Crop Protection, a global barometer of the pesticide industry, comprehensively showcases key links across the entire industry chain, from pesticide technicals, formulations, and intermediates to biopesticides and biological control technologies, pesticide synergistics and formulation technologies, testing and inspection, industry consulting, and logistics services. The specially designated "Biopesticides and Biological Control Technologies Zone" and "Agrochemical Industry Technology Transfer Exhibition Zone" aim to promote the industrialization and internationalization of agricultural biological products and build an innovative platform for deep integration of industry, academia, and research.

As a global trendsetter in the fertilizer industry, FSHOW showcases a full range of products, including mineral raw materials, compound fertilizers, new fertilizers, biostimulants, and fertilizer additives. FSHOW is committed to building a collaborative development system integrating resources, technology, and market, and providing a professional exchange platform for fertilizer industry professionals both domestically and internationally.

The China Agrochemical Equipment and Plant Protection Machinery Exhibition (CACE) focuses on the intelligent, green, and sustainable future of agrochemical production. It showcases intelligent production equipment and operating systems, innovative packaging solutions, novel label designs and applications, green and environmentally friendly technologies, and precision plant protection equipment. It presents the cutting-edge technologies, innovative achievements, and solutions of the agrochemical equipment industry across the entire value chain, providing agrochemical companies with one-stop technical and equipment support for achieving green and intelligent manufacturing and high-quality sustainable development. It also provides new solutions for the precise use of pesticides.

The AgTech agricultural technology exhibition, themed "Innovation-led, Technology-empowered," presents a panoramic view of cutting-edge technologies and equipment across the entire industry chain, including smart agriculture, modern seed industry, intelligent greenhouses, precision irrigation, agricultural IoT, and digital agriculture platforms, and builds a global, efficient platform for trade matching and industry exchange.

According to the organizers, the 2026 CAC Conference Week, held during the exhibition, will bring together the wisdom of global experts. Through three forums on plant protection, fertilizers, and agricultural technology, 14 conferences, and more than 100 expert reports, it will create an information feast for industry professionals to update their knowledge and promote sustainable development, focusing on topics such as industry policies, technological innovation, product applications, and market development.

The Plant Protection Forum provides in-depth analysis of global pesticide industry policies, market trends, new technologies in biopesticides and biological control, changes in registration and management regulations, market expansion experience, pesticide nanotechnology development, and the latest scientific and technological achievements, contributing to the international and sustainable development of the pesticide and upstream and downstream industries.

The FSHOW Fertilizer Forum fully leverages its role as an industry bridge, focusing on topics such as the global fertilizer market, biological agents, improving fertilizer utilization, and sustainable agricultural development. Through keynote forums, thematic sub-forums, and overseas brand matchmaking events, it provides channels for policy interpretation, technical exchange, and market access, promoting industry collaboration and mutual benefit.

The Modern Agricultural Science and Technology Forum aims to build a high-level, international dialogue platform to conduct in-depth discussions on four core areas: "intelligent equipment, seed industry innovation, modern greenhouses, and intelligent irrigation." It will gather cutting-edge industry trends and innovative practices, explore how to empower the entire agricultural production chain with advanced technology, jointly depict the blueprint for the future of agriculture, and promote the global agriculture towards precision.

A symposium held prior to the exhibition to support the expansion of high-quality pesticides into overseas markets invited leaders from the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation, the Institute for the Control of Agrochemicals of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, relevant departments of the Shanghai Customs Testing Center, Yangshan Customs, and the Yangshan Customs Anti-Smuggling Bureau, along with representatives from 20 companies, to conduct in-depth exchanges and discussions on new situations, new problems, and new difficulties encountered in my country's pesticide import and export, as well as new trends, new directions, and new ideas in import and export trade and industrial development, and to offer suggestions for supporting the expansion of high-quality pesticides into overseas markets.
