About 53rd Dairy Industry Conference and Exhibition
Cattle to Kettle - Empowering Women Dairy Farmers
IN CELEBRATION OF THE UN INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF THE WOMAN FARMER – IYWF 2026
The 53rd Dairy Industry Conference & Exhibition brings India’s dairy ecosystem to South Goa from 21 to 23 January 2027, creating a comprehensive platform for technology, enterprise, knowledge exchange and industry collaboration.
Driven by the theme “Cattle to Kettle: Empowering India’s Women Dairy Farmers,” the 53rd edition will recognise and strengthen the role of women across every stage of the dairy value chain, from cattle care, breeding and milk production to processing, value addition, entrepreneurship and market access. The exhibition will bring together dairy farmers, cooperatives, processors, equipment manufacturers, technology providers, start-ups, researchers, policymakers, financial institutions and industry leaders to explore solutions that can improve productivity, ensure quality, advance sustainability and create stronger rural enterprises.
Hosted in South Goa, the 53rd DIC will offer exhibitors and sponsors a strategically positioned platform to connect with stakeholders from across India’s dairy and allied sectors.
