GrainTech India 2024, one of the largest exhibitions in the grain milling, processing, storage, and allied industries, showcased cutting-edge innovations and global trends to revolutionize the grain sector. Held in Bangalore, this premier event attracted participants from across the world, including technology providers, grain producers, policymakers, and industry leaders, all aiming to address challenges and opportunities in the evolving global grain market.
The event spotlighted advancements in automation, smart milling technologies, post-harvest management, and sustainable storage solutions. Key innovations included AI-powered grain sorting systems, IoT-enabled silos, and eco-friendly packaging, which are set to transform the efficiency and quality of grain production. Exhibitors also introduced climate-resilient technologies that help reduce spoilage and adapt to changing weather patterns, a significant concern for farmers and food processors.
A major focus of GrainTech India 2024 was on value addition in the grain industry, such as processing grains into ready-to-eat products, specialty flours, and nutritious snacks. The growing demand for millets and pulses featured prominently, aligning with India’s push for millet production as part of the International Year of Millets. Global trends, including gluten-free products, protein-enriched grains, and organic food processing, highlighted consumer-driven shifts toward healthier, sustainable dietary choices.
The event also hosted interactive sessions and workshops on topics like supply chain optimization, food safety regulations, and export opportunities. It brought together stakeholders to address challenges such as grain storage losses, ensuring quality standards, and improving farmers’ profitability. With Tamil Nadu and other Indian states investing heavily in modernizing their grain policies and infrastructure, GrainTech India 2024 served as a key platform for fostering innovation, knowledge exchange, and global partnerships.
The exhibition emphasized how integrating technology, sustainability, and market-driven strategies can empower India’s agricultural sector, ensuring food security and positioning the country as a global leader in grain production and processing.
