The Assam government has introduced a comprehensive plan to streamline the agarwood industry, a sector with significant economic potential in the state. The proposed measures include simplifying regulatory procedures for cultivation, processing, and export activities related to agarwood. Currently, the industry faces challenges such as complex regulations and limited organized cultivation. The state plans to address these issues by strengthening cultivation practices and supporting processing infrastructure to improve production efficiency.
Additionally, facilitating smoother export processes is expected to open new markets for agarwood products, enhancing the industry's international competitiveness. Authorities emphasized that these changes aim to support farmers growing agarwood trees by providing them with greater opportunities and resources. This initiative aligns with Assam’s broader economic development strategy, which seeks sustainable growth in niche agricultural and industrial sectors. The government's proactive approach aims to position Assam as a key player in the global agarwood market.
