Difficulties observed in the market India being the largest producer of agarbatti and dhoop, a large amount of raw material is imported due to high prices of Indian raw materials. Agarbattis sticks are made from bamboo, a key input which is imported from China or Vietnam. This is because of the stringent Indian forest regulations creating a deficit of the raw material in the country, forcing manufacturers to turn to imports. However this was due to the free trade agreement which have now been revised to restricted trade where the importers have to acquire license from the government for import purpose. The low import rate led to closure of many Indian agarbatti manufacturing plants and number of job losses. This is because the Indian bamboo sticks were found to be costlier that have allowed manufacturers to import the products and sell into the market by easing the task. To tackle this situation KVIC came up with a solution to plant certain variety of bamboo called Bamboosa Tulda which has intermodal length of 22 inches. This organisation aims to plant around 20,000 saplings of variety every year. The import duty which was brought down to 5% in 2018 have now increased to 15.5% with GST.
