Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal has announced plans to showcase India's agricultural and processed food products in Singapore through a roadshow and in-store promotion. Goyal joined Singapore's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Trade & Industry, Gan Siow Huang, and other officials at the APEDA-FairPrice event. The initiative aims to create new opportunities for Indian farmers and food manufacturers to expand their presence in Singapore and subsequently in ASEAN and Australia.
The APEDA-FairPrice event is part of a broader delegation led by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, which also includes key Indian trade and industry ministers. The visit to Singapore marks the fourth India-Singapore Ministerial Roundtable (ISMR) and Business Roundtable (ISBR), aimed at strengthening economic ties between the two nations.
Singapore has been India's largest source of foreign direct investment in recent years, with inflows totaling $19.8 billion in 2025-26. Bilateral trade between India and Singapore has also seen substantial growth, surging from $6.7 billion in 2004-05 to $36.1 billion in the same period.
