Growtech Antalya ran on 23–26 November 2022 at ANFAŞ in Antalya, with greenhouses and intensive horticulture as its focus.
What happened at Growtech Antalya 2022
Growtech Antalya 2022 ran for four days, 23–26 November, under the Informa Markets banner. The venue was Antalya Expo Center ANFAŞ, and the show held on to its November date in Türkiye. Greenhouse technology, production inputs and intensive horticulture defined its scope. Growers came looking for installations, while suppliers came to find partners in the region.
Protected cropping only works when its parts work together. Frames and covers, water delivery, fertigation, seeds and seedlings, and control automation all affect one another. A setup that performs in one climate is not ready-made for a different site. Visitors did best by starting from their own situation. That meant the crop and its cycle, where water comes from and how clean it is, available energy and staffing. Claims of saving water or energy needed a baseline and clear limits to mean anything.
Most visitors grew under glass or plastic, built greenhouses, or sold irrigation equipment, seed and nutrition products. For Polish firms the key issue was the split of responsibility. Designing the installation, delivering the control unit and servicing it after start-up can sit with three different companies. A single part and a complete turnkey system are different purchases. Asking for a system diagram and a list of required measurements helped turn sales talk into a test plan.
Antalya can usefully be compared with GreenTech Amsterdam, as long as both are judged for a specific crop and type of cooperation. A supplier might leave with names of integrators and distributors to contact. A grower might test the idea in one section of a greenhouse already in use. That test would be measured against baseline data over a set period, with one person owning the results.
