Press Release
10-Sep-2020
ANUTEC - International FoodTec India colocated with PackEx India, Food Logistics India, Annapoorna - ANUFOOD India and ANUTEC - Ingredients India has been postponed to 3-5 February 2021.
This comes in effect due to the rise of COVID-19 cases worldwide and overwhelming concerns in India. The Trade fair is rescheduled for February 2021 at the same venue i.e. Bombay Exhibition Centre, Goregaon, Mumbai.
The different lock-down regulations across India, domestic and international travel restrictions imposed by state and centre level Governments, and Bombay Exhibition Centre (Venue for this trade fair) currently being used a temporary quarantine facility make it challenging to organise, exhibit and visit the ANUTEC-International FoodTec India and co-located trade fairs on the scheduled dates 23.-25.09.2020 respectively 26.-28.11.2020.
Exhibitors, visitors and partners from the food industry have reiterated their concerns for the health, travel and safety of their employees for coming together on such large-scale platforms. Given these concerns, the management team at Koelnmesse India has reassessed the current situation and set the new date in consultation with the venue and the industry i.e. 3-5 February 2021.
Over 1,000 exhibitors, including around 200 from overseas countries, are expected to attend the ANUTEC - International FoodTec India and co-located trade fairs, India’s leading innovation and business platform for the food industry that is held every two years and Annapoorna - ANUFOOD India every year in Mumbai.
