The *Knowledge Sessions & Workshops* will be anchored around themes critical to the southern ecosystem, including port-led export development, marine processing value chains, millet mainstreaming, GI-tagged products, and sustainable food processing practices. Deliberations will also focus on leveraging the region’s strong MSME base, enhancing farmer-producer linkages, and integrating technology across processing and logistics. These sessions will provide practical insights tailored to the operational realities and growth potential of southern India.
