 STAFF REPORTER

GUWAHATI The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), recognizing the growing market demand in the north-eastern region, is organizing the first edition of Foodpro North-East 2023, scheduled from September 14 to September 16, 2023, at the Maniram Dewan Trade Centre in Guwahati.

The theme of Foodpro North-East 2023 is ‘Growing the Market for Food Processing in North-East’, and the event will be chaired by B Thiagarajan, Managing Director of Blue Star Ltd.

India’s picturesque north-eastern region (NER), known for its breathtaking natural beauty and fertile lands, is set to become a thriving hub for food processing. With an agro-friendly climate and a rich agricultural heritage, NER is poised to emerge as a sunrise zone for food processing, thanks to the various incentives offered by the Government of India. These initiatives are not only benefiting agricultural producers but also creating employment opportunities in transportation, packaging, advertising, and marketing.

This initiative is supported by the Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MOFPI), Government of India, and has received participation from other government nodal agencies like the Spices Board and the CFTRI - Central Food Technological Research Institute. Foodpro North-East features a three-day exhibition with the participation of over 50 exhibitors from all over India besides sectoral conferences, B2B, B2G & B2C meetings.
