June 25, 2025 - June 27, 2025
The Brazilian horticultural sector plays an essential role in ensuring that quality food reaches the tables of families across the country. It is responsible for producing enough to meet the demands of the population, while also maintaining high standards of quality and quantity. As the agricultural segment that generates the most jobs in Brazil, the horticultural industry is integral to the nation's economy. Specifically, floriculture stands out for its significant contribution to employment, especially among women, further highlighting the sector's profound importance to the country.
One of the key events that highlights the growth and innovation within this sector is the Hortitec exhibition. The event stands as a powerful symbol of the ongoing development in horticulture, particularly in areas such as seeds, seedlings, fertilizers, pesticides, and biodefensive products. Moreover, it emphasizes advancements in tools, greenhouses, and machinery designed to optimize production. A noteworthy trend observed at this year’s event is the growing focus on biotechnology and renewable energy, marking a shift toward sustainable and forward-thinking practices within the industry. As Renato Opitz, the general director of Hortitec, comments, there is a clear concern among all parties involved in the production chain to minimize waste while ensuring the availability of healthy food for consumers.
Hortitec is recognized as the largest horticultural event in Latin America, drawing producers, professionals, and institutional representatives from across the entire production chain. The exhibition offers an invaluable opportunity for those involved in the cultivation of flowers, fruits, vegetables, and forestry, among others, to connect, share insights, and forge new partnerships. The event operates as a dynamic platform for information exchange, allowing exhibitors and visitors to engage in productive conversations that lead to new business opportunities and collaborations.
The event not only highlights the latest technological advancements but also facilitates the growth of a network that supports the continuous development of the horticultural sector. As an essential gathering for professionals dedicated to the growth and sustainability of agriculture, Hortitec serves as a vital force in shaping the future of Brazil’s horticultural industry, driving it toward greater innovation and sustainability in food production.
