We’re entering a milestone moment — the 53rd IPC Annual Session is just around the corner, and the momentum is building.

Through three productive online coordination meetings held on 8, 21, and 24 July 2025, IPC and the host country India have been aligning efforts to ensure a meaningful and world-class gathering this 27–30 October in Kochi, India.
From confirming Le Meridien Kochi as the official venue, ready to welcome up to 300 delegates, to finalizing a robust program lineup featuring HOD Meetings, multiple conference sessions, and a series of sideline events, preparations are well underway.
Behind the scenes, the IPC Secretariat and the Indian organizing team are working in close synergy to ensure all logistical and technical aspects are in place. The official event website and mobile app are also in development and will soon serve as a central hub for all things IPC Kochi 2025.
Let’s be clear, this is more than just a conference. It’s a collaborative stage where ideas turn into action, and partnerships pave the way for a stronger, more connected global pepper industry. The future doesn’t just happen. It’s built, and it starts here.
