SPAIN WILL HOST THE ETP FARM TOUR 2026, A LEADING INTERNATIONAL EVENT FOR THE TURFGRASS INDUSTRY

Already established as one of the most important events on the professional calendar, the ETP Farm Tour stands out for offering an immersive experience that combines knowledge transfer, exchange of best practices, technical visits, and exclusive spaces to strengthen strategic partnerships.

For the 2026 edition, Tapiz Verde S.L. has designed a program that reflects both the strength of the sector in Spain and its growing international presence. Tapiz Verde S.L., the host company, will present its work and main lines of innovation. Among them, is the ‘turf a la carte’, a system that allows full customization of the type of grass according to the project’s needs; hybrid systems, which combine natural grass with synthetic reinforcements for greater durability; and high performance solutions used in top division football fields, an area in which the company has extensive experience and recognition.

The region of Extremadura provides an ideal setting for grass cultivation and production for the event. Its climate, soils, and agricultural tradition make this territory a privileged place for the development of new varieties and work techniques.

Added to this are abundant natural resources, the presence of leading agricultural farms, and a growing drive toward innovation in the primary sector. Extremadura is also renowned for its cultural richness, its cuisine based on local products and the coexistence of agricultural landscapes, pastures, and historic towns that preserve a unique heritage.

All of this makes visiting the region the ultimate experience, combining nature, agriculture, and culture in an authentic and appealing setting for visitors.
