Dates (Khajoor)

Dates (Khajoor)

Dates processed in Assam are supplied to retail, institutional, and ethnic markets, with potential for re-export.

Dates are processed into pitted, chopped, paste, syrup, and flavoured snack forms for use in sweets, bakery products, beverages, and traditional foods. With strong demand in domestic and international markets, dates offer significant opportunities for value addition and exports. Dates and processed products attract applicable GST rates, while exports are zero-rated and may be eligible for RoDTEP incentives. Imports of raw dates and packaging machinery may involve customs duties. Compliance with FSSAI standards, labelling, shelf-life, and quality requirements is essential. For exports, products must meet Codex standards and the regulations of importing countries. Proper processing, packaging, and quality control can enhance market acceptance and export potential.
