Jaggery exporter from India
We export natural cane jaggery (gur) from India in blocks, cubes and powder, plus traditional jaggery confectionery, for importers, distributors, retailers and food manufacturers worldwide.
What is jaggery?
Jaggery, known in India as gur, is a traditional unrefined sugar made by boiling fresh sugarcane juice until it thickens, then cooling it into blocks or processing it into powder. Unlike refined white sugar, it is not centrifuged, so it keeps the molasses and the natural minerals of the cane. This gives it its golden-to-brown colour and rich, caramel-like taste.
India is the world's largest producer of jaggery, with major production in states such as Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Bharat Agro Exports sources jaggery from producers across these regions to match each buyer's colour, texture and format, and supplies it to buyers overseas with the packing and documentation export markets require.

Frequently asked questions
What forms of jaggery do you export?
We export jaggery in solid blocks, small cubes and free-flowing powder (granulated jaggery), plus jaggery-based confectionery such as chikki. Block and cube sizes are agreed with each buyer.
What is the HS code for jaggery?
Jaggery is non-centrifugal cane sugar and is generally classified under HS heading 1701, subheading 1701 13. Confirm the exact national tariff line with your customs broker, as import codes vary by country.
How long does jaggery last?
Jaggery keeps for months when protected from moisture, heat and air. It absorbs moisture easily, so it should be stored sealed in a cool, dry place. We pack with moisture-barrier liners for export, and agree the declared shelf life with each buyer.
Can you supply jaggery made without chemical clarifying agents?
Yes, on request and subject to availability. Some producers use clarifying agents during boiling; if your market or brand requires jaggery made without them, tell us in your enquiry and we will source accordingly.
Do you offer private-label jaggery packs?
Yes. We can pack retail pouches, boxes or jars with your brand and labelling, following the labelling rules of your market.
Which ports do you ship from?
We ship from the Indian port that best suits the sourcing region and your destination — for example Mundra or Nhava Sheva (JNPT) on the west coast, or Chennai, Visakhapatnam or Kolkata on the east coast.
