A Premier Platform for India’s Fresh Produce Ecosystem
Fresh India Show 2026 will serve as a strategic meeting point for growers, exporters, importers, wholesalers, retailers, agri-tech innovators, logistics service providers, investors, policymakers, diplomats, and food industry professionals.
The event has consistently played a critical role in facilitating knowledge-sharing, business networking, and collaboration across the fresh produce value chain. It also serves as an ideal platform for showcasing emerging technologies, innovative farming practices, modern storage solutions, and sustainable food distribution systems.

India’s Fresh Produce Export Sector Shows Strong Growth Momentum
India’s fresh produce industry has witnessed remarkable growth in recent years, driven by rising global demand, improved infrastructure, and supportive government initiatives.
According to the organisers, India’s fresh produce exports reached USD 1.81 billion during FY 2023–24, with export volumes increasing by an impressive 47.3 percent over the past five years. This sustained growth highlights India’s expanding role as a reliable supplier in the global fresh produce market.
The strong export performance reflects the country’s improving logistics capabilities, better cold chain infrastructure, increased quality certification standards, and growing adoption of advanced farming technologies.
Fresh India Show 2026 will highlight these achievements while exploring strategies to further accelerate India’s agricultural export growth in the coming years.

Infrastructure development will remain another key focus, particularly around cold chain systems, warehousing efficiency, and logistics modernization that are essential for reducing food wastage and improving product quality.
Technology-driven agriculture will also take centre stage, with discussions around artificial intelligence, Internet of Things-enabled farming, precision agriculture, and digital transformation in farm management practices.
