The international food and beverage exhibition "ANUGA SELECT INDIA 2025" was held at the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Mumbai, Maharashtra, western India, from August 20-22, 2025. JETRO established a "Japan Street" promotional booth to support the local market expansion of Japanese food and beverage products. This exhibition holds important strategic significance in enhancing the presence of Japanese companies in the Indian food market and creating business matching opportunities.
Exhibition Scale and Significance The exhibition was co-hosted with "ANUGA FoodTech India," which focuses on food processing and packaging technologies, serving as an international business platform covering both products and technologies. This comprehensive approach enables Japanese companies to showcase not only their food products but also advanced processing technologies, positioning Japan as a comprehensive solution provider in India's rapidly growing food industry.
JETRO Strategic Support Framework JETRO's "Japan Street" booth served as a centralized platform for Japanese food and beverage companies to engage with Indian buyers, distributors, and industry professionals. The initiative demonstrates Japan's commitment to strengthening economic ties with India in the agricultural and food sectors, which are critical for both countries' economic development strategies.
Market Development Implications India's food market presents significant opportunities for Japanese companies, given the country's large population, growing middle class, and increasing demand for high-quality, healthy food products. The exhibition provides Japanese companies with crucial market intelligence and networking opportunities essential for successful market entry and expansion in India.
Economic and Policy Context This initiative aligns with Japan's broader economic diplomacy strategy in the Indo-Pacific region and supports the development of robust supply chains between Japan and India. The food sector cooperation represents a key component of bilateral economic relations, contributing to food security and technological advancement in both countries.
