Meet At Agra Agra

Meet At Agra is an international trade fair for the footwear and leather goods industry, held annually in November since 2007 at the Agra Trade Center in the northern Indian city of Agra. The event is organized by the Agra Footwear Manufacturers and Exporters Chamber (AFMEC), an industry association dedicated to promoting and representing the interests of the Indian footwear sector both domestically and internationally. The name of the fair symbolizes the global gathering at a historically significant hub of leather craftsmanship and highlights Agra’s importance as a center of Indian shoe production.

A defining feature of the fair is its thematic focus on the entire value chain of footwear and leather manufacturing. It is regarded as India’s leading platform for showcasing innovations, technologies, products, and services in the field. In Agra, manufacturers, suppliers, technology providers, and key decision-makers from business and government come together to discuss current trends and actively shape the industry's future. Exhibits include fashionable footwear for women, men, and children; high-quality leather components; industrial manufacturing machinery; and digital solutions for production and distribution.

Beyond business networking, the event also serves as a platform for political dialogue. In cooperation with government agencies, industry-specific frameworks are discussed, operational processes are optimized, and long-term strategies are developed. This close exchange between industry and policymakers is a distinctive feature of the fair, giving it a prominent place on India’s trade fair calendar.

A key element of “Meet At Agra” is the direct matchmaking between international buyers and Indian producers. Exhibitors primarily represent the fields of mechanical engineering, component manufacturing, design, chemicals, and accessories. The trade audience mainly comprises professionals from footwear manufacturing, retail, and global sourcing. The fair also attracts investors and policy advisors interested in structural developments within the sector.

The event is firmly rooted in Agra—a city renowned not only for the Taj Mahal but also for its rich tradition in leatherworking. The Agra Trade Center offers modern infrastructure and a convenient location, with easy access to the airport, rail network, and major highways.

In this way, “Meet At Agra” is more than just a major industry event; it is a showcase of India’s innovative strength—precisely focused, internationally oriented, and uniquely distinctive.
