Assam’s robust jackfruit varieties are produced for fresh consumption and processing into value-added products such as chips. The crop offers opportunities for domestic trade and exports.
As a "poor man's fruit," jackfruit flourishes in Assam's forests and farms in Jorhat, yielding massive fruits used fresh, dried, or as flour. Production exceeds 150,000 tons, with exports to the US for ethnic communities. Fiscally, no duties apply under WTO, but GST at 12% covers processed items; imports are negligible, focusing on seeds from Kerala. Non-fiscal hurdles include biodiversity laws for wild varieties and HACCP for food safety. With jackfruit's rise as a meat substitute in plant-based diets, key opportunities involve R&D for ripening tech, export-oriented dehydration units, and GI tagging for Artocarpus heterophyllus, potentially tapping a $1 billion global vegan market and employing 20,000 in Northeast India.
