India Outbound Trade Mission 2017

Why India?

As part of the BRICS, India is experiencing a period of growth and expansion. As a result, we are beginning to see changes in their food market. For example, imports of consumer oriented food products have doubled since 2009, reaching a total of $3.89 billion USD. Aside from economic changes, India is experiencing a food purchasing renovation led by its urban, upper-middle class. These types of consumers are receptive to the introduction of foreign cuisines.

This outbound trade mission will visit Mumbai and New Delhi; the two commercial and financial capitals of India. This activity coincides with the most opportune time window to introduce new products into the Indian food market as the sale of high value food items peaks during this period.

Fee Includes:

• Reimbursement of hotel within the Federal per diem rate for one company representative within the approved mission dates;
• Interpreter services as needed;
• In-country transportation to meeting locations;
• Shipping of up to 100lbs of product samples* through SUSTA's designated freight forwarder. 
• *frozen/chilled shipments to be handled on a case by case basis.
