India's grain economy is one of the world's most deeply integrated agri-industrial systems—linking farmers, aggregators, millers, processors, exporters, ingredient suppliers, logistics providers and technology innovators across a vast value chain. As the world's fastest-growing major economy, with GDP growth exceeding 7.8%, India offers a powerful domestic consumption base, rising export demand and sustained investment momentum across food and agri-processing.

Agriculture contributes nearly 15% to national GDP, with India ranking among the world's leading producers of rice, wheat, pulses, millets, maize, soybeans and oilseeds. This scale of production feeds one of the largest grain and milling industries globally, processing over 200 million tonnes of grains annually and employing more than 400,000 professionals across the country.

India's milling and grain-processing sector is both expansive and opportunity-rich—comprising traditional mills alongside rapidly modernising facilities. The ecosystem includes:

10,000+ rice mills
5,000+ flour mills and chakki plants
2,000+ pulse mills
2,000+ spice grinding units
2,000+ oilseed crushing plants
1,000+ feed mills
200+ soybean processing units
1,000+ coffee processing units

Collectively, these enterprises are actively seeking advanced solutions in cleaning, grading, milling, fortification, storage, automation, packaging and quality control.

Against this strong industry backdrop, Media Today Group proudly presents the 16th Edition of GrainTech India 2026—India's largest and most influential technology exhibition. The Event serves as a comprehensive business platform connecting the entire agri-food value chain—from raw material handling to finished food solutions—enabling technology transfer, investment dialogue and global partnerships.

Gujarat: The Right Choice for GrainTech India 2026

Hosting GrainTech India 2026 in Gandhinagar, Gujarat places the event at the strategic core of India's grain, pulse, spice and oilseed economy. Gujarat stands out as one of the country's most progressive agri-processing states, combining scale of production with export orientation, policy support and advanced infrastructure.

The state is a leading producer of groundnut, sesame, castor and cumin, while witnessing rapid growth in pulses, maize, millets and coarse cereals—segments that are increasingly driving demand for modern post-harvest management, precision milling, storage solutions and value-added processing technologies. Gujarat's strong port connectivity and trade linkages with the Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia further amplify the need for international-standard sorting, grading, traceability and quality systems.

With hundreds of rice and flour mills, thousands of food-processing units, a large MSME base, and a fast-growing agritech and foodtech startup ecosystem, Gujarat offers exhibitors and buyers an unmatched industrial marketplace. Excellent road, rail, air and port connectivity, combined with a balanced domestic and export-driven demand structure, makes Gujarat not just a host destination—but a live, scalable business environment for GrainTech participants.

Conference & Knowledge Exchange

Complementing the exhibition, the International Conference on Innovations in Grains, Cereals, Pulses & Oilseed Milling Industry will convene policymakers, global technology providers, processors, exporters and industry leaders. The conference will focus on next-generation milling, post-harvest efficiency, fortification, sustainability, automation, and digitalisation, offering global insights and practical pathways for future-ready grain businesses.

We look forward to welcoming the world's grain industry to Gandhinagar—where innovation, technology and opportunity converge at the 16th GrainTech India 2026.
