The Pesticides Manufacturers & Formulators Association of India (PMFAI) has announced that the upcoming International Crop Science Conference & Exhibition (ICSCE) Buyer-Seller Meet will be tentatively held on June 10-11, 2025, in New Delhi. This event, known as India’s largest agricultural inputs trade show, has been bringing together industry leaders since 1997. It serves as a crucial meeting point for businesses engaged in agrochemicals, agricultural technology, mechanization, artificial intelligence, drone technology, and more.
India’s Role in the Global Agrochemical Industry
India stands as the fourth-largest agrochemical manufacturer in the world, following the United States, China, and Japan. The country has positioned itself as a key player in the global crop protection chemical sector, offering a competitive and reliable alternative in the market. With a strong manufacturing base and a focus on exports, India supplies approximately 60% of the active agrochemical ingredients it produces to international markets.
The industry has seen remarkable growth, particularly in the export of generic agrochemicals and contract manufacturing. In addition to conventional pesticides, Indian companies have begun expanding into ag-biological products, adding another dimension to the agricultural input sector. This makes events like ICSCE an important venue for fostering international trade and collaborations.
A Platform for Stakeholders Across the Agri-Input Sector
The ICSCE Buyer-Seller Meet is expected to attract a wide range of participants, including manufacturers, formulators, importers, exporters, supply chain experts, R&D professionals, and technologists. Representatives from agricultural technology startups, AI and drone technology firms, and packaging and machinery industries will also be in attendance, making this a comprehensive event for all aspects of the agricultural input ecosystem.
This gathering provides an opportunity for businesses to explore partnerships, discuss procurement strategies, and discover the latest innovations shaping the future of agriculture. The event also features a plenary session, where experts from various fields will share insights on emerging trends and industry drivers.
Opportunities for Networking and Business Expansion
One of the key attractions of the ICSCE Buyer-Seller Meet is the networking opportunity it provides for businesses looking to expand their market presence. Manufacturers and contract manufacturers can connect with potential buyers and distributors, while stakeholders in allied industries, such as packaging and supply chain management, can engage with leading firms in the agro-inputs space.
For Indian agrochemical producers, this event offers a gateway to strengthen their presence in global markets. As demand for quality agricultural inputs continues to grow, India’s expertise in producing cost-effective and high-quality products places it in a strategic position to meet international requirements.
ICSCE 2025 – Knowledge Sharing Through Plenary Sessions
Beyond business discussions, the event will also feature plenary sessions designed to facilitate knowledge sharing among industry experts. These sessions will cover a range of topics, including advancements in agro-input technologies, regulatory updates, sustainable farming solutions, and emerging global market trends. Participants will gain valuable insights into industry dynamics, helping them stay ahead in an evolving agricultural landscape.
As the global agricultural sector faces new challenges and opportunities, the ICSCE Buyer-Seller Meet remains a vital platform for industry collaboration. With a focus on fostering trade, technological advancements, and sustainable solutions, the event promises to be a key milestone for stakeholders in the agricultural input industry.
Participants can look forward to meaningful interactions, valuable business discussions, and expert-led sessions that will help shape the future of agriculture. As preparations for the June 2025 event take shape, the ICSCE Buyer-Seller Meet is set to once again bring together industry leaders, paving the way for new opportunities in the agro-inputs sector.
