Fresh India Show 2026 confirmed the growing importance of the Indian fresh produce market. The next edition is already scheduled for 2027
Fresh India Show 2026 once again confirmed that it is one of the key industry events for the fresh fruit and vegetable sector, cold chain logistics, packaging, and international trade in India. The eighth edition of the exhibition, held on 29–30 May 2026 at the CIDCO Exhibition Centre in New Mumbai, brought together participants representing the entire fresh produce value chain and created a platform for discussions on trade, technology, exports, and industry development.
The event connects the Indian fresh produce business with global cooperation opportunities, reflecting India’s growing importance as a consumer, production, and export market. According to information presented on the exhibition’s website, per capita fresh produce consumption in India is increasing at a rate of 15–25%, while the value of fresh produce exports reached USD 1.81 billion in the 2023/24 financial year. The organisers also highlighted a 47.3% increase in export volume over the past five years, clearly showing that India is strengthening its position in the international trade of fresh fruits and vegetables.
One of the major strengths of Fresh India Show remains its strongly business-oriented and content-driven character. The event programme covered topics related to global perspectives for fresh produce and the agricultural value chain, trade development through 2030, government support for export expansion, changes in Indian consumer behaviour, and the development of new crops. Important topics also included aggregators and agritech startups, logistics, storage, cold chain infrastructure, post-harvest management, retail development, the convenience segment and frozen food, as well as new horticultural technologies, including solutions based on AI, IoT, and sustainable practices.
Another strong asset of the event is its broad participant profile, which reinforces the role of the exhibition as a platform for real networking and knowledge exchange. Fresh India Show brings together producers, importers, exporters, distributors, wholesalers, retailers, logistics operators, companies from the cold chain and packaging sectors, representatives of public administration, agritech startups, banks, investors, consultants, technology experts, researchers, and solution providers for the industry. This diversity makes the event not only an exhibition, but also a meeting point for trade, production, technology, and capital.
The exhibitor list available on the website clearly shows the scale and profile of the partners present at Fresh India Show. Among the listed companies and institutions are APEDA, Adani Agrifresh Limited, JAFZA - Jebel Ali Free Zone, Sahyadri Farmers Producer Co Ltd, Vista Packaging Pvt. Ltd., Growth Logistics Pvt Ltd, Haygrove India Private Limited, and many other entities linked to exports, logistics, production, certification, and technology. This exhibitor profile confirms that the event attracts both major players from the Indian market and companies interested in international cooperation.
Fresh India Show is also being developed as a communication and promotional platform for the industry. Its extensive sponsorship and partnership offering includes visibility in promotional materials, exhibition space, mailing communication, and the official event magazine. Thanks to this, the exhibition creates value not only through the presentation of products and services, but also by strengthening brand recognition and supporting long-term business relationships.
The next edition is scheduled for 23–24 April 2027 in Mumbai. Fresh India Show 2027 will be held as the 9th edition of the international exhibition and conference dedicated to fresh fruits and vegetables, processing and packaging, cold chain, and allied industries. All signs indicate that the upcoming edition will once again focus on building trade relationships, supporting exports, showcasing new technologies, and further strengthening India’s position in the global fresh produce market.
At a time when India is rapidly increasing its importance as a producer, consumer, and trading partner in the fresh produce sector, Fresh India Show remains an event that effectively responds to the needs of the market. For companies looking for new contacts, industry knowledge, and international growth opportunities, it is a platform whose importance is set to continue growing.
