Walnuts processed in Assam support premium retail, bakery, and export oriented health food markets.
Walnut cultivation in Assam is limited to select cooler pockets of Karbi Anglong, Dima Hasao, and nearby hill areas, where the climate supports the growth of temperate nut crops. While production remains small and mostly for local consumption, walnuts are appreciated for their rich flavour, healthy fats, and medicinal properties. Farmers grow walnuts in homestead orchards or small community plots, contributing to household income and nutrition. With proper varietal selection, orchard management, and post harvest processing, walnut cultivation in Assam holds potential for expansion into boutique dry fruit markets and organic produce segments.
