Join Us at the 2025 World Ag Expo in Tulare County: Exciting Innovations and Networking Awaits!

Tulare County is buzzing with excitement for this year’s World Ag Expo. The event kicks off on Tuesday, bringing together people from all over the globe to explore the latest trends in agriculture.

Local businesses, such as Tep-Ag Products from Madera, are eager to showcase their plant and soil nutrition products. David Hansen from Tep-Ag Products highlights the opportunity the expo presents to connect with international growers who may not be familiar with their company.

The Expo isn’t just about agriculture; it’s a boost for the local economy too. Hotels are filling up, and restaurants are bustling with visitors. For example, Apple Annie’s, a favorite local eatery, sees a significant rise in business during this busy week. Owner Jose Perdomo notes that sales can jump by 15%, and they prepare for a surge of customers, sometimes serving as many as 400 in a single day.

This year, the economic impact of the Expo is projected to exceed $50 million. Expo chairwoman Connie Conway emphasizes the hard work of hundreds of volunteers who make the event possible. She also mentions that over 30 food vendors benefit from a unique arrangement, allowing them to keep the revenue they generate, which supports their causes.

Attendees can look forward to a diverse array of food options. From classic tri-tip sandwiches to healthy veggie bowls, there’s something for everyone at the event. The variety reflects the community spirit and the commitment to offering a great experience.

Safety is also a priority, with plans in place for security to handle any potential protests, ensuring a smooth event for attendees.

The World Ag Expo not only celebrates agriculture but also connects people and communities while significantly contributing to the local economy.
