Manacapuru, a municipality in the Brazilian state of Amazonas near the state capital, Manaus, is preparing to host the fourth ExpoManacá from October 28 to 31, 2026. The agricultural exhibition will take place at the Parque do Ingá Cultural Complex, bringing together activities focused on rural production, business opportunities and cultural entertainment.
Organized by the municipal government, the event is expected to include animal exhibitions, family farming displays, handicrafts, regional products and commercial spaces. A food court will also offer visitors a range of local culinary options.
The event’s business component is intended to bring rural producers, entrepreneurs and visitors into the same setting. Such exhibitions can provide opportunities for producers to present their goods, establish contacts and introduce their businesses to new customers. However, the actual commercial impact of the 2026 edition cannot yet be assessed because organizers have not published figures for expected sales, participating businesses or completed transactions.
Previous editions have also included activities connected to the agricultural sector. In its coverage of the 2024 edition, Brazilian outlet No Ar! reported that rural producers could access information about regional farmers’ markets and rural credit opportunities through initiatives involving the Amazonas Sustainable Development Agency. Those activities illustrate how agricultural fairs can serve as points of contact between producers and support programs, although the same services have not been confirmed for the 2026 event.
Professional training is another element of this year’s announced program. According to information released by the Manacapuru municipal government, free courses will be offered during the mornings and afternoons. Details about course subjects, schedules and registration are expected to be published through official municipal channels.
The program also includes performances by national and regional musicians. Léo Foguete is scheduled to perform on October 29, Allanzinho on October 30, and Roberta Miranda on October 31, according to published event information.
By combining agricultural exhibitions, commercial activities, training and entertainment, ExpoManacá seeks to connect different parts of the local economy. Whether those activities translate into sustained income growth, new business partnerships or measurable gains for rural producers will require follow-up data after the fair concludes.
