The Canadian Food Exporters Association (CFEA) in collaboration with The High Commission of Canada in New Delhi would like to invite you to join us for our upcoming virtual webinar on “India’s Expanding F&B Market: Pathways for Canadian Companies” scheduled on 1^st October next month from 10:30-11:30 AM ET (8:00-9:00 PM India time).

India’s gourmet food retail is evolving fast, driven by rising incomes, global tastes, and health-conscious urban consumers. Premium supermarkets and curated neighborhood stores now showcase artisanal, organic, and specialty imports, while shoppers blend in-store experiences with seamless online ordering. The biggest disruptor is quick commerce—apps promising 10–30 minute delivery and are reshaping grocery supply chains. For Canadian food and beverage brands, this means strong opportunities for premium products, with quick commerce offering a rapid route to market, valuable consumer data, and instant brand visibility.

We have invited Indian industry leaders for this interactive webinar to provide Canadian Agfood companies with a complete overview of the changing landscape and opportunities in the growing food and beverage sector in India. Information will be provided on market dynamics, trends and opportunities, as well as market entry models.
