Assam will ship agarwood chips valued at Rs 2.58 crore to Dubai, marking a significant export for the state’s forest products sector.
The state of Assam is set to export a consignment of agarwood chips to Dubai, with the shipment valued at approximately Rs 2.58 crore. The export deal was announced by state officials, underscoring the growing demand for high‑quality agarwood in the Middle East.
Agarwood, known for its aromatic resin, is a premium forest product cultivated in Assam’s protected forests. The Rs 2.58 crore shipment reflects both the commercial potential of the commodity and the state's efforts to tap international markets.
State authorities said the export aligns with broader strategies to boost forest‑based livelihoods and generate foreign exchange. The chips are expected to reach Dubai in the coming weeks, where they will be processed for use in perfumes, incense and traditional medicines.
