Opportunity brief

Why this event matters for exhibitors

The 17th edition of India Foodex will be held concurrently with the 15th DairyTech India at the Karnataka Trade Promotion Organisation in Bengaluru, India. This event showcases India's pivotal role in the food processing sector, which has become integral to the nation’s economic growth and the realization of the vision for a Viksit Bharat. With the economy currently valued at $3.7 trillion and an ambitious goal to reach $30-35 trillion by 2047, the food processing sector stands at the forefront of this transformation. India’s diverse agro-climatic conditions allow for the production of a wide variety of crops, making it one of the world's leading agricultural producers. This natural advantage contributes significantly to the development of a robust food processing ecosystem that encourages innovation and entrepreneurship across the entire value chain.The event is expected to attract around 10,000 visitors and 110 exhibitors, making it a significant gathering for industry leaders, policymakers, entrepreneurs, investors, and researchers both from India and abroad. Participants will engage in discussions on emerging trends and showcase advancements in food processing, packaging, grain handling, storage, and cold chain logistics. The event aims to highlight important government initiatives, such as the PM Kisan SAMPADA Yojana and the PM Formalisation of Micro Food Processing Enterprises Scheme, which are designed to modernize infrastructure and empower small food processing units. With a focus on fostering innovation, partnerships, and sustainability, India Foodex and DairyTech India will serve as a dynamic platform for technology display, business networking, and international collaboration. The synergy of agriculture, technology, and processing will continue to enhance productivity and progress, ensuring future food security and opportunity across the nation.
