It is always inspiring when industry leaders, policymakers, and technology innovators unite with a shared vision of advancing global agriculture. Specifically, the Indonesian International Coconut Conference & Exposition (IICCE) 2026, held in Medan, Indonesia, provided exactly that platform. Consequently, it succeeded in bringing together global stakeholders committed to shaping the future of the coconut sector.
Strengthening Global Partnerships at IICCE 2026
During the event, GTI Group (Genex Tech Industries LLP) was privileged to welcome Prof. Bungaran Saragih, Ph.D., Former Minister of Agriculture of Indonesia (2000–2004), and Dr. Jefina Alouw, Chairman of the International Coconut Community (ICC), to our exhibition booth.
Indeed, the high-profile visit provided an excellent opportunity for Mr. Prashant Garg, Managing Director of GTI Group, to engage in meaningful dialogue. In particular, they focused on key industry drivers:
-
The future of the global coconut industry and sustainable processing technologies.
-
Value-added coconut products, in addition to global food security.
-
Furthermore, the rising demand for advanced processing infrastructure across major coconut-producing countries.
Modernizing the Coconut Processing Industry
