1) ✅ How to Start sugar cane waste (Bagasse) Business with Just ₹50,000 Investment (India)

2) Introduction: Bagasse = Waste to Wealth Export Product

Sugarcane bagasse is the fibrous residue after juice extraction. Earlier used as low-grade fuel, it’s now molded into heat-resistant, grease-proof, PFAS-free, compostable tableware.

India (world’s #2 sugarcane producer) has a massive raw-material advantage and can export competitively to USA, Europe, UK, and Middle East.
