Citronella cultivation in Assam supports the extraction of essential oil used in insect repellents, candles, and perfumery products.
Citronella oil extraction is gaining importance in Assam due to its applications in insect repellents, candles, and perfumery products. The crop grows well in Assam’s climate and supports farmer incomes through aromatic plant cultivation. From a fiscal perspective, citronella oil products attract applicable GST rates, while exports are zero-rated and may be eligible for RoDTEP benefits. Imports of distillation machinery may involve customs duties, with possible support under available incentive schemes. From a non-fiscal perspective, compliance with safety standards, labelling requirements, and product certification is required. Export markets require adherence to international fragrance standards and packaging norms.
