The event will feature four focused business sessions addressing critical issues facing the spice industry. Key topics include “Ensuring Sustainable Supply Chain through Quality Assurance and Regulations,” “Role of Sustainability in Building a Food Safe and Resilient Supply Chain,” “Best Agricultural Practices and New Technologies,” and “Introduction to FPOs and FPO Sharing Experiences and Latest Industry Trends.” An exclusive Farmer-Buyer Interface session on the second day will offer Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) a unique opportunity to connect directly with processors and buyers, fostering enhanced market access and strengthened trade relationships.

Ramkumar Menon, Chairman of WSO, highlighted the strategic importance of the conference, noting, “The Indian spice industry is at a crucial juncture, where sustainability, food safety, and quality are becoming central to maintaining a competitive edge in global markets. Through NSC 2024, we aim to empower FPOs and other stakeholders with the knowledge, tools, and connections needed to build a resilient and sustainable spice supply chain. With new regulatory demands and consumer expectations, it is critical for the spice industry to adopt practices that ensure both quality and sustainability.”

The NSC 2024 is expected to serve as a platform for knowledge-sharing, networking, and collaborative innovation, underscoring the importance of sustainable practices within the spice industry to address evolving global market demands.
