Speaking on the announcement of Fi India and Propak India’s venture in the Southern market, Yogesh Mudras, managing director, Informa Markets in India, said, “While the Indian food and grocery market is the world’s sixth-largest, with retail contributing 70% of the sales, the Indian food processing industry accounts for 32% of the country’s total food market, one of the largest industries in India and is ranked fifth in terms of production, consumption, export and expected growth. Within this framework, Karnataka known as the ‘Coffee capital of India’ has a well-established infrastructure of food parks and cold chains with a strong food and beverage processing industry ecosystem. The objective for this year’s Fi India and ProPak India expos in a new market is to offer a comprehensive showcase of ingredients and packaging and help leverage India’s wide-ranging and large raw material base for food processing industries.”
