Red chilli cultivation contributes to the spice economy of Assam and is widely used in traditional cuisine and spice blends.

Red chillies are cultivated across different agro climatic zones of Assam and are valued for their flavour and pungency. The spice is used in dried, powdered, and processed forms in the food industry. India is among the largest exporters of chilli and chilli products, offering opportunities for farmers and entrepreneurs to participate in international markets. The development of drying, grading, and processing facilities in Assam can enhance the commercial potential of chilli production. Fiscal incentives such as subsidies for spice processing units and financial assistance for post harvest infrastructure can support industry growth. Non fiscal support including improved market linkages, quality standards, and training programs can help strengthen the chilli value chain.
