Hyderabad is all set to host an event with a difference - a sweet and salty one.

The third World ‘Mithai Namkeen’ Convention organised by the Federation of Sweets and Namkeen Manufacturers (FSNM) in association with Almond House will be held at Hitex, Madhapur on January 9 and 10.

FSNM president Virender Jain said the industry was worth Rs 1



lakh crore and would show a double-digit growth rate in the next decade year on year. Chaitanya Muppala, director, Almond House, said the show was taking place for the first time in South India and a robust response was expected from all the southern States. FSNM director, Firoz H Naqvi, said the industry was facing issues related to GST among others.
