How we help power a major farming event in Brazil

As one of the world’s leading agricultural producers, Brazil relies on its highway network to connect farms and export routes. In Ribeirão Preto, in the State of São Paulo, this connection between agriculture and mobility becomes especially visible every year with Agrishow, the largest agricultural technology fair in Latin America and one of the biggest in the world.

Served by the Prefeito Antônio Duarte Nogueira Highway, operated by VINCI Highways’ concessionaire Entrevias, the event is a major mobility challenge. Each year, we mobilise teams and resources to help ensure smooth access to Agrishow and support the success of the event.

A major showcase of farming innovation 

Set across 520,000 square metres, Agrishow is a large-scale demonstration of the technological sophistication of modern agriculture. Designed to cover solutions for all types of crops and farm sizes, the fair brings together the full agribusiness value chain, from machinery, irrigation and storage to precision farming and new production technologies. It is also a major platform for product launches and the latest trends shaping the future of agriculture in Brazil and beyond.

From 27 April to 1 May 2026, the event will once again bring together nearly 200,000 visitors and more than 800 brands, buyers, public authorities and business delegations from key agricultural countries such as the United States, India and China.

One of the busiest weeks of the year for Entrevias

During Agrishow, traffic around Ribeirão Preto intensifies sharply, with volumes on the access route expected to rise by around 20%. To keep vehicles moving safely and efficiently, Entrevias deploys a reinforced operational plan combining real-time traffic guidance, congestion management, road signage, user assistance and rapid-response interventions, in coordination with the Highway Patrol.

Our teams also strengthen their presence on the ground, with additional patrol vehicles, tow trucks and ambulances positioned to respond to incidents and support drivers throughout the event. Temporary road closures and detours are implemented during peak periods to ease circulation and help absorb the exceptional flow of visitors and exhibitors converging on the fair.

This year, Entrevias teams will also be present at the fair through the “Life in Motion” programme, raising awareness of safer and more preventive driving practices.

Highways at the service of their territories

Agrishow illustrates a broader ambition for VINCI Highways in Brazil. With nearly 1,200 km of highways operated or under construction through Entrevias in São Paulo and Via Cristais in Minas Gerais and Goiás, VINCI Highways is present in regions that play a key role in the country’s agricultural production and logistics flows.

This footprint positions VINCI Highways as a long-term partner to Brazilian agribusiness, both in everyday mobility and at strategic moments such as Agrishow. By supporting safer, more reliable connections between territories, economic hubs and export routes, VINCI Highways contributes to the prosperity of the regions it serves.
