"The Foodtech Fair is a significant catalyst for modernisation, skill development, partnership-building, product innovation and market expansion in the local food industry, with particular benefits for up-and-coming businesses and those adopting sustainable technologies. With India signing up new Free Trade Agreements with different countries and organisations, it has immensely brightened the scope for overall growth of the food sector and infusion of smart food processing, preserving and packaging technologies in the country," said Zakir Hossain, Chief Convenor, 22nd International Foodtech Kolkata, 2025.

This Foodtech Fair provides opportunities to explore industry trends, connect with influential buyers and suppliers, discover innovative technologies, and expand into new markets. India's food processing sector, one of the largest in the world, lies at the heart of the Government of India's Make in India initiative.
Foodtech Fair lays emphasis on eco-friendly technologies, waste reduction, and sustainable sourcing, which can encourage the local industry to adopt greener methods.
"The International Food Technology Fair in Kolkata introduces local businesses to new processing, packaging, and automation technologies, helping them modernise their operations and improve efficiency. Exposure to cutting-edge machinery and digital solutions enables even small and medium enterprises to compete more effectively and adopt best practices.
The event serves as a platform for local entrepreneurs, manufacturers, and suppliers to network with national and international players, facilitating business deals, knowledge sharing, and collaboration. These connections can result in technology transfers, distribution deals, and even exports," Hossain said.
