The FRESH INDIA SHOW in Mumbai and Delhi stands as a key event in the fresh produce industry, offering a comprehensive platform for showcasing a wide array of products and services. This trade exhibition highlights the vibrant and evolving landscape of the fresh produce sector, featuring everything from fruits and vegetables to frozen and packaged goods, and beverages.
The show reflects significant trends in the industry, including a notable increase in per capita consumption of fruits and vegetables by 15-25%. This rise in demand is driving a surge in both import and domestic supply of fresh produce, with a corresponding growth in the popularity of frozen, cut, and packed products. As Indian consumers become more health-conscious and the nutritional benefits of fresh produce gain recognition, the demand continues to escalate.
In response to this growing market, Indian growers are investing heavily in planting materials for high-demand fruits such as bananas, strawberries, blueberries, and citrus fruits. Additionally, major investments are being made in advanced agricultural technologies, including hi-tech greenhouses and hydroponic systems, which are enhancing the commercialization and efficiency of the horticulture industry in India.
The conference component of the FRESH INDIA SHOW adds significant value by featuring presentations and panel discussions on pertinent topics within the sector. These sessions provide insights into the latest developments and future directions of the industry, covering areas such as agri-exporting, organic produce, and the latest in cold-chain equipment and technology.
Participants can engage with a diverse range of professionals, including fresh fruit and vegetable growers, agri-exporters, greenhouse and hydroponics consultants, and suppliers of seeds, seedlings, and machinery. This dynamic event is essential for anyone involved in the fresh produce industry, offering opportunities to explore new technologies, connect with industry leaders, and stay informed about market trends and innovations.
