The Summit was organized by the Plant Based Foods Industry Association (PBFIA) and Good Food Institute India (GFI India) as organizing partner, today at New Delhi by lighting the lamp. Dr Sudhanshu, Secretary - APEDA released the white position paper 'The Dawn of a Plant-Based Age - India to lead the way to world food security and nutrition' in the presence of Sanjay Sethi, Executive Director - PBFIA, Inoshi Sharma, Executive Director, Regulatory Compliance - FSSAI, Rachel Dreskin, CEO - Plant Based Foods Association, USA, Abhinav Singh, Head Food Processing & CIFTI –FICCI, Abhishek Sinha, Co-Founder & CEO GoodDot, and Ashu Phakey, Head (Frozen and Fresh Foods) - ITC.

The summit also saw participation from ITC India Pvt. Ltd, Unilever, Symrise, Symega, Buhler India, Mother Dairy, Epigamia, Kerry and Roquette.
Dr Sudhanshu, Secretary - APEDA said, 'We are all aware that the plant food business is on its way to reaching a significant degree of growth and emphasis, as seen in recent years both internationally and in India. Food is a customer's choice; it is up to the consumer to decide what he wants to eat. Though awareness is crucial, since it influences the consumer's decision, and its choice determines the market's demand. Whether it's a domestic or foreign market, the decision determines the market's demand.
Our country is fortunate to generate everything needed in the food processing and agriculture industries, including labor, raw materials, and expertise. We have a food surplus in all commodities, which is the country's strength. Because of our strength, we have been able to develop a presence in the worldwide market, which has resulted in a significant alteration in the home market. Because of the abundance of raw materials and personnel, there is a huge potential for investment prospects.'
Sanjay Sethi, Executive Director - PBFIA said, 'We appreciate the guidance and support from Shri Prahlad Singh Patel, and look forward to the opportunity to lead this critical task force to advance the role plant-based foods can play in India and on a global scale. We are extremely overwhelmed with the tremendous response and success of India’s first plant-based food summit organized by PBFIA along with MoFPI, APEDA and GFI. Everyone wants to invest into our plant-based food business in India because they see how quickly it is growing in importance and value in the national and worldwide markets. There is a link between sustainability, nation, health, humanity, and animal welfare in the sector. We've got a lot of support just by suggesting such an industry, which has the advantage of being a huge draw. Plant-based eating has brought us closer to everyone's heart and connects us to a larger audience bringing us huge hopes of immense success in promoting an emotion.
It is fitting for the white position paper 'The Dawn of a Plant-Based Age - India to lead the way to world food security and nutrition' launched at the first plant-based foods summit in India, where we took the first step in bringing this report to life by creating a network of organizations, food handlers, startups, scientists, and policymakers. Going forward, we will campaign for policy reforms to eliminate trade restrictions and unfair practices that restrict growth in the industry.'
The pivotal white position paper, sponsored and developed in partnership with PBFA, provides insights and an overview of the global plant-based foods market and potential opportunities, which will enable India to lead the way to global food security and nutrition. This PBFIA flagship publication aims to raise awareness among Indian policymakers about the need to support the nascent and expanding plant-based foods sector in India.
Backed by the support of Prahlad Singh Patel and the international community, PBFIA hopes to create a joint task force. United by the Ministry of Food Processing Industries, the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), and the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). To achieve crucial goals that will ensure India can capitalize on the exponential potential of the plant-based foods sector.
Key measures of the task force will be to strengthen attention on local manufacturing and export of value-added products. Support initiatives for regenerative agriculture to promote a sustainable food system and ease production via low-cost, efficient farming techniques. Assist startups on how to use government support and facilitate connections with investors. Establish attainable quality standards, and ascertain efforts to establish cold chain facilities and processing units.
As progress to expand the plant-based food sector in India grows, representatives from the PBFA and IPBFWG look forward to working alongside PBFIA, providing strategic support to bring about a sustainable future where plant-based foods are accessible to all.
The aim of this summit was to offer strategic opportunities to the players in the plant-based foods industry and facilitate a platform for networking that elicits conversations surrounding the market size, emerging technologies, existing concerns facing the industry, and contributions leaders in powerful positions can make. The summit facilitated the tasting of plant-based foods products during the conference time as well as in the afternoon Business-to-Business Meetings.
