What happened at HortEx Vietnam 2025
HortEx Vietnam 2025 took place on 12–14 March at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City. It was the seventh edition, organised by Nova Exhibitions and VEAS, and it ran alongside AGRITECHNICA ASIA. According to the organiser, the combined event recorded 10,693 visitors and 303 exhibitors. Those totals cover both co-located shows together, not the horticulture side alone. The HortEx brand later appeared in connection with events in Thailand, but the 2025 edition was a Vietnamese show.
The 2025 show connected horticultural production with equipment, plant material and international business relationships. Greenhouse technology, irrigation and product preparation have to suit the crop and the local environment. Moving a solution unchanged from another climate is not enough. Practical points included maintenance capability, the availability of consumables and how users are trained. The exhibition mapped what is on offer in the region, while real testing still happens on individual growing businesses.
The main audiences were vegetable, fruit and ornamental producers, nurseries, equipment suppliers, distributors and companies building relationships in Southeast Asia. The co-location with a machinery exhibition widened the context towards mechanisation. Participants still had different profiles. Some worked in production, others in trading, installation or advisory services. Knowing which helped visitors judge whether a contact was relevant, rather than treating the whole exhibition as one uniform market.
HortEx Vietnam adds a regional Asian view of how horticultural technology is developing. The key conditions for adoption were climate, maintenance organisation, water quality and technical support. These shape what works for growers in the region far more than any brochure. For growers, suppliers and market researchers, the show offered a grounded picture of what specific user groups need. It is a useful entry point for companies looking at horticulture in Southeast Asia.
