VII Agricultural Forum: Greenhouse Industry 2026

About the Event

🌱 A Regional Greenhouse & CEA Industry Forum in Russia

Greenhouse Industry – 2026 is a specialized agricultural forum focused on commercial greenhouse production, floriculture, and controlled growing environments, taking place on April 23–24, 2026, in Sochi, Russia.
The event brings together greenhouse operators, agri-business leaders, technology suppliers, and policy stakeholders to discuss market trends, cost pressures, innovation, and production efficiency across the greenhouse value chain.

While the forum is not a pure Vertical Farming expo, it strongly overlaps with CEA, hydroponics, and protected cultivation, making it relevant for companies active in indoor and semi-controlled growing systems within Eastern Europe and Eurasia.

The forum is organized by the Federal Agribusiness Magazine, a long-running agricultural industry publication that regularly hosts sector-focused business forums across Russia.
