India’s growing importance in the global food and beverage industry will take center stage at Anuga Select India 2026, as international food businesses, country pavilions, buyers and industry stakeholders come together for three days of sourcing, trade, innovation and business networking.
A key highlight of the 2026 edition is the European Union (EU) participating as the Official Country Partner, bringing Europe’s diverse agri-food ecosystem to India and creating opportunities for greater market access, sourcing and business collaboration between European suppliers and the Indian food and beverage industry.
The EU Pavilion will showcase the breadth of European agri-food excellence, highlighting the quality, authenticity, food safety, traceability, sustainability and innovation associated with European food systems.
The pavilion will present a diverse range of food categories, including dairy and cheese, bakery and confectionery ingredients, meat and processed meat products, cereals and grain-based products, specialty agricultural products, premium food ingredients, sustainable food solutions and authentic regional European foods.
Through product showcases, tastings and knowledge-sharing opportunities, the EU presence will give Indian buyers, importers, distributors, retailers and HoReCa professionals an opportunity to discover European products, understand their provenance and explore new sourcing possibilities.
The participation of the European Union further strengthens Anuga Select India’s role as a platform connecting international food suppliers with India’s expanding food and beverage market, while providing businesses with opportunities to build long-term commercial relationships.
Alongside the EU, 12+ countries will participate through international country pavilions and exhibitors, bringing a wide spectrum of global food products, ingredients, innovations and sourcing opportunities to Mumbai.
Participating countries include Saudi Arabia, Thailand, the Philippines, South Korea, China, Türkiye, Spain, Indonesia, Brazil, Italy, Germany and Georgia.
From Asian food innovation and tropical and processed food products to European culinary heritage, Middle Eastern food and agricultural initiatives, and the diverse agricultural strengths of Latin America, the international pavilions will give Indian buyers direct access to suppliers and products from some of the world’s key food-producing and exporting markets.
The international presence also reflects the growing demand for global food products, premium ingredients, international cuisines and new sourcing opportunities across India’s retail, food service, hospitality and food manufacturing sectors.
