Excellent! With Russia, Japan, UAE and other countries participating, this will boost our food exports. Our mangoes, basmati rice, and spices deserve global markets. Hope the event leads to real business deals.

The sustainability focus is much needed. Hope they address food waste reduction and promote organic farming practices. India can lead the way in eco-friendly food processing.

While the event looks impressive, I hope the benefits reach our actual farmers and not just big corporations. Small farmers need better prices and technology access. The rural economy focus is promising though.

Hope they discuss nutrition and wellness properly. With rising lifestyle diseases, we need to promote our traditional healthy foods like millets, sprouts, and ayurvedic principles in modern packaging.
