Yangling Agricultural Fairs End With 32.93 Billion Yuan in Signed Projects

What changed

The 33rd China Yangling Agricultural High-Tech Fair and the 2026 SCO Agricultural Expo closed on October 29 after drawing more than 2,200 agricultural research institutions and companies from over 50 countries and regions.

The fairs showcased 11,000 technologies and products across 140,000 square metres. Signed projects totaled 32.93 billion yuan in investment, while on-site transactions reached 295 million yuan.

Why it matters

Yangling’s event was both a technology showcase and a deal-making venue. More than 1.22 million visits were recorded in person, with another 1.934 million online visits. Field exhibitions added 260,000 visits, and more than 1,600 new agricultural innovations were released.

The numbers point to substantial commercial interest in areas including core seed technologies, water-saving agriculture, farm machinery and digital agriculture. But the 32.93 billion yuan figure represents signed projects, not yet confirmed completed investment. Their sectors, investors and implementation schedules were not specified, so the practical impact will depend on what moves from exhibition halls into farms, factories and research programmes.
