| Sectors covered | Ingredients and raw materials, finished branded products, contract manufacturing and private label, production equipment and services |
This is a place where sellers of ingredients hold meetings with the side that makes supplements and functional foods. The organizer lists the exhibitor categories as ingredients and raw materials, finished branded products, contract manufacturing and private label, and equipment and services. India also has operators that handle ayurvedic materials, so exhibits of botanical extracts are added to the mix.
The venue, the Jio World Convention Centre, is in the Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai, close to the airport.
For companies with functional ingredients, this is a place to pitch directly to Indian supplement manufacturers. The more an ingredient needs explaining, such as Japanese fermented ingredients or seaweed-derived ingredients, the more it is worth talking face to face.
On the regulatory side, nutraceuticals are one of the five categories for which FSSAI requires registration of foreign manufacturing facilities, alongside milk and milk products, meat and meat products (including poultry, seafood, and their processed forms), egg powder, and infant food (ReFoM). Whether the plant you ship to India from falls under this registration is something to check before you settle the terms of a deal.
India regulates functional claims, and wording that works in Japan does not necessarily pass there. Check the text on your packaging and explanatory materials with your local importer before you bring them in.
Whether you sell as an ingredient or as a finished product changes both who you meet and what documents you need. Deciding which one you will talk about before you leave makes buyer meetings move faster.
