Foodpro 2019 is a platform for food technology sector and food industry which focusses on current trends in food processing. Showcasing innovation through modern technology, building brand and creating awareness are the highlights of Foodpro 13th edition which is slated to take place at Chennai Trade Centre, Chennai, from August 23 to 25, 2019. The event will be co-located with ColdStoRe India and T-Food, a movement to revive native traditional foods.
The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) - southern region has been organising the event since 1995. Its crossover concept covers everything from manufacturing and processing of foods, packaging, storage, transportation, food safety and retailing with a process orientation and cross-sector approach.
India is the second-largest producer of food and agri commodities in the world, wherein they play a vital role in the global food processing industry. Agriculture trade is increasingly high since 2000 and developing countries are participating in international markets.
The global production has continued to increase, so that it will meet the demand since the trade has expanded significantly, with its composition and pattern following changes in demand and the emergence of new agricultural exporters and importers. Food processing industry is expected to grow around India’s US$600 billion by 2020.
Kaleeswaran, secretary, Karaikudi Bakery Owners Association, said, “Foodpro is concentrating on enterpreneurship of food industry in southern region. Last year, they were sending invites directly to the enterpreneurs. But this year, they are focussing on every district and the organisers of the event are sending their representatives in each district and inviting them for the event as it will motivate more enterpreneurs. The event will also cover all the major topics related to food industry.”
