Fruchtwelt Bodensee Friedrichshafen – meeting place for fruit growing, agriculture, and distilling

Innovation meets tradition: focus on agricultural technology, direct marketing, and climate strategies

Fruchtwelt Bodensee is one of the leading trade fairs for commercial fruit growing, agriculture, and distillation in the German-speaking world. It takes place in the border triangle of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland – on the grounds of Messe Friedrichshafen, a region with a long tradition of fruit growing and winegrowing. The event combines agricultural technology, knowledge transfer, networking, and market impulses under one roof. Visitors gain a comprehensive overview of machinery, plants, operating resources, and services along the entire agricultural value chain—from planting to direct marketing, from plant protection to distillation.

Fruit growing with a future—technology, sustainability, efficiency

A central focus of the trade fair is fruit growing. Manufacturers present modern harvesting machines, mulchers, planting and maintenance equipment, fertilization technology, frost protection systems, and solutions for hail protection. Technology for irrigation, nutrient control, and automation is also becoming increasingly important in light of climate change, resource scarcity, and rising quality requirements. The range of products on offer is complemented by planting material, pest control, soil analysis, and digital tools for farm management. From apples to cherries, from pears to plums – the diversity of commercial fruit growing is tangible at Fruchtwelt Bodensee.

Focus on distillation technology and distillation

A unique feature of the trade fair is the comprehensive section dedicated to distillation. Suppliers showcase distillation kettles, distillation equipment, filtration technology, aroma distillation, filling systems, labeling systems, and accessories. Legal topics such as tax law, customs regulations, and labeling requirements are also addressed in a practical manner. In cooperation with regional and national distillers' associations, there will be product tastings, technology demonstrations, and opportunities to exchange ideas on new processes or flavor developments – ideal for distilleries, manufacturers, and direct marketers.

Direct marketing & farm shop concepts

Direct marketing is becoming increasingly important for many agricultural businesses. Fruchtwelt Bodensee offers a wide range of products and services to promote farm sales: from shelving systems, packaging solutions, cash register systems, and online shop connections to hygiene technology and advertising materials. Specialist suppliers show how modern farm shops can be designed, products presented, and added value kept regional – an increasingly relevant factor for success in a competitive market.

Expertise on stage: lectures, panels, consulting

Accompanying the exhibition, the trade fair offers a high-quality lecture program with topics such as:

• Plant protection strategies in climate change
• Digitalization in fruit growing
• New varieties and market trends
• Sustainable packaging in direct marketing
• Tax and legal changes in the agricultural sector
• Biodiversity and ecological land management
• The future of orchard meadows

Special areas & innovations

Young companies, start-ups, and universities will present innovative projects: autonomous harvesting machines, smart weather stations, data-based plant protection forecasts, and AI-supported fruit sorters. This innovative strength clearly shows how much even traditional areas such as fruit growing and viticulture are undergoing technological change. Anyone interested in other trade and public fairs in Friedrichshafen – for example, in the fields of agriculture, technology, leisure, or education – will find a comprehensive overview of the diverse regional trade fair offerings at Messe Friedrichshafen.

Network, taste, experience

Fruchtwelt Bodensee is not only an information platform, but also a lively industry event: with technical discussions, tastings, machine demonstrations, and space for personal encounters. Farmers, contractors, dealers, fruit-growing consultants, local government representatives, and direct marketers will find the perfect platform for exchange here.
