India Seed Trade & Innovation Summit & Exhibition 2026

Aligned with the vision of Viksit Bharat @2047, which envisages a resilient, self-reliant, and globally competitive India, agriculture continues to remain a cornerstone of national development and global food security. Seeds, as the foundation of agricultural productivity, play a critical role in enhancing crop yields, strengthening climate resilience, and improving farmer livelihoods.

In this context, ASSOCHAM, in collaboration with ICRISAT, is organising the India Seed Trade & Innovation Summit & Exhibition 2026 as a premier platform to bring together policymakers, industry leaders, researchers, Agri-tech innovators, international organisations, and farmers to deliberate on the future of the seed ecosystem, trade opportunities, innovation, sustainability, and policy advancement.

India’s strong agricultural base, expanding scientific capabilities, and growing leadership in hybrid seeds, biotechnology, and Agri-innovation position the country as a significant global player in the seed sector. The summit will serve as a strategic platform to promote collaboration, address sectoral challenges, and strengthen India’s role in advancing sustainable and future-ready agriculture.

The summit is expected to witness:

• 80+ Exhibitors, 600+ Industry Stakeholders, and 250+ Farmers creating a dynamic platform for innovation showcase, business engagement, and sector-wide participation
• 35+ Distinguished Speakers and 4+ Thematic Sessions driving discussions across policy, innovation, trade, sustainability, and future-ready agriculture
• Participation from 15+ African Countries including Kenya, Nigeria, Ethiopia, South Africa, and others, along with 100+ FPOs & Farmer Representatives and field visits to promote global collaboration and exposure to advanced seed ecosystems
