Areca Nut (Supari)

Areca Nut (Supari)

Assam is one of India’s leading producers of areca nut, which is processed into graded supari and value-added products for domestic use and export.

Areca nut cultivation is deeply rooted in Assam’s agrarian economy, particularly in districts such as Barpeta, Goalpara, Nagaon, and Kamrup. Raw nuts are processed through boiling, drying, polishing, cutting, flavouring, and grading to produce different forms of supari for food, traditional consumption, and industrial applications. Modern processing improves quality, hygiene, and shelf life while creating rural employment.Compliance with FSSAI, quality, moisture, and labelling requirements is essential, along with importing-country standards for exports. Proper documentation, traceability, and hygienic processing can improve acceptance in international markets, particularly in South and Southeast Asia.
