New Delhi, 5 March 2025: As Australia and India continue to strengthen their trade ties under the Australia-India Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (AI-ECTA), the demand for premium Australian agrifood products in India is rapidly increasing. The Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) in partnership with the state governments of Queensland and New South Wales is bringing together 11 Australian brands to display their products at the Australian Pavilion located at Hall No.1, Stand No.1G-02A in Aahar 2025.
Aahar 2025 serves as a significant platform for Australian food and beverage companies to showcase their world-class quality, innovation, and sustainability. With a strong reputation for high food safety standards, advanced production techniques, and environmentally sustainable practices, the exhibition will provide an opportunity for Indian buyers, retailers, and food service professionals to explore the superior taste, nutrition and versatility of Australian produce, reinforcing the growing trade opportunities between the two nations.
The Australian Pavilion at Aahar 2025 will highlight a diverse portfolio of Australian brands across categories like packaged food, nutritional supplements, and gourmet ingredients to world-renowned meats and seafood.
Over 85% of Australian goods exports by value to India are now tariff-free after the AI-ECTA entered into force on 29 December 2022. Australian businesses have a wonderful opportunity to expand their footprint in India’s dynamic market and Aahar is a step towards this – as well as a step toward the provision of further inputs into India’s food processing industry.
Speaking about Australia’s participation at Aahar 2025, Mr John Southwell, Senior Trade and Investment Commissioner – South Asia, Australian Trade and Investment Commission said, “India and Australia share a deep and growing trade relationship, strengthened further by AI-ECTA. Through the implementation of AI-ECTA, Australia’s agrifood exports to India have grown by 59%, with increasing demand for almonds, lambs and seafood. This is a great opportunity for Australian businesses to access to India’s growing market and showcase their capabilities.
We are excited to showcase Australia’s finest food products at Aahar 2025 and look forward to building partnerships with Indian importers, retailers, and food service professionals. If you seek premium, great-tasting products, visit us at the Australian Pavilion at Aahar 2025.”
