Mini Udayakumar, a Thiruvananthapuram
(Kerala) housewife took training in Jackfruit Value Addition from CARD KVK
Pathnamthitta six months ago and has straightaway plunged into production.
She makes Chakka Varatty, JF Mixture, Halwa, Jam,
Jelly and few other products – but only jackfruit products. She has to buy
fruits from neighbourhood or from Market. On an average, she shells out around
100 to 150 Rs for a firm fleshed (Varikka) jackfruit. Soft-fleshed ones are
available damn cheap at Rs 25.
Mini’s hubby Udayakumar helps her. Mini is selling
her products throw ‘Swadeshi’ for the time being. The couple have decided to
start their own unit & brand very shortly.
