About Dutch Pork & Poultry Expo

Dutch Pork & Poultry Expo is an agriculture trade show taking place October 14–15, 2026 in s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands. It runs for two days, opening on Wednesday and closing on Thursday. That is only 5 days away, so most planning deadlines have already passed; focus on travel, staffing and lead capture. The dates were checked against the official show website.

Shows like this one typically draw farmers, growers, cooperatives, agronomists, equipment dealers and agribusiness buyers. For registration, exhibitor packages and the floor plan, go to the official website, porkpoultryexpo.nl.

What to expect at Dutch Pork & Poultry Expo

Agriculture shows are practical and often seasonal, with large outdoor displays, machinery and livestock or crop sections. Visitors are direct, value proof in the field, and often travel long distances to attend.

Two days go by quickly. Book your most important meetings for the first morning, when visitors are fresh, and keep the second afternoon for follow-up conversations at the booth. Expect most visitors to be farmers and their colleagues, often with a short list of suppliers they want to see.

• Know your dealer network and service coverage by region.

Booth tips for Dutch Pork & Poultry Expo

• Talk results first: yield, cost per acre or hours saved.
• Ask about farm size, crops or livestock to qualify quickly.
• Have shade, water and seating; long show days outdoors are tiring for visitors and staff.
• Give every person on the booth a clear role (greeting, demos, qualifying) so nobody waits for someone else to start a conversation.
• If you expect local buyers in Netherlands, bring key material in the local language as well as English, and have prices ready in the local currency.
• Capture every conversation the moment it ends: scan the badge or card, add a one-line note about what the visitor needs, and rate the lead hot, warm or cold. Notes written that evening are already half forgotten.
