Ministry of Food Processing Industries is all set to host its flagship event ‘World Food India’, after a gap of six years. The second edition of the event will be held at Pragati Maidan New Delhi between November 3 and 5 this year.

The announcement was made at a curtain raiser event in Delhi by the Union Food Processing Industries minister, Pasupati Kumar Paras and the minister of State for MoFPI, Prahlad Singh Patel. The 3-day event will have policy roundtables, exhibitions, thematic sessions, B2B/B2G/G2G meetings, food street, startup awards, etc.

Speaking on the occasion, union minister Kumar Paras said, “The government will market and promote the event through all Indian missions overseas, embassies of other countries in India and through the active support of the Ministry of Commerce and Industries to attract global participation in the event.”

Anita Praveen, secretary, MoFPI said, “The first edition of World Food India held in 2017 was a big success and the idea is to follow its footsteps to make the second edition bigger and better. Over 75,000 visitors from 60 countries attended the first edition with over 8,000 B2B/G2G meetings. The aim is two-fold - to make India an export hub for processed food, and at the same time make India self-reliant in the matter of packaging machinery and materials of food in the world.”
