Makhana

Makhana

Makhana processed in Assam is positioned as a healthy, low-fat snack with strong domestic and export demand.

Makhana is processed through cleaning, popping, roasting, flavouring, and packaging for use in snacks, sweets, and health foods. With growing demand for nutritious and gluten-free products, makhana offers significant opportunities for value addition and exports. Makhana products attract applicable GST rates, while exports are zero-rated and may be eligible for RoDTEP incentives. Imports of processing machinery may attract customs duties, with possible MSME incentives. Compliance with FSSAI requirements, moisture and microbial limits, and labelling standards is essential. For exports, adherence to Codex standards, residue norms, and packaging requirements is required. Proper processing, quality control, and packaging can further enhance market acceptance and export potential.
