The IndusFood trade exhibition opened in Greater Noida this morning 8 January 2025. Inaugurated by Chirag Paswan, India’s minister for food processing, the event represents a commitment by Indian and global food processors, ingredient suppliers, exporters, and importers. Backed by the Ministry of Food Processing of the government of India, it reflected the importance of the food industry which at nearly US$ 1 trillion represents more than 25% of the country’s GDP.
Occupying all the halls at the Greater Noida Expo Center, the trade event has large and well-decorated stands from Asian suppliers of edible oils and other food ingredients and several country stands from all the continents. They are here to sell their ingredients and products to the Indian food processors and brands as well as to buy and import commodities such as rice, pulses, spices, tea as well as processed foods and beverages from the Indian dairy, snack, and ready-to-eat foods industry.
There is a good representation of intermediary, trading, service, and consulting companies from several regions and continents that can move forward the marketing, trading, distribution, and branding of food products for producers. Several large companies at the show are importers of ingredients for distribution to Indian food processors, and exporters of finished consumer food products.
From what we have seen so far, the exhibition promises a formidable amount of quality networking, exchange of ideas, samples, and trade. Especially impressive are the tea, dairy, rice, and spice processors and brands. Overseas exhibitors have large stands and business visitors from the Middle East are engaged in meaningful conversations that seem to indicate they are keen buyers looking at the Indian suppliers of quality products.
The other IndusFood exhibition called IndusFood Tech opens tomorrow at Yashobhoomi in Dwarka on the other side of the Delhi NCR tomorrow on 9 January. IndiFoodBev and Packaging South Asia which are covering both shows have a stand (hall 1 – G28), at the Yashobhoomi location – which has exhibitors displaying and demonstrating their food processing and packaging equipment.
