Authors

Abstract
Jaggery, popularly known as "Gur," is one of the oldest
traditional sweeteners produced from sugarcane and palm sap. The jaggery
industry plays a significant role in the rural economy of India by generating
employment, supporting small-scale enterprises, and adding value to
agricultural produce. In recent years, the industry has undergone substantial
changes due to technological advancements, increasing health consciousness
among consumers, growing export demand, and government support for food
processing industries. The emergence of organic jaggery, jaggery powder,
jaggery cubes, chemical-free production methods, modern processing
technologies, and sustainable manufacturing practices has transformed the
traditional jaggery sector into a rapidly growing agro-processing industry.
This paper examines the recent trends in jaggery production industries,
analyzes opportunities and challenges, and discusses future prospects for
sustainable growth.
