World Food India 2025 concluded on September 28 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, with investment commitments exceeding ₹1.02 lakh crore. The four-day event, held from September 25 to 28, brought together leading global and domestic stakeholders in the food sector, resulting in 26 agreements signed between prominent companies and the Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI).
The agreements focus on expanding investment, adopting advanced technologies, and improving market access for India’s food products. They cover key areas including agro-processing, cold chain infrastructure, food safety solutions, and manufacturing technologies, with expectations of boosting domestic production, exports, and employment opportunities.
The event attracted over 1,000 companies from more than 60 countries, including multinational corporations and startups. Delegates engaged in business-to-business meetings, panel discussions, and exhibitions, highlighting innovation and sustainability in food production.
Union Minister for Food Processing Industries said the event is a significant step toward making India a global food processing hub. “These investments will strengthen supply chains, improve infrastructure, and ensure higher returns for farmers and stakeholders,” he stated.
The partnerships signed at the summit will help develop cold storage facilities, food parks, organic farming initiatives, and enhanced food safety protocols. These efforts aim to support India’s goal of becoming a ₹10 lakh crore food processing economy by 2030.
With growing demand for processed food and a focus on sustainability, India’s food processing industry is poised for strong growth. The commitments made during World Food India 2025 are expected to accelerate capacity expansion and strengthen India’s role in global trade.
World Food India 2025 highlighted India’s potential as a major player in the global food sector and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to fostering investment and innovation in the industry.
