Japan's Kikkoman Expands in India, Joining a Rush of Condiment Makers

Japan's leading condiment producer, Kikkoman, is set to establish its first plant in India, marking a significant milestone in the country's growing demand for soy sauce and other fermented foods.

Kikkoman's move into India comes as other major Japanese condiment producers, such as Kagome, seek to tap into the country's vast market.

With India's population rapidly growing and its middle class expanding, the demand for processed foods like soy sauce, tomato sauce, and other condiments is expected to surge in the coming years.

A local chef in India has been using Kikkoman's traditionally brewed soy sauce to create a variety of delicious dishes.
