Jaggery (Gur) & Liquid Jaggery

Jaggery (Gur) & Liquid Jaggery

Assam’s sugarcane-based jaggery and liquid jaggery offer MSMEs opportunities in hygienic processing, packaging, branding, and natural sweetener markets.

Jaggery production in Darrang and Nalbari involves extracting sugarcane juice, filtering, boiling it in open or improved pans, clarifying impurities, concentrating the syrup, moulding, cooling, and packaging it into blocks or liquid form. Transitioning from traditional open-pan methods to improved fuel-efficient furnaces and stainless-steel vessels significantly enhances hygiene, reduces contamination, and improves colour and texture. Packaged jaggery caters to rising urban demand for natural sweeteners. Liquid jaggery, produced through controlled heating without solidification, is increasingly used in confectionery and health-food products. Proper packaging, moisture control, and hygiene standards help position jaggery as a natural alternative to refined sugar for household and industrial markets.
