It is used widely in almost all households and even on a day-to-day basis. This fact itself explains the demand which Jaggery has in the market and how it can be profitable for businesses that are dealing in the manufacturing process.

Textile is the most well-known and widely opted business, however, after textiles comes the sugar industry. One of the prominent factors to be considered is that Jaggery is obtained or procured from Sugar or rather Sugarcane juice. This itself defines that the process of procuring Jaggery is very easy as compared to the manufacturing process of other items. This makes the investment and the complexity regarding the equipment and manufacturing processes easier.

Jaggery is also consumed as a substitute for sugar by various people who reside in rural area. For people living in rural areas or belonging to the lower class in terms of the income range, consuming sugar on a daily basis becomes difficult for them because of its high price. They consume Jaggery in place of Sugar thus the demand is on a great scale in such areas. Let us dive deeper into the process of manufacturing Jaggery.

Process 

The first step is to acquire the right type and quality of Sugarcane for the processing of Jaggery powder. The quality of Jaggery powder would directly depend on the type of Sugarcane which you use. Once you have your Sugarcane, it is first crushed in the Sugarcane crusher machinery, this helps in storing the Sugarcane juice which is the main ingredient and is stored in a container.

The Next stage is to extract the Sugarcane Juice or known as the extraction process and this step is divided into three stages. Extraction can only be successful if it is processed with boiling, cooling, and the filtration process. The heating process goes to the point where the Sugarcane juice becomes thick and starts to turn into Jaggery.

Once the shape starts to form, the next step which comes up is the cooling process. To shape the jaggery into powder form, it is taken through a cooling process which helps to form the smaller granules and take the shape of Jaggery Powder. This process has to be executed carefully as the quality of the Jaggery powder would also depend on the same.

 Once the process finishes, the Jaggery Powder is packed in Jute cloth and is now ready to be packed, shipped, and carry on the business.

Jaggery or Jaggery powder is used in many households as an additive or even as a substitute for sugar in rural areas. The only Raw material required for starting Jaggery Powder making business is Sugarcane. The process of making Jaggery Powder making business involves obtaining the Sugarcane juice through the crushing machine, then boiling, filtering, and cooling down the juice into Jaggery Powder.
