Historic First for India at Fieldays 2026!
India marked a significant milestone with its inaugural participation at Fieldays 2026, the largest agricultural exhibition in the Southern Hemisphere.
The Incredible India Pavilion received more than 1,000 visitors on the opening day, reflecting strong interest in the growing India–New Zealand partnership and the vast opportunities emerging from enhanced economic engagement between our two countries.
The pavilion showcased India’s economic transformation, opportunities for New Zealand businesses seeking entry into the Indian market, and the potential benefits for both Indian and New Zealand products arising from the recently concluded Free Trade Agreement (FTA). Interactive touchscreen kiosks provided visitors with insights into trade, investment, innovation, and sector-specific opportunities across India.
The pavilion was formally inaugurated by Hon. Todd McClay, Hon. Louise Upston, Hon. Tama Potaka, Hon. Damien O’Connor, and H.E. Ms. Muanpuii Saiawi, High Commissioner of India to New Zealand, H.E. Dr. Madan Mohan Sethi, Consul General of India to Auckland underscoring the importance of strengthening bilateral cooperation in agriculture, trade, and investment.
The success of the pavilion was made possible through the dedicated support of Ms. Mallika Janakiraman, Mr. Shakti Ranganathan, Mr. Harry Singh (Mahindra), Mr. Krishna Avla ( Fresh Direct Limited, event flowers department) and many other partners and supporters who contributed to India's impressive debut at Fieldays.
