Garlic cultivation is practiced across several districts of Assam and plays a key role in the spice and vegetable segment. It is widely used in food processing, traditional medicine, and culinary applications.
Garlic is an essential spice crop grown in Assam and widely used in culinary preparations, pickles, spice blends, and medicinal products. The crop thrives in the fertile soils and favourable climate of the state and contributes to the local agricultural economy. India is a significant producer of garlic, and the growing global demand presents opportunities for exports of fresh and processed garlic products. Assam has potential to develop garlic processing units for products such as garlic powder, paste, flakes, and oil. Fiscal incentives such as subsidies for agro-processing industries, financial support for cold storage infrastructure, and access to credit can encourage investment in the sector. Non fiscal support including training programs, market linkages, improved storage facilities, and better logistics can help strengthen the garlic value chain and improve competitiveness.
