Previously the Maize & Millet Summit.
Two editions in. Now bigger, sharper, unmissable.
Two successful editions have already brought together India's maize and millet value chain — traders, processors, feed and starch buyers, ethanol producers, financiers and policy voices. In 2026 the summit expands with a laser focus on the country's most strategic crop: maize. More stages. More exhibitors. A dedicated awards night. The same trusted convenor.

Why Attend
Two days that pay for themselves the first time you buy or sell maize.
You don't come for a conference. You come home with six things your business needs this year:
A price view you can act on
Hear where maize prices are heading from the desks that move them — and leave with conviction instead of guesswork.
Your procurement plan, stress-tested
Plan buying and hedge input risk around real numbers for ethanol, feed and starch demand — before the market moves against you.
The ethanol & import math, decoded
Understand exactly what E20→E30 and the import window mean for your costs over the next three seasons.
Counterparties who sign, not just talk
15 dedicated B2B meeting rooms and a 40-stall expo floor. Walk out with names in your phone and terms on the table.
A benchmark against the best
See how the leading processors, traders and feed millers are positioning — and measure your plan against theirs.
Recognition where it counts
The Maize Markets Awards put your work in front of the exact audience whose opinion moves your business.

Why Now
India needs 72 million tonnes of maize by 2030-31. It grows barely half of that.
Three industries now compete for the same cob — and India has flipped from maize exporter to net importer. If your P&L touches maize, this gap decides your costs, your margins and your next three seasons. The people navigating it meet in Mumbai this September.
12.5 Mt
Ethanol
India's #1 ethanol feedstock. E27/E30 could pull 20–25 Mt into fuel.
54%
Feed
The largest user — poultry heaviest. Demand that cannot pause.
7 Mt/yr
Starch
Sweeteners, pharma & packaged food — compounding every year.
Demand vs supply, Mt (2025–31)
The widening gap between the lines is the market you attend this summit to win.
Who You'll Meet
500+ decision-makers. One hall. Two days.
Every conversation here is with someone who can buy, sell, finance or approve. No panel tourists. The entire maize value chain — traders, procurement heads, ethanol producers, processors, exporters, seed leaders, financiers and policy voices — under one roof.

Procurement heads — poultry, dairy, aqua feed
Starch, glucose & processing majors
Ethanol producers & OMC buyers
Exporters, importers & merchandisers
