This year, the program shall be organised on a virtual platform from October 12-15, 2020 (Mon-Thus.).   

The motivation for the programme arises from the fact that in an interdependent world, effective leadership and genuine commitment is imperative to encourage constructive policy debates, evolve a collaborative approach for achieving the vision of an abundant, ecologically balanced and prosperous world for our future generations. This FICCI initiative is also driven by the need to reaffirm economic solidarity across borders, with optimism for the future in these uncertain times.   

FICCI LEADS is an endeavour to evolve a shared vision among global leaders, to reimagine economic growth founded on the pillars of open regionalism, self-reliance, economic resilience and multilateralism. Global business and political leaders are being invited to share their views on 21st century challenges and take a fresh look at global business value chains.   

The idea of LEADS:  

L - Leadership for global prosperity in the backdrop of disruption  

E - Excellence in everything we do    

A - Adaptability to these VUCA times   

D - Diversity for inclusive growth fabric   

S - Sustainability as a given for economic growth   

FICCI LEADS 2020 will be a confluence of global leaders, influencers and opinion shapers across the world. It will facilitate round clock engagement taking into account time zone differences with East Asia, Central Asia, South Asia, ASEAN & Oceania, Europe, Africa, West Asia, Americas and the Pacific. The virtual event this year will be hosted and managed on a FICCI exclusive platform, specially designed, developed and created with all privacy and data security features.   

We request you to save the date in your schedule. The Regional Session focusing on Oceania  would be of particular interest for you as it would focus on sectors which have immense potential for collaboration between India and the region.  The Session will focus on how combining Oceania’s significant expertise in renewable energy with India’s manufacturing capacity will help in creating energy collaborations between the two regions.

14^th edition of Agro & Food Tech, 16 - 22 October 2020 via virtual platform – HIVE

The reforms targeted towards ‘one nation-one market’ as well as on farm infrastructure development will create a conducive ecosystem for the growth of agriculture and food sector.  

Focus on agriculture is a must, given that the sector is the mainstay of Indian economy and supports majority of population in terms of their livelihood. With efficient marketing connect as well as value addition at the right stage, the sector can grow manifold, reduce post-harvest wastages and increase farmers’ income substantially.  

Hon’ble Prime Minister’s call for Aatma-Nirbhar Bharat is a progressive concept where India not only can become self-reliant but can also play an enhanced role in the global supply chain. The fact that Agriculture is one of the few sectors that have shown resilience during the COVID19 pandemic resonates the potential the sector has in supporting rural livelihoods. The pandemic has also helped identify new opportunities for India as a global supplier of food in the medium to long term.  

With this background, Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) is organising 14^th edition of Agro & Food Tech, which will be India’s first international food & agri week from 16 - 22 October 2020 via virtual platform – HIVE.   

I have the privilege of leading this initiative as its Event Chairman. 

Agro & Food Tech will have Country Week, Roundtable of International Agri Ministers, concurrent exhibition shows, B2B & B2G meetings, Thematic International Conferences, Hackathon and Training Sessions.  This event is strategically structured to provide its participants a new and enhanced business opportunity by way of interacting not only with the International, Domestic participants and buyers but also with senior government officials and would provide: 

A.    Showcasing Platform
  virtual display on the new tools, technology, processes, research in the field of Agriculture & Food sector 

B.     Interacting Platform
   to engage with the Indian federal & state policy makers 

C.     Partnership Platform
   with Indian Government and private sector firms 

D.    Knowledge Dissemination Platform
  to share best practices 

The key verticals of this week would be Agriculture, Food Processing, Horticulture, Dairy, Fisheries, Poultry, Sericulture, Floriculture, Agri Finance, Farm Machinery, Implements, Water, Sugar, New Technologies and Start-ups, State & International Pavilion.  

In this context, I am writing to you with following special requests:

1.    To kindly block your diary to join us as our esteemed Guest at CII Agro & Food Tech from 16 – 22 October 2020. 

2.    To consider dissemination of the event amongst concerned stakeholders (industry, government agencies and ministries) encouraging them for their participation in the event.

CII Agro & Food Tech 2020 will provide tremendous opportunities to strengthen the bilateral agri trade relationship and help drive new engagements in this important sector of the economy.

For further coordination, your office may connect with Jasdeep Singh at either +91-9815309727 or jasdeep.singh@cii.in.

We sincerely hope you will be able to consider these requests favourably. 

Look forward to hearing from you.
