Litchi

Litchi

Litchi produced in Assam is valued for its sweetness and is consumed fresh as well as processed into juices and pulp for seasonal markets.

Litchi cultivation contributes to Assam’s horticulture sector, with the fruit being consumed fresh and processed into juices, pulp, and beverages. Due to its perishable nature, cold storage and processing infrastructure are essential for reducing losses and improving value addition. Growing demand for seasonal and exotic fruits enhances market potential. From a fiscal perspective, processed products attract applicable GST rates, while exports are zero-rated and may be eligible for RoDTEP benefits. Imports of cold storage equipment may involve customs duties, with applicable incentives. From a non-fiscal perspective, compliance with FSSAI standards, grading, and cold chain management is essential.
