India Explores Food and Beverage Export Opportunities at Singapore FHA Fair

The Trade Promotion Council of India (TPCI) highlighted significant export opportunities for India's food and beverage sector in Singapore, which imports 90% of its food needs valued at USD 16.2 billion. Despite strong bilateral ties and free trade agreements with Singapore and ASEAN, India's share in Singapore's food imports is only 2.6%, mainly in cereals. Over 100 Indian companies are participating in the Food and Hospitality Asia fair to showcase products like rice, spices, coffee, tea, and seafood, aiming to expand into under-penetrated categories.
