After hiatus of 3 years, it is a welcome news for the entire dairy industry that India International Dairy Expo (IIDE) is making a stronger comeback with encouraging response from the dairy fraternity. Lots of dairy technology changes are observed and more are anticipated post-pandemic as the situation is coming to normalcy.

Indian Dairy Association (IDA) West Zone is associated with IIDE and will be hosting a technical seminar on the theme “Ideate. Innovate. Succeed”. The agenda will include topics like - New Technologies & Innovations in Dairy, Blockchain Technology & Drones for Dairy Industry, and Offerings by Dairy Research Institutes and Industry Requirements. The dairy industry is eager to witness this special edition and looking forward to solutions. IIDE offers an ideal business platform to dairy industry solution providers for networking and displaying services and solutions first-hand in a LIVE environment alongside key dairy manufacturing and farming decision-makers.

At IIDE 2022, network with senior professionals and generate unlimited business opportunities in a safe business environment. Connect with the right buyers and learn key industry trends while staying ahead of your competition.

Consumers are increasingly concerned about the quality, safety, and hygiene of food products, including dairy. This is expected to boost the growth of the value-added dairy segment within India’s organized dairy market. There is a growing change in preference from loose products to packaged products.

Categories like liquid milk, curd, paneer, and sweets have experienced this trend, mainly benefiting the organized sector. Companies with a strong retail penetration have realized immediate benefits. However, companies with a commodity and business-to-business focus will desperately push toward consumer-focused in the coming years.

As one of the world’s largest-volume dairy markets, India is fertile ground for international brands. Product innovations are likely to help the acceleration of India’s formal dairy market. This, in turn, should bring about favorable government policies and promote industry consolidation. Specialist agricultural bank Rabobank believes the time has come for global players to start investigating the market's potential.
