Abstract:
Jackfruit is a typical Indian fruit mainly grown in West Bengal, Bihar, Assam and the west
coast. The project can be set up in any of these States. Fully ripe jackfruit is sweet and has
exotic flavour. The bulbs (edible flakes) contain 7.5% sugar on dry weight basis and a fair
amount of carotene which is Vitamin-A. Many down the line products from jackfruit are
contemplated. Apart from better utilisation of perishable fruit this would also result in
considerable value addition.
