India and the European Union: A New Strategic Corridor for Agri-Food Trade

The strengthening of trade relations between India and the European Union, including the prospect of a zero-tariff agreement on numerous products, is opening a new chapter in global agri-food trade and reshaping competitive dynamics.
With a population of over 1.4 billion, a rapidly growing middle class, and an evolving domestic market, India is emerging as one of the key growth hubs for the food industry in the coming decades.

Gradual trade liberalization offers significant opportunities for European companies to access a market with growing demand for quality products, innovation, and new consumption patterns. At the same time, companies must navigate regulatory complexity, cultural specificities, and the need for structured, long-term market entry strategies.

This conference will examine the implications of the India–EU trade framework, identify opportunities for agri-food companies, and explore strategies to operate successfully in one of the most dynamic and promising global markets, providing a strategic perspective on the future evolution of economic relations between the two regions.
