New Partnership Brings Major Agricultural Trade Show to Grand Falls, New Brunswick

A New Brunswick-grown industry partnership will see Grand Falls host an all-new edition of the major farming trade show AgriExpo this summer. Valley Chamber of Commerce, alongside Master Promotions Ltd., Canada’s largest independent trade and consumer event company, are planning this large-scale exposition to showcase new trends, technology and equipment for farming sectors throughout the region.

Taking place Wednesday, August 14th and Thursday, August 15th, AgriExpo 2019 will attract thousands of attendees from New Brunswick, Quebec, Maine, and beyond, generating significant economic and industry impacts for Grand Falls and surrounding communities. This year’s edition is expected to be bigger and better than ever before, with indoor and outdoor exhibits covering over 100,000 square feet of space at the E. & P. Sénéchal Center.

A major voice for the farming community in New Brunswick, Potatoes NB is thrilled to be on board as a supporting partner of the event.
