PotatoEurope 2026 to promote visionary ideas in crop production

PotatoEurope 2026 returns to Germany from 9 to 10 September 2026 to showcase the latest technology and innovations in potato cultivation

The event will explore visionary ideas in future‑oriented arable and crop production, as well as machinery in live field operation. Experts will lead the event’s star segments such as DLG Spotlights and the DLG Expert Stage, opening up opportunities for meaningful networking.

The DLG Spotlight ‘Agricultural Logistics’ provides a platform for tractors and specialized trailers – including scraper‑floor systems, conveyor belts and potato boxes – as well as cover systems and logistics software. Martin Vaupel, Chamber of Agriculture Lower Saxony, will be available to answer visitors’ questions.

Another offering of the DLG Spotlight that will unite farmers, manufacturers, researchers and investors is FarmRobotix, presenting future-oriented technologies, including the workings of autonomous machinery and digital systems.

The open‑air exhibition will focus on the entire value chain, from breeding through to processing. Running alongside is the SugarBeet Expo, a specialist trade fair for innovative field technology and current trends in sugar beet cultivation.

Participants can expect internationally leading companies from breeding, crop protection, digitalisation, agricultural machinery and processing to exhibit the latest market offerings. New varieties as well as the effects of crop‑protection products and fertilisers will be showcased in dedicated demonstration plots.

As modern potato production includes diverse aspects from soil health to robotics, PotatoEurope has set up a technical programme to cover these issues, flag challenges and seek solutions in specialist forums, expert talks and practice‑oriented discussion formats.

Participants will be experiencing live machinery demonstrations and get a close up picture of the advanced technologies-driven workflows that support the whole process under real operating conditions in the field. Topics include planting, harvesting, loading and innovative crop‑protection technologies. Case IH is the technology partner.
