Ödemiş Exhibition, the meeting point of the sector

The Ödemiş-Bayındır line (Küçük Menderes Basin) is the center of Türkiye's plant market. Prices are determined in this region and influence buying and selling figures.

Information about a landscaping and ornamental plants fair to be held in Izmir was first floated in 2019. The current status of İZFAŞ's initiative remains unknown, but rumors vary. The Ödemiş Exhibition began in 2004 as Türkiye's first and only producer-consumer gathering for ornamental plants and landscaping, and has continued to this day. Regardless of its purpose, the Izmir Metropolitan Municipality's organizing of a landscape plant fair in Izmir is a positive step for landscapers and plant producers. Floraplus Magazine supports this initiative, as it does for other fairs.

However, relocating the Ödemiş Exhibition to Izmir is completely unacceptable. The Ödemiş-Bayındır line (Küçük Menderes Basin) is the center of Turkey's plant market. Prices are determined in this region and influence buying and selling figures throughout Türkiye. Those with plant needs, as well as representatives of public and private institutions and organizations, can visit the basin directly to see and tour the production process, gain information, and establish connections. This makes the Ödemiş Exhibition a hub for Türkiye's sectors. All producers, local administrators, and civil society organizations in the Küçük Menderes Basin must support the Ödemiş Exhibition and undertake its implementation.
