It is the most densely populated region of Assam and is home to the state’s capital, Guwahati. The Brahmaputra Valley is well-suited for the cultivation of citrus fruits due to its warm climate and abundant rainfall. The region also has a long history of citrus cultivation, dating back to the 16th century.
