Bihar played a key role in advancing India’s agri-food export ambitions by hosting the International Buyer-Seller Meet (IBSM) 2025 in Patna. The event was jointly organized by the Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI), the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), the Trade Promotion Council of India (TPCI), and the Government of Bihar. The initiative focused on creating global market linkages and highlighting Bihar’s vast agricultural potential, from fruits and vegetables to processed food products. It marked a significant step in integrating Bihar’s farmers and food producers into international trade and value chains.
