What happened at Growtech Antalya 2023
Informa Markets held the 22nd edition of Growtech Antalya from 22 to 25 November 2023 at ANFAŞ, the Antalya Expo Center. The four-day exhibition centres on horticulture, with protected cropping at its heart. It brings together the companies that build, equip and supply greenhouses with the growers who run them.
In 2023 the exhibition again worked as a place to see the separate parts of a greenhouse as one system. Climate control, irrigation, plant material and the organisation of work all affect each other. Water quality is a good example: a fertigation set-up designed for one source may behave differently on another farm. Claims about lower water or energy use carry weight only when the starting point and test conditions are known.
Those who grow under cover, the firms that install greenhouses and companies selling irrigation, seed and fertiliser formed the main audience. For a Polish business, the key question at each stand was who carries responsibility once the system is running. One firm may design the installation, another supply the controller and a third service it. What happens when a sensor fails or the connection drops showed how well those roles fit together.
Growtech Antalya invites comparison with GreenTech Amsterdam, and the better fit depends on the crop and the kind of cooperation sought. For growers, a realistic next step was a trial in a small section of an existing greenhouse, measured against current results over a set period. Suppliers could come away knowing which installers and dealers might carry their products.
