Assam exported its first international consignment of 5,627 litres of Purabi Ice Cream to Bhutan on July 28, 2026. The consignment was flagged off by Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma. The ice cream was manufactured by West Assam Milk Producers' Cooperative Union Limited (WAMUL) and exported through North East Dairy and Foods Limited (NEDFL). APEDA supported the initiative by facilitating export documentation, regulatory compliance, and market access. The shipment is aimed at expanding the presence of Made-in-Assam dairy products in international markets, particularly in Bhutan's major cities such as Thimphu, Paro, Phuentsholing, and Wangdue.
