Previous Horticultural Expo List
Horticultural Expos were previously known as International Horticultural Exhibitions. These exhibitions have a precise theme like Specialised Expos, and these themes are mostly related to agriculture, green economy, eco-friendly solutions and co-existence of man and nature. Green Economy, and eco-friendly living and solutions have been the hot issues for last eighty years, and they are being brought to light more and more with the passage of time. Countries around the world are trying to shift focus towards sustainable development and finding green solutions for the modern issues.
In this context, Horticultural Expos hold a special significance. These events are targeted towards specific themes and goals to ensure maximum awareness about green economy, agriculture and preservation on nature despite scientific advancement. These expos are regulated by International Association of Horticultural Producers. Check our Previous Horticultural Expo List for further details.
