The food processing industry in India, with a growth of 13% per annum, emerged as one of the most lucrative industries for Kiwi investment in India, in the ‘Business Beyond Barriers’ seminar held by INZBC. This came as part of Dr. Devi Singh’s submission to the audience of industrialists and international business experts at the seminar held at PwC towers on 3rd Feb.
Clayton Kimpton, Regional Director – India Africa & Middle East for New Zealand Trade & Enterprise (NZTE) and Dr. Singh, were speaking at the first part of this series held on Monday, at the PWC towers, Auckland. Their focus was on removing the myths of international business and talking about the hidden opportunities in trade with India.
Dr. Devi Singh is the Director of India’s premier management institute, Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Lucknow.
Dr. Singh reiterated that India has high volumes of production in food, livestock and dairy. However the gap is in the lack of infrastructure in food processing, storage and transportation. Due to which a big proportion of products are lost before it can be bought by the consumer. This area is of great value proposition to the Kiwi companies looking for opportunities to expand in India.
Clayton Kimpton, cautioned New Zealand companies that India was a market for the long term and not for gains in the short term.
Keeping in with their aim of building business relations between India and New Zealand, the India New Zealand Business Council (INZBC) has started a series of lectures, in that direction.
“The main purpose of this event is to get the industry moving from both sides of the world”, said Sunil Kaushal, Chairman, INZBC. He said that the organisation is planning more events like these that will help introduce the kiwi businesses with the opportunities and challenges of doing business with India.
