The delegation was led by Shomita JS Biswas, the joint secretary for India's Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, and included representatives from major Indian agricultural businesses.

"The delegation is a learning opportunity for the Indian side and the sharing of experience will deepen the relationship between India and Australia," Ms Biswas said.

The delegation attended last week's Digital Agrifoods Summit, involving agritech sector representatives from Australia and overseas.

The visit followed the April signing of the Australia-India Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement by the then Coalition government.

The agreement will see tariffs eliminated on more than 85 per cent of Australian goods exports to India - valued at more than $12.6 billion a year.

Organised by the Australian Trade and Investment Commission, the delegation is being seen as an opportunity for Australian and Indian agribusiness to explore economic opportunities to collaborate.
