Organised by , this is the 19th edition of Anuga Select India and 20th edition of Anuga FoodTec India. From agrifoods, dairy and organic products to processing, packaging and automation tech - the show covers the entire food value chain.

The big focus this year is the India-EU Free Trade Agreement.

The EU is the Official Partner Region for the 2026 edition, while India's Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI) has extended support.

Germany's Vice Minister Martina Englhardt-Kopf said, "The India-EU FTA is an economically significant milestone, creating a market of around two billion people." She said it will liberalise 99.3% of EU trade and 96.6% of India's trade value, opening doors for German processed foods in India and Indian products like tea, coffee, spices and fishery products in Europe.

Netherlands State Secretary Silvio Erkens highlighted the long-standing Indo-Dutch partnership in agriculture, while EU Trade Head Petros Sourmelis said the FTA is likely to be signed by end-2026.

Joint Secretary, MoFPI, Devesh Deval said India's food market is worth $550-600 billion and growing at 6-7% CAGR. "Food processing is the second-highest employment creator in manufacturing," he said, adding that the government is setting up a Centre of Excellence on pea protein at NIFTEM, Kundli.

For Indian and global companies, the message is clear: a $689 billion food sector is opening up for export, investment and technology partnerships.

મળો વડોદરાની All-Rounder જીલ ત્રિવેદીને  Posted by Niilesh waghela વડોદરાની અંબે CBSE સ્કૂલને,  જીલ આશિષ ત્રિવેદી નામે એક નવો સિતારો મળ્યો છે, જેણે SSC CBSE બોર્ડની પરીક્ષામાં (બેસ્ટ ઓફ ફાઈવ) 95% મેળવીને શાનદાર સિદ્ધિ હાંસલ કરી છે! પણ આ રાતોરાત જાગીને વાંચવાની કે કોઈ જાદુની વાર્તા નથી. જીલનો મંત્ર છે  મહેનત અને સાતત્ય.   જીલ સફળતા વિષે વાત કરતા કહે છે, મેં ક્યારેય કામ ભેગું થવા દીધું નથી. રોજનું કામ રોજ પૂરું કરવું, નિયમિત રીતે પોતાની કસોટી કરવી અને સમયનું યોગ્ય વ્યવસ્થાપન – આ જ મારી રણનીતિ હતી. તે દૃઢપણે માને છે કે શિસ્તબદ્ધ અને કેન્દ્રિત રૂટિન જ કોઈપણ શૈક્ષણિક લક્ષ્ય માટેનો સાચો શોર્ટકટ છે. એવા દિવસો પણ આવ્યા જ્યારે સ્કૂલ અને ડાન્સ ક્લાસ પછી થાક લાગતો, પણ તો પણ તે એક કલાક માટે પુસ્તકો લઈને બેસતી. રોજ હાજર રહેવાની આ આદતે પરીક્ષા દરમિયાન અભ્યાસક્રમ હળવો લાગ્યો. તેનો દૈનિક રૂટિન સરળ પણ અચૂક હતો. સવારની શરૂઆત સ્કૂલે જતા પહેલાં ઝડપી રિવિઝનથી થતી, સાંજ કોચિંગ અને સ્વ-અધ્યયન વચ્ચે વહેંચાયેલી રહેતી, અને વીકેન્ડ મોક ટેસ્ટ અને ભરતનાટ્યમના રિયાઝ માટે હતા. અભ્યાસ વખતે તેણ...

Young Achiever Jhil Trivedi Scores Stellar 95% in CBSE  Boards! Posted by Niilesh waghela  Mumbai: Vadodara’s Ambe CBSE School has a new star – Jhil Ashish Trivedi, Class X, who just scored a brilliant 95% in the SSC CBSE Board Examination (best of five)!  But this isn’t a story of last-minute all-nighters or magic tricks. For Jhil, the real topper was _consistency_.   “I never let work pile up. Finishing tasks daily, testing myself regularly, and managing time well – that was my strategy,” she shares. She’s a firm believer that a disciplined, focused routine is the real shortcut to any academic goal. There were days she felt tired after school and dance class, but she still sat with her books, even if just for an hour. That habit of showing up daily made the syllabus feel lighter during exams. Her daily routine was simple but non-negotiable. Mornings began with a quick revision before school, evenings were split between coaching and self-study, and weekends wer...
