About Us
How It All Began
The Purandar Figs having a GI status are indeed great, but due to their high perishability, they present certain challenges. It is difficult to bring small holder farmers together, when the microhorticulture crops business is limited. Additionally, there is very little research on figs and custard apples in pre-harvest and post-harvest practices, and the market for these fruits is also quite limited. However, every time we hear someone say "it is difficult," our eyes light up with excitement, eager to turn obstacles into opportunities. We grab on to the opportunity to convert all the Ifs, Buts and Maybes into a YES!
