16th edition of TSW: record scale, innovation, and real business

The latest edition of the Fruit and Vegetable Industry Fair (TSW) once again confirmed its position as a leading event for professional fruit and vegetable producers in Central and Eastern Europe. The two-day event attracted 21,000 visitors from Poland and abroad, which is 4,000 more than last year.

A total of 508 companies presented their offers, including nearly 100 international exhibitors, on an exhibition area of almost four hectares–the largest in the history of the event. Among the exhibitors were also companies from destinations particularly exotic for the Polish industry, such as Congo, Senegal, and New Zealand.

What surprised the organizers was not only the number of visitors, but also the strong interest from international fruit and vegetable producers. Exhibitors highly rated the audience's professionalism and their readiness for business talks. The event was also attended by the Ambassador of New Zealand, who visited the stand of a company from his country and announced that he would encourage more New Zealand companies to participate in the next edition of TSW.

The exhibition stands were dominated by technologies addressing key production challenges: automation and robotics, cost-reducing solutions, precision fertilization and crop protection systems, as well as digital tools supporting farm management. New machines, prototypes, AI-based technologies, and solutions for storage and post-harvest preparation were presented.

TSW: awards, education, networking, and more

A strong pillar of the event was the industry conferences, covering orchard production, vegetable production, berry crops (currants and raspberries), strawberries, viticulture, and protected cultivation. Experts discussed current strategies for crop protection, fertilization, storage, and logistics, as well as farm management under cost pressure and climate change. High attendance confirmed the growing demand for specialized, practical knowledge among producers.

An important part of the program was the resolution of the Prof. Szczepan A. Pieniążek Innovation Award, recognizing innovations for horticulture. Awards were granted to Andermatt Polska, Niva-Top, and Max Crop. A distinction was also awarded to the new apple variety “Sander” (AJAPPLE).

Great interest was also generated by the Fruit Grower of the Year 2025 competition. The main title was awarded to Tomasz Piasecki from Palczew (Mazovia). Distinctions were granted to producers from the Grójec region and the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship.

Once again, strong attention from demanding participants was focused on the Business Zone, which became a central hub for B2B meetings. This was where discussions took place on investments in new technological lines, farm modernization, and the implementation of precision horticulture solutions.

The latest edition of TSW confirmed that the event remains a key platform for technology presentation, exchange of production experience, and direct business talks for the fruit and vegetable sector.

We already invite you to the 17th edition of TSW, which will take place in January 2027 at Targi Kielce.
