The exhibition serves as a platform to showcase the latest products and innovative concepts in agriculture, drawing attention to solutions tailored to Indian agro-climatic conditions.
The 33rd edition of India’s largest agricultural exhibition, KISAN, was inaugurated with the arrival of the first group of farmers. The event, hosted at the Pune International Exhibition and Convention Centre in Moshi, near Bhosari, will run from December 11 to December 15, 2024. Spanning over 15 acres, the exhibition is set to feature participation from more than 500 companies and is expected to attract over one lakh visitors, surpassing last year’s count of 1.75 lakh attendees.
The exhibition serves as a platform to showcase the latest products and innovative concepts in agriculture, drawing attention to solutions tailored to Indian agro-climatic conditions. Special pavilions focus on areas such as agri-inputs, protected cultivation, water management, tools, implements, seeds, and planting materials, making it easier for farmers to explore their interests.
Farmers attending the exhibition can witness groundbreaking farm technologies, particularly advanced drones, and modern tractors and harvesters. Leading agricultural institutions and associations are also present to bridge the gap between industry and farmers, fostering the exchange of knowledge.
Niranjan Deshpande, the organiser of the exhibition, said, “This year marks the 31st anniversary of the exhibition and we are proud to present numerous advanced agricultural products and instruments with new technology. Drones are a significant highlight this year at the exhibition. Compared to last year’s 1.75 lakh visitors, we are hoping this number will break the target and more visitors will come over. While Chinese companies no longer participate due to visa problems post-COVID, manufacturers from Japan, Israel, and Korea have joined, alongside our strong Indian representation. Approximately 93% of attendees are farmers from Maharashtra, while the remaining participants hail from across India.”
Balaji Baburav Lasurne, a 50-year-old farmer from Latur with 150 acres of farmland, visited the exhibition for the first time. He expressed his excitement, saying, “I had heard about this exhibition from farmers in my village, and curiosity led me here. The scale and offerings are incredible. I’ve learned a lot about new technologies and innovations in farming that have truly thrilled me.”
Sunil Thorath, 42, another farmer visitor from Beed who cultivates wheat, jowar, and sugarcane, said, “The exhibition introduced me to new techniques, equipment, and fertilizers that I have already purchased. It’s a fantastic opportunity for farmers to enhance their knowledge and resources.
