Exotic fruits, vegetables and floricultural products from various regions of India were launched on a digital platform as Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) organized a virtual trade fair from May 27 - 29, 2021. 

The three-day virtual trade fair showcased not only the strengths of various agricultural products but also provided a connection platform for Indian exporters and foreign importers to explore mutual business opportunities. 

Aided by innovative design and immersive infrastructure, exporters and importers, meetings were held seamlessly through audio and video conferencing, featuring brief demo workshops, product launches, live streams and webinars. 

More than 470 exhibitors used the virtual platform to display their products and connect with visitors from India, Singapore, the United States, Australia, United Kingdom, Nigeria, Bahrain, Israel, Suriname, Afghanistan, Japan, Iceland, Maldives and Brunei. 

With the first wave and the second wave of coronavirus outbreaks, visitors and exhibitors are finding it extremely difficult to travel within and outside India for in-person events. However, to sustain the momentum and keep industry stakeholders connected until the virus is brought under control APEDA has initiated the virtual trade fair.
