment where participants can explore new ideas, evaluate emerging technologies, and gain insights into the future of agriculture.
Co-Location with LAMMA for an Expanded Agricultural Experience
For the 2027 edition, CropTec will be co-located with the LAMMA Show, one of the UK’s largest agricultural machinery and technology exhibitions. This strategic collaboration creates a comprehensive agricultural platform where visitors can access both crop technology innovations and large-scale machinery solutions within a single venue.
The combined events offer an unmatched experience for agricultural professionals, providing a one-stop destination to explore everything from crop science and agronomy to machinery, automation, and smart farming technologies.
