The international plant production trade show returns to Angers this week, from January 16th to 18th, 2024. According to SIVAL president Bruno Dupont, the event will be an “unmissable and privileged place to get inspired, build and envisage the future of the sectors with optimism and pragmatism.” Nearly 26,000 visitors are expected for this 37th edition and no fewer than 700 exhibitors on 38,000 m² of exhibition space. The main theme of SIVAL 2024 will be “the attractiveness of the sectors and the sustainability of production.”
Innovation in SIVAL’s DNA
The plant production trade show aims to “promote solutions that respond to the need for more sustainable agriculture, in line with major environmental and social issues.” This drive for innovation will take the form of two competitions: the SIVAL Innovation competition, which rewards innovative solutions (awards ceremony on January 17th), and the Agreen Startup competition.

SIVAL continues to expand its international presence, with the VIBE (Végépolys Valley International Business Event) business convention, FRUIT 2050 and the presence of new delegations of top foreign buyers to “enable SIVAL exhibitors to forge links on the international scene.” This year, 16 countries are expected to attend, representing some 50 foreign buyers: United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal, Romania, Poland, Turkey, Egypt, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Algeria, Colombia, Mexico, Tunisia, Cameroon, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
