The expo will be co-located with the newly launched ProPak India, catering to India?s ever growing processing and packaging industries. Fi India & Hi offers the industry an opportunity to source high quality ingredients, network with industry professionals, learn the latest industry trends & innovations, and expand market share. The Fi India & Hi Expo now annually rotates between India?s two unique, promising food hubs i.e Mumbai and Delhi-NCR.

The expo is well-supported by the Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MOFPI), All India Food Processors' Association (AIFPA), Health Foods and Dietary Supplements Association (HADSA), Association of Food Scientists & Technologists, India (AFSTI) and The Society Of Indian Baker (SIB).

Speaking on the announcement of Fi India & Hi 2018, Mr. Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director, UBM India said, ?The Food Ingredients Industry in India is on a high with the Indian F&B retail market expected to reach $ 915 billion by 2020 and India?s food processing industry currently ranking 5th in world in terms of exports, production and consumption. In fact, it is estimated that the sector could attract up to $ 33 billion of investment over the next 10 years. And yet, disparities remain in terms of huge wastage of food products, due to gaps in awareness technology, and infrastructure. An integrated platform like Fi India & Hi aims to fill these gaps with a host of innovative and informative features that will help professionals stay ahead of the learning curve --including from the Pre-Connect Congress, focusing on Nutritional Science & Functional Food and on the newly implemented FSSAI regulations that will affect the industry manufacturers, and the Live Quality Labs onsite, among others.?

He added, ?With the co-location of the ProPak India Expo, which caters significantly to food packaging and processing, industry players at the show will obtain complete solutions pertaining to food ingredients, processing, technology and packaging all under one giant umbrella.?

The seminars will be organised in alliance with a variety of Indian associations and will cover both technical developments and market trends. Additionally, the live demonstrations will give the audience a better experience, newer ideas and useful tips on the actual applications of the food products used.

Day 1 will feature sessions on ?Technologies available for commercialisation in Indian Institutes?; ?Healthy living and authenticity: the novel concept in foods in India?; ?Innovative policies for Indian Food Processing Sector? and ?Advantages of Encapsulation Technologies in Foods and Beverages? and a Bakery Workshop that will throw light on ?Varieties of Bread? and ?Cookie Improver?.
