We are holding this event for the first time in South India, and hence we must compliment the entire team for putting this show together. This event would catalyze and propagate the networking of all stakeholders for their mutual benefit. AFSTI would like all stakeholders at the event to connect with us and help make India a global hub for Food Ingredients, considering the changing geopolitical scenario in the background of the pandemic.

Highlighting the importance of Packaging, Mr. Chandrasekhar Rajagopalan, President, Indian Flexible Packaging and Folding Carton Manufacturers (IFCA) said, “We as an Association largely operate in North India and Mumbai, and it has been an eye-opening experience for us to come down South. As IFCA, we are a non-profit organization which was over five decades old when there was no organized packaging industry even existing. Our endeavour is to give a voice to this end-user industry, especially in areas like food packaging. We roughly represent about 82% of the Indian converters in value terms, and our Association with ProPack is very old, and we continue to look forward to associating with the organizers in their future shows as well.”
Alessandro Liberatori, Trade Commissioner, Italian Trade Agency said, " I would like to thank Informa Markets for the opportunity to be a part of this event and would also like to congratulate them for the commendable job done in bringing the event to this fruitful outcome. As the Trade Commissioner of the Embassy of Italy, and as a Governmental agency, it is one of our responsibilities to support businesses abroad, and packaging is an imperative part of every industry, be it necessities to luxury. The pandemic also brought out the importance of packaging and its consequence on health and hygiene. The Italian industry turned over more than the U.S. $8.2 billion in 2021 in packaging, with a high propensity to export. Also, over 50% of all packaging and wrapping machines in the world are either Italian or German. Hence our Trade Commission, in partnership with the Packaging Association, has organized a special Italian Pavilion with the top eight manufacturers of packaging in Italy. We thank the organizers for giving us this opportunity to showcase the best in Italian packaging to India.
Food remains an integral part of Indian culture; each country’s region has its unique cuisine. The COVID- 19 pandemic accelerated a significant shift in food habits, including consumer buying preferences, consumption patterns, and overall behaviour. Greater awareness of the possible health problems related to particular foods has led to the growth of demand for health and wellness products and ingredients.
These trends have created a vast spectrum of the use of ingredients. Alongside the exhibition, the expertly curated conference has been envisaged to bring forth innovations in the Food ingredients domain by brands, entrepreneurs, and manufacturers in the food industry with an opportunity to seek critical insights into the rapid expansion, challenges, and market snapshot of the ingredients sector.

Experience sharing by successful enterprises, Packaging regulations and Safety evaluation for food packaging materials, Trends in Active and smart food packaging, Sustainability in Packaging – Present Scenario & Way Forward Packaging Optimization – Tackling Functionality, Efficiency and Cost.
