INTRODUCTION:
Fig.1 Jaggery
India is the second largest producer of jaggery and the second largest producer of sugar in the
world. Sugar industry is the second biggest organized sector in the nation. Among the sugar
yielding crops like sugarcane, sugar beet, palms and sorghum, sugarcane is the most
important. Presently, sugarcane is cultivated in an area of about 4.361 m ha producing about
281.575 m tons of sugarcane annually. Ninety per cent of the production comes from Bihar,
Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu;
Uttar Pradesh being the maximum producer.
India horticulture has experienced varies technological changes in the last four decades.
These progressions have been boon to Farmers so far as agribusiness yield and profitability
are concerned. In any case, this has been unfit to guarantee stable salary to Farmers. The
advantages of new generation innovation won't continue for a more drawn out period
except if various efforts are made in improving the market system. The motto isn't just to
achieve synchronization between the demand and supply of farming commodity but also to
ensure reasonable prices for both producers and the consumers.
Sudden rise in making rate and wide fluctuation in the prices of agricultural
commodities are the two major factors affecting the income levels of farmers.
The price elasticity of demand for and supply of agricultural commodities being fairly
low and demand for these commodities rising steadily, their price instability is largely
attributed to the changes in their production and the consequent changes in the
market arrivals.
Crops like groundnut, sunflower, chilly and sugarcane tends to have higher price
instability because they are commercial crops.
The minimization of fluctuation in the prices of commodities over space and time
through adequate processing, transportation, storage, government policies and
other facilities not only stabilizes the income of the farming community but also
synchronizes between demand and supply.
The scope for stabilization of income of the farming community is more in those
crops where the produce cannot be hold back by the farmers for a longer period
without proper processing and storage facilities.
Sugarcane is one such yield which offers wide extension for preparing before it
achieves the last purchaser.
Sugarcane is grown extensively in India. The harvest possesses more than 44 lakh
hectares (about 1.80% of total cropped area) in the nation with a creation 273.93 million
tones.
In the process of manufacturing sugar, gur and khandasari from sugarcane, a great
nutritive worth is added to these useable finished harvests, further gives incredible
open door for work to a huge number of individuals in the nation.Gur is prepared in
all most all parts of the country whereas sugarcane is grown extensively
This Case study will briefly describe the manufacturing process of the Jaggery of
Meerut. It attempts to analyses and compare the entire process of jaggery
production in all the three jaggery areas of study. Among major sugarcane growing
countries in the world, India, the native of sugarcane, stands second in the cane
production and contributes more than 20 per cent of the world’s sugar output.
Although a large area is under production of this crop, the productivity in general is
quite low. It occupies the ninth position in the world map. It is consumed in almost
all sections of the society as a sweetener, and as a source of energy. It is also used in
animal feed mixtures.
In Ayurveda it is used as medicine, blood purifier and base material for syrups.
Jaggery is among major agro preparing businesses in India.
Nearly 20-30% of complete sugarcane created in the nation is utilized for production
of around 7 million tons jaggery, which is known as most nutritious operator among
all sugars.This sector provides employment to about 2.5 million people (cooperative
sugar). It is therefore, crucial to expand this sector, as it provides higher food value
jaggery at lower rate and provide an aid to the rural economic system, It basically
involves low transportation cost of raw material, and also non-requirement of highly
technical machinery and labour.

From the early days, the sugarcane crop has been known as money crop for Indian
cultivators. As much as 45 to 50 percent of sugarcane crop has been prepared every
year into jaggery or khandasari. The production of jaggery goes between five million
tons and seven million tons. It is evaluated that two third of the sweetening
requirement is met by jaggery in rural areas.
The jaggery business in the nation has consequently, been kept on being an industry
of great importance and relevance. The economy of the nation is intently connected
with this industry. The Sugar Committee of the Imperial Council of Agricultural
Research prescribed for an examination on existing states of jaggery so as to
improve the jaggery planning process in the year 1937.
As of late, the Indian sugar industry has ended up in an complex web of problem of
high stocks, low costs, poor profitability, high crude material cost, money related
problems, and feeble worldwide competition. Amid 2007-08 sugar seasons, the
Indian sugar industry began sugar generation despite the fact that it has a stock of
more than 112 lakh tons.
