The International Agricultural Exhibition in Hamburg of 1863 (Internationale Landwirthschaftliche Ausstellung zu Hamburg) was a major, highly influential global World's Fair dedicated exclusively to farming, livestock, and agro-industrial technology. It was held from July 14 to July 20, 1863, on Hamburg's famous Heiligengeistfeld parade grounds; it served as a critical platform for exchanging the mid-19th century's rapidly evolving agricultural breakthroughs.
