Sugarcane

Sugarcane

Sugarcane cultivation in Assam supports rural livelihoods and is used for producing jaggery, sugar, and other traditional and processed products.

Sugarcane is cultivated in Assam for processing into sugar, jaggery, molasses, and other by-products used in food and industrial applications. Small-scale and traditional processing units play a key role in supporting rural economies and generating employment. With growing demand for natural sweeteners and traditional products, sugarcane-based industries have strong market potential. From a fiscal perspective, sugar and related products are taxed under applicable GST rates, while exports are zero-rated and may be eligible for RoDTEP benefits. Imports of processing machinery may attract customs duties, with available incentives. From a non-fiscal perspective, compliance with FSSAI standards, hygiene, quality control, and packaging norms is essential.
