While the pandemic disrupted supply chains the world over and distressed farmers across the globe, it has also pushed people to move towards organic choices. The Indian organic food market has also seen a surge with a market size touching $820 million in 2020, which was just about $200 million in 2018, as per the report, and is likely to grow at a CAGR of 24% during 2022-2026.

Sonia Prashar, Managing Director and Chairperson of the Board, NuernbergMesse India, asserts that Organic lifestyle is the way forward, "The world is gradually shifting towards organic lifestyle. BIOFACH INDIA has established itself as the most important platform in the sector. This year we are excited to announce 'MILLETS INDIA' - the premier edition of the event, which will help organisations showcase this 'SuperFood' to a global audience. The platform allows the entire industry to network, exchange information and ideas, foster dialogue and business. Whether you are an established business or individual planning to explore the sector, this is the platform for you."

MILLETS INDIA - the future is bright!

India with its 41.04 per cent global market share is the largest global producer and fifth largest exporter of Millets with a production of approx. 12 million MT annually. Recognizing the immense potential of this crop, the Government of India is taking various measures to create further domestic and international demand and to raise awareness of the nutritional values of this superfood to public. To facilitate the movement, 2018 was celebrated as the year of Millets in India and 2023 has now been declared the 'International Year of Millets' by United Nations. To provide a relevant forum for Industry in India, NuernbergMesse India will be presenting the premier edition of 'MILLETS INDIA'. The expo will have on display a wide range of Millet-based raw materials, products and services both Indian and international. It is supported by APEDA (Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority) and Indian Institute of Millets Research (IIMR) is the knowledge partner and will be held parallel to BIOFACH INDIA.

Sivakumar Venugopal, Group Director, NuernbergMesse India emphasized on the future dependency on Millets, "We are very excited to announce the launch of MILLETS INDIA. Millets have always been an integral part of Indian nutritional diet. The crop's capability to withstand harsh climate and its nutrient-packed properties makes it a superfood. The premier show of MILLETS INDIA will be followed by the International Year of Millets next year. This augurs well for the growth of this sector and the event."
