Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show

Canada's Outdoor Farm Show (COFS) is Ontario's largest outdoor agricultural trade show, attracting more than 600 exhibitors and 30,000 attendees annually. The event showcases export-ready farm equipment, advanced agricultural technologies, and live in-field demonstrations that support modern farming operations.

The Trade Commissioner Service (TCS) is organizing an international business program that will bring together vetted international delegates seeking Canadian agricultural solutions, technologies, and partnerships with Canadian suppliers.

COFS highlights the strengths of Ontario's agricultural sector, including:

• corn, soybean and winter wheat production
• forage cropping
• dairy farming
• mixed agricultural operations

The show places a strong emphasis on market-ready machinery and technologies already in commercial use, alongside ag-tech innovations relevant to on-farm adoption.

Featured equipment and technology solutions at COFS will include:

• precision agriculture
• automation and robotics
• dairy automation technology
• productivity and labour efficiency 
• sustainability and input optimization
