Chilli (Bhut Jolokia and Other Chillies and Chilli-Based Spices)

Assam’s world-famous Bhut Jolokia and other chillies are processed into powders, flakes, sauces, pastes, and spice blends, with strong export demand.

Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Pepper), native to Assam, is among the hottest chillies in the world and holds Geographical Indication (GI) status. Along with other indigenous varieties, it is processed into dried chilli powder, crushed flakes, spice blends, pickles, sauces, oleoresins, and defence/aerosol applications. These products command premium prices in gourmet, pharmaceutical, and industrial markets.
