CII, in association with the Kerala Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (KINFRA), is organising a conference-cum-exhibition — Kerala Agricon — on February 24 and 25 at Palakkad.
The conference will focus on Vision 2020 for the agriculture and food processing sector in Kerala and discuss topics such as best practices in agriculture and food processing; emerging business opportunities; value addition; export markets; forward and backward linkages for the agriculture and food processing industries and financial support for setting up of units.
The exhibition will showcase Kerala's competence in the agriculture and food processing sector. The objective is to facilitate information sharing on business opportunities and establish linkages with buyers, sellers and exporters. CII expects more than 300 delegates for the conference and above 5,000 visitors to the exhibition.
A press statement issued here said Kerala's share in the country's total food products export is almost 20 per cent and food products constitute almost two-thirds of its entire export basket.
