NEW DELHI — Indusfood 2026, India’s flagship global food and beverage exhibition, will showcase the country’s growing stature as a reliable and competitive player in the international food trade, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry said on Wednesday.
The three-day event is expected to bring together Indian food producers, international buyers, policymakers and global institutions, with the aim of strengthening trade relationships and opening new avenues for India’s food exports.
The ninth edition of Indusfood will be held from January 8 to January 10 at the India Expo Centre and Mart in Greater Noida.
Organized by the Trade Promotion Council of India, the exhibition is designed to further position India as a trusted partner in global food supply chains, at a time when worldwide demand is rising for safe, traceable and sustainably sourced food products.
