ommercial Solar Dryer in Assam
Assam has strong potential for commercial food processing, horticulture and agricultural value addition. The state produces large quantities of banana, pineapple, orange, papaya, lemon, guava, litchi, jackfruit, mango, potato, turmeric, ginger, chilli, vegetables, arecanut and other agricultural products. Assam's 2025 Statistical Handbook records more than 27 lakh tonnes of fruit production and over 5.8 million tonnes of vegetable production in 2024–25, highlighting the scale of the state's horticultural sector.
