Highlighting the critical role of India’s dairy sector, Dr. R.S. Sodhi, President of the Indian Dairy Association, states, “Dairy provides a livelihood to over 80 million rural households, primarily composed of landless and marginal farmers. Milk cooperative societies and village collection systems have not only fostered economic independence among farmers but also broken barriers of gender, caste, religion, and community. Women, who form the backbone of this sector, contribute significantly to its success. The dairy industry serves as a vital job provider, particularly for women, and plays a pivotal role in advancing women’s empowerment across the country.”
Amongst the gamut of products and solutions that will be a part of this vital trade show are Milk and Milk Products, Dairy Farming & Farm Equipment, Veterinary solutions, Processing and packaging equipment, Automation & Data processing, Ingredients and Additives, Cold chain management, distribution and logistics, Financial assistance institutions, high-precision labelling machines, Dairy Testing equipment, Packaging solutions that ensure durability, efficiency, and product appeal, innovative methods for preserving dairy product quality etc.
Says Ashwani Pande, CEO, VA Exhibitions Pvt Ltd, “Inter Dairy Expo – alongwith parallel events like seminar, B2B meetings, CEO Conclave, etc. - will enhance the understanding of industry trends and possible solutions to the challenges being faced by the Indian dairy industry. A dedicated Start-up Zone will provide an ideal platform for recent entrants providing solutions for manufacturing and brand building among potential investors and mentors.”