The sugar' factories are relied upon to deliver another 300 lakh huge amounts of
sugar amid the season against a yearly utilization of around 200 lakh tons. Thus,
sugar costs have hit a low of Rs 1,220 for every quintal and sugar costs don't cover
the crude material and cost of production of sugar. This has brought a delay and low
payments to the farmers for their sugarcane.
Jaggery industry has undergone several changes over the years, Kolhus used for
taking out sugarcane juice have been replaced by power grinders in many parts of
the country. This has improved the condition of sugarcane industry as now the
percentage of juice extraction has been increased.
It is obvious from the study that no systematic efforts have been made to improve
the jaggery business which is so fundamental from the perspective of its significance
in the economy and more prominent employement potential. There has been a
consistent increment in the interest for jaggery in perspective on the way that the
jaggery isn't just the main sweetening agent for rural masses yet has significant
forward linkages in the economy.
The creation of jaggery has not had the capacity to keep pace with expanding
interest for it. Thus, the costs of jaggery have been raised in recent years. Hence,
there is an immediate need for a detailed inquiry in to the various aspects of
production and marketing of jaggery. The investigation of this sort would help
recognizing the degree of productivity in jaggery creation, the techniques and issues
of advertising other than distinguishing different limitations in production and
marketing of this product.
4. TYPES OF JAGGERY
Jaggery is basically produced in three forms solid, liquid and powder or granular form, which
is briefly describes under:
To avoid crystallization and to make liquid jaggery appealing in colour, citric acid is
added, though to improve time span of usability of liquid jaggery without decay in
quality, potassium metabisulphite or Benzoic acid is added.
Liquid jaggery is then permitted to settle for a time of 8-10 days at ambient conditions.
Later after filtration, it is appropriately bundled in sanitized containers.
The granular jaggery is then cooled and obtained. Under 3 mm measured precious
stones are observed to be better for quality granular jaggery.
Jaggery as granules (sieved to around 3 mm), sun dried and dampness content
diminished to under 2%, and stuffed in polyethylene polyester sacks or polyethylene
bottles, can be put stored for longer time (over two years), ven during monsoon
period with little changes in quality.
5.PREPARATION PROCESS
In Earlier times the sugarcane farmers used crushers that were operated by hand,
but with the technological advancement nowadays modern crushers are used which
are power-driven.
These crushers are placed in fields near the sugarcane plants. The prepared
sugarcane is crushed in the machines and the extracted cane juice is collected in a
large vessel. A certain quantity of the juice is transferred to a smaller vessel for
heating on a furnace.
The container is then suspended to heat for a good 1 hour. Dried wood mash from
the sugarcane is customarily utilized as fuel for the heater. While heating up the
juice, lime is added to it with the goal that all the wood particles ascend to the
highest point of the juice in a foam, which is skimmed off. At long last, the juice is
thickened. The subsequent thick fluid is around 33% of the first volume.
This hot fluid is golden. It is blended consistently and lifted with a spatula to see
whether it shapes a string or dribbles while falling. On the off chance that it shapes
numerous strings, it has totally thickened. It is filled a shallow level bottomed dish
to cool and set. The skillet is amazingly vast to permit just a slight layer of this hot
fluid to frame at its base, in order to build the surface region for speedy vanishing
and cooling. In the wake of cooling, the jaggery turns into a delicate strong that is
formed into the ideal shape.
• The nature of jaggery is made a decision by its shading; dark coloured methods it is
higher in pollutions and brilliant yellow suggests it is moderately unadulterated. Because
of this reviewing scale, hued adulterants are here and there added to jaggery to recreate
the brilliant golden colour.
6. LIST OF FIGURES :

moderate item procured in the midst of grouping of sifted sugarcane juice amid jaggery
making, and is semi liquid syrup like thing. The idea of liquid jaggery, all things considered,
depends on quality and game plan of stick juice, sort of clarificants used, and striking
temperature at which concentrating juice is accumulated, which would help improving the
greater part populace enduring due to under nourishment, and ailing health, in view of
insufficient normal eating routine and most likely, may supplant sugar in creation of
wellbeing sustenances, moreover, along these lines, appears to have mind blowing future
among masses and could be progressed.
