Approximately 55% of the world's jaggery is produced in India, highlighting the country's dominance in this industry. Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh are the largest jaggery-producing states, contributing significantly to India’s agricultural economy. Colombia, the second-largest producer, accounts for only 11% of global production, underscoring India’s unparalleled position.
