The 12th edition of the World Spice Congress, the world’s largest exclusive business platform for the sector, will begin here Feb 16.
The biennial event, jointly organised by Spices Board of India and All India Spice Exporter’s Forum, will bring together global thought leaders, grower representatives, policy defining bodies as well as leading players from the spice industry, food and beverages companies on one platform.
The congress will see participation of around 700 delegates from more than 40 countries.
This year’s theme is ‘Sustainability and Food Safety: Global Initiatives’.
“…The global spice industry will put heads together to define and set the right direction to secure a sustainable future for the industry, while also examining the industry’s ecological and social impact,” said Spices Board chairman A. Jayathilak.
Some of the dignitaries to participate include Daniele Giovannucci, president of the Committee of Sustainability Assessment, US, Tony Bruggink, director of The Sustainable Trade Initiative, the Netherlands, Maragaret A. Hamburg, commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration, among others.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
