On 22 May 2024, the UICC organised a roundtable in collaboration with the Bihar Industries Association (BIA) in Patna. The objective of the roundtable was to discuss the various opportunities available for Bihar-based enterprises, particularly in the agriculture and food processing sectors with respect to the CEPA. There were over 50 company representatives in attendance, with participants ranging from established companies to startups. The event also witnessed the launch of a report commissioned by the UICC, entitled “The UAE and Opportunities for Bihar’s Agricultural Sector”, which outlined the significant role Bihar can play in further catalysing cooperation between the UAE and India in the agriculture and food security sectors. Following the launch of the report, Mr. Aljneibi led a discussion on the potential for agricultural exports from Bihar to the UAE.
