The Telangana government is organizing the first edition of ‘The Food Conclave 2023’ on April 28 and 29. The event aims to bring together the top 100 agri-food industry thought leaders to discuss key challenges and opportunities for the growth of the Indian agri-food sector in the current decade. The conclave will consist of five thematic tracks – Agriculture (green), Edible Oil (Yellow), Dairy (White), Meat and Poultry (Pink), and Aquaculture (Blue). It will feature 27-panel discussions, five roundtables, and more than 40 one-on-one meetings between government and industry leaders.
Minister KT Rama Rao unveiled the event poster and stated that Telangana has been a leading state in development across various sectors, including agri-food, for the past 8 years. He emphasized the need for a coordinated effort to capitalize on potential opportunities and overcome challenges in the current global situation. The government intends to create a platform for key stakeholders to come together and chart out a clear path through this event.
The conclave has identified knowledge partners such as the World Economic Forum-India, Indian Vegetable Oil Producers Association (IVPA), Indian Dairy Association, Heifer International, and Society of Aquaculture Professionals. These partners have identified key areas for discussion in each thematic track. The event is expected to be attended by prominent industry leaders and experts in the agri-food sector in India.
