Surge in Demand for Indian Food Exports Ahead of Diwali Celebrations

In anticipation of the Diwali festivities, India's food export sector is experiencing a notable surge in demand for both traditional and convenience food items. According to a recent survey by the Trade Promotion Council of India (TPCI), international buyers are increasingly interested in procuring popular Indian food products, particularly traditional sweets and savouries, which are in high demand during this festive season.

The TPCI report highlights that exports of cooked food items have already seen significant growth this year, reflecting a broader trend of rising interest in Indian cuisine globally. Traditional delicacies, which are often associated with cultural celebrations, are particularly sought after as consumers look to embrace the flavors of India during Diwali.
