The farmers of Chirang, along with the Panbari Bodofa Agro Organic Producer Company, exported the famous Assam lemon to the United Kingdom in the first week of July. The lemon, popularly known as Kazi Nemu, is produced only in Assam and is one of the main food items found in Assamese cuisine.
The Assamese lemon is mainly known for its rich source of Vitamin C. Besides this, it is also very refreshing in taste.
The lemons were handpicked from select lemon orchards of Panbari, Chirang and around 1,200kg of lemon was shipped to the Wholesale International Market in New Spitalfields, United Kingdom. The export of the GI Certified Assam Lemon has been done under the close supervision of the Bodofa FPC Common Service Centre and members of the Assam Agri-Business and Rural Transformation Project (APART) in Guwahati.
