These belonged to edible oil,  packaging, F&B, dairy,  snacks & flexi packaging  technology.

Government mandated safety protocols and SOPs for organizing B2B trade expositions issued by the World Health Organization (WHO) were followed in the edition to ensure the safety and health of the visitors.
