Israel has a broad knowledge of growing vegetables and plants under harsh circumstances. For over decades they have managed to grow vegetables in desert circumstances. Therefor they've gathered extensive knowledge on topics becoming important more broadly as water shortage. Therefor the conference program organised during the exhibition was themed “Agriculture in arid and semi-arid regions."

For starters greenhouse building company Azrom had a very good show. "The exhibition is very good, packed with visitors from all over the world coming to see Israeli innovations", Zviki Porat tells.
Specializing in turnkey projects, Azrom provides the complete greenhouse package and is known for its enthusiasm om F-Clean, an ultra-thin ETFE film (ETFE foil) with an anti-drip coating, designed to increase the yields inside commercial greenhouses. Among other topics this was discussed broadly with many visitors to the booth.

Self-assembly greenhouse
For the Israeli company Teshuva Agricultural Projects the exhibition is an exciting one. The company recently launched the TAPKIT, a 500 m2 hydroponic unit, which can produce 6-12 tons of leafy vegetables and fresh herbs per year. "The idea is to enable small farmers to have their own hydroponic business, where they can grow and market their production to the neighbors, neighbor restaurants and their own consumption", Teshuva Agricultural Projects CEO Avner Shohet explained with the launch.
The idea turned out to be a success, since the TAPKIT is not only visited very well but also sold already. Contracts were signed on the exhibition and the first TAPKIT is to be shipped all the way to Asia.

Irrigation with a brain
With water being such a hot topic also many novelties were launched. Netafim launched their irrigation system NetBeat at the exhibition. They describe the system as "the first one with a brain", makint it possible to monitor, analyze and automate the irrigation from wherever you are.
The global launch of NetBeat enhanced a show the Eurovision team could be jealous of - check out the video here - and the system itself definitely is worth a look as well.
