The Fresh India Show (FIS) 2026 will be held on 29–30 May 2026 at the CIDCO Exhibition & Convention Centre, Navi Mumbai, marking the 8th edition of India’s premier international platform for the fresh fruits, vegetables and cold-chain industry. The event will bring together global stakeholders for two days of focused business networking, industry insights and collaboration.

Building on the strong momentum of its earlier editions, Fresh India Show 2026 is expected to bring together the entire fresh produce value chain under one roof. Producers, exporters, importers, retailers, cold-chain solution providers, agri-technology companies, investors and policymakers from India and across the world will converge to exchange ideas, forge partnerships and explore emerging opportunities in one of the world’s fastest-growing produce markets.

The event continues to strengthen its reputation through a dynamic mix of international exhibitions, thought-leading conference sessions, curated B2B meetings and prestigious industry awards. Its credibility is further reinforced by the support of leading institutions such as APEDA, the National Horticulture Board, the Forum for Food Importers (FIFI), Sahyadri Farms, Global Agri System and the Indian Culinary Forum. Organisers expect participation from over 15,000 decision-makers globally, joining both in person and virtually.

The choice of Navi Mumbai as the host city adds strong strategic value. Located in India’s financial capital region, Mumbai is the country’s largest gateway for fresh produce imports and exports. Its proximity to the Vashi APMC Market, one of Asia’s biggest wholesale fruit and vegetable markets, combined with access to major ports, airports and a robust logistics network, makes it a natural hub for domestic and international trade. The surrounding horticulture-rich regions further enhance its relevance as a meeting point for the global fresh produce community.

India’s fresh produce sector itself is undergoing a remarkable transformation. Growing awareness of health, nutrition and lifestyle choices has led to a steady rise in fruit and vegetable consumption over the past decade. Today, India produces over 330 million tonnes of horticultural crops, placing it among the world’s largest producers. Exports have surged by more than 45 percent in the last five years, reaching an estimated USD 3.5–4.0 billion across more than 120 global markets. At the same time, imports of temperate and exotic fruits now exceed USD 1.5 billion annually, underscoring India’s expanding role as both a sourcing powerhouse and a high-potential consumption market. Supported by investments in modern farming practices, post-harvest management and cold-chain infrastructure, the sector continues to grow at a healthy 6–7 percent CAGR.

Reflecting these trends, the Fresh India Show 2026 conference programme will spotlight the themes shaping the future of fresh produce trade. Discussions will explore India’s dual role as an export-driven and import-hungry market, cutting-edge packaging innovations, the rising popularity of soft berries, opportunities in next-generation fruit beverages, and the increasing role of venture capital and micro-finance in scaling fresh produce businesses.

Complementing the conference, the exhibition will feature a diverse showcase of fresh, frozen and processed produce, cold-chain and logistics solutions, packaging technologies and agri-tech innovations. With structured networking and business meetings, FIS 2026 offers a powerful platform to build meaningful connections and unlock new growth avenues.

As India continues to emerge as a major force in global fresh produce trade, Fresh India Show 2026 is poised to play a defining role—shaping industry conversations, fostering international collaboration and opening doors to the future of fresh produce business.

Participation, sponsorship and exhibition opportunities for Fresh India Show 2026 are now open, inviting industry stakeholders to engage with a focused audience of domestic and international decision-makers.
