With the participation of the Minister of Agriculture, Aránzazu Simón, the event has established itself as the national benchmark for extensive crops, bringing together industry professionals in a 15-hectare environment transformed into an outdoor laboratory.
A benchmark event in agricultural innovation
Cultiva 2026 has succeeded in attracting more than 3,000 visitors and includes the participation of approximately 60 companies and organizations. In total, 56 exhibitors and 25 agronomic showcases are distributed throughout the venue, along with spaces dedicated to agriculture 4.0. The day combines field demonstrations, agronomic trials, and the application of advanced technologies, aiming to promote a more competitive, technologically advanced, and profitable agriculture.
