This event brought together industry leaders and culinary innovators to connect, exchange ideas and explore potential collaborations while showcasing cutting-edge machinery for food production from across India.
More than eighty prominent industries representing various sectors of the food industry and agricultural processing from across India along with thousands of enthusiastic attendees visited the expo, exhibiting an array of products and services and providing a comprehensive view of the food industry's diversity.
