India Exports Cow Dung for Crores
India’s Unique Export Boom
India exports cow dung worth over 400 crore annually, mainly to Gulf nations for organic farming and soil use.
Why Gulf Nations Want It
Indian cow dung helps retain soil moisture, making it ideal for farming in desert climates like Saudi Arabia.
Used for Growing Dates
Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Kuwait use cow dung in their large-scale date palm plantations.
Price Per Kilo is High
High-quality cow dung is exported at 30 to 50 per kilo, making it a surprisingly profitable commodity.
Demand Keeps Growing
Kuwait alone imported over 190 metric tons of Indian cow dung in a single year for farming use.
Backed by Big Numbers
With over 300 million cattle, India produces nearly 30 million tons of dung daily—most of it reusable.
From Rural Waste to Wealth
What was once waste has become a booming export industry, supporting farmers and local businesses.
