Tea and coffee are among the most popular beverages, consumed both in India and around the
world. The top two tea producing nations – China and India, collectively produce about 60% of
total global tea output. India is the second-largest tea producer and consumer after China and
fourth largest tea exporter after Kenya, China, and Sri Lanka.
India, which exports more than two-thirds of its coffee output, grows coffee primarily in its
Southern part. Recently, Coffee too has become very popular in India amongst the youth thanks
to entry of new Indian & Overseas chains like Barista, Café Coffee Day (CCD), Costa Coffee,
Gloria Jeans, and others. With domestic coffee outlets set to increase manifold over the next 3
years, in addition to foray of global players such as Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts, the coffee
industry is likely to witness healthy growth in future.
WTCE 2013 will serve as the ideal platform not only for showcasing Indian Tea & Coffee brands
and technologies but also for International companies to seek market expansion & branding
prospects in India. The event will thus serve the twin purpose of acting as a sourcing platform for
Indian companies and as marketing avenue for seeking international buyers. The event shall
facilitate striking of deals, joint ventures and signing of major contracts. In view of the uniqueness
of the show, it is expected to be attended by over 10,000 trade buyers and general visitors.
WTCE 2013 shall also include Buyer Seller Meets & Seminars to enable entrepreneurs to access
