(JACKFRUIT VALUE ADDITION PROGRAM) 

Proposal of a Project by                                                                                                            Jackfruit Promotion Council (JPC)                                                                                           for Promoting farming, harvesting, processing, value-addition                                                    and marketing of jack fruit products                                                         Submitted to                                                                                                                               Kerala State Planning Board

I.INTRODUCTION

Jackfruit (artocarpus heterophyllus) is a seasonal fruit found in almost all the humid tropical regions of the world. This compound and largest of fruits traditionally played a major role in fulfilling the food and nutritional needs of the local communities. It has also served as a good construction material and widely used in temple carving works.  The jack tree and its fruit have been noted for high versatility. Every part of the tree is valuable, useful. In fact, it qualifies for the title ‘kalpavriksha’- the wish fulfilling celestial tree. Its multiple uses/services can be subsumed under:

• Food for humans and animals
• Construction material/timber
• Support for perennial climbers (like pepper)
• Medicine
• Environment protection and spiritual solace

II. KERALA SCENARIO

Jack fruit is ubiquitous in Kerala. It is found in all places, except the sandy coastal belt. The district-wise distribution of jack fruit is as follows: 

(Source: Farm Guide 2008-2009, Farm Information Bureau, Dept.  of Agriculture, GoK) 

As is evident from the table, there is considerable variation among the districts across the state as regards the cultivation/presence of jack fruit. Maximum area and production of  Jack  is from  Idukki (11171: 39), followed by Kozhikode (8963; 28) and Malappuram       (8002; 26) and trailed by Alappuzha (2053;7) and Kasaragod (1852;7).  This variation has agronomic as well as sociological reasons.  

The jack tree, for generations upon generations, has been treated as a member of every household. One could not fancy a home without at least one jack tree, which, with no special care, used to offer varieties of nutritious and delicious food items. More than any other tree, the jack fruit tree appeals to the Malayalee psyche. Unfortunately, this emotional link is being broken by the indifference, apathy and neglect of the younger generations, cut off from mother nature and her nourishing and protective influence.  The current state jack fruit production is considerably huge; but, saddeningly, the bulk of it (nearly 75%) goes waste. This wastage of a natural resource with high potentiality in terms of food security as well as local economic development, has a number of reasons, including:

• Life style changes in the wake of modernization, urbanization and the like.
• Difficulties in harvesting and cumbersomeness in processing the fruit
• Low awareness about the value and importance of using the resource
• Absence of appropriate technologies for value addition
• Dearth of entrepreneurial initiatives for producing and marketing innovative value-added products
• Loss of traditional knowledge, wisdom and technology in regard to the management of the jackfruit

III. EMERGING PROBLEMS / ISSUES 

The jackfruit scenario in the state is riddled with a number of acute problems/issues, including: 

• Low awareness and appreciation of the value and importance of jackfruit
• High percentage of wastage of a natural resource with high development potential
• Improper harvesting and handling, leading to high wastage
• Lack of need-based R&D
• Development of suitable varieties for small households
• Cumbersomeness of processing, due to spikes, leather, gum etc. of the fruit
• Low level of awareness and skills for value-addition
• Prejudices and disregard/ treating it as a minor fruit etc.
• Low level of information, communication, exchange, coordination and networking among individuals and groups interested in jackfruit promotion
• Unavailability of appropriate technology/ low level of technological development
• Odour
• No proper supply chain
• No assured market for fruit and products
• Unavailability of suitable/good quality variety of fruits round the year for regular production of value added products

IV.OPPORTUNITIES OPENING UP

Against the backdrop of problems and issues mentioned above should be seen the large scope and tremendous opportunities thrown open by emerging food trends/needs and market potentialities. For one thing, the spectre of food scarcity looming large on the futuristic horizon is also an opportunity to revisit the local natural resources, develop them and benefit from them. For another, consumption of natural value-depleted and at the same time highly noxious food items, poisoned by pesticide residues is causing serious health hazards, prompting increasing number of people to turn to organically grown and processed ethnic food, noted for nutrition value, taste and safety. The situation the world over is that supply is not adequate for meeting the growing demand for this type of food. 

Kerala has resources, natural as well as human, for effectively bridging this gap to the benefit of all concerned. It is only a matter of effective organization, coordination and networking.   

V. JACKFRUIT PROMOTION COUNCIL (JPC)

Jackfruit Promotion Council (JPC) is a civil society response to the challenges and possibilities thrown up by the problems / issues mentioned above. This is a platform of like-minded individuals, groups and institutions works for the sole purpose of promoting the production and marketing of value-added jack fruit products.  

JPC Initiatives

During the short span of its one year existence, JPC has made purposeful and notable interventions in the area of jackfruit promotion. The first ever National Jackfruit Festival, conducted in Thiruvananathapuram in June 2011, was a monumental success story of jackfruit promotion efforts in the country. A collaborative endeavor with the participation of scores of agencies and groups in the NGO as well as Government sector, it served to not only re-kindle the love of Malayalees for the wonder fruit from the jack tree, but also to open the eyes of the civil society as well as the government authorities, leading to policy revision and practical steps towards promoting jackfruit and its numerous value-added products. Almost a year later, a similar event was organized and conducted in Kozhikode, which further cemented the resolve of the government and the civil society groups for going forward with planned interventions for promoting in big way value-addition in jackfruit processing. JPC has also succeeded in building contacts and establishing linkage with individuals and groups with passion for value-addition of jackfruit across the country and abroad. In a bid to enhancing learning and establishing contact with international groups and institutions, members of JPC visited Srilanka and had purposeful interactions with entrepreneurs and resource groups there. Another concrete achievement of JPC is the creation of a reliable data base of information related to jack fruit and its value-addition scope. 

JPC, registered in 2011 under the Societies Registration Act, has the requisite commitment, talent and skills for managing the project. (For   details about JPC see Annexure 1).

VI. PROJECT PROPOSAL 

After prolonged consultations and deliberations, JPC has given shape to a project proposal, the main features of which are briefly given below. 


      Vision of the Project

“Creation of a new era of local food security as well as economic security of small farmers through the promotion of scientific practices of cultivation, harvesting, processing, value-addition and marketing of jack fruit”. 


      Mission 


To empower, capacitate and equip the small farmers and small scale entrepreneurs to achieve the objectives of the project, as spelt below. 


      Key Objectives/ Expected main Outcomes 


      The project is oriented to realizing objectives/outcomes including: 


• Revival and enhancement of interest among the different participants/stakeholders in regard to production, consumption and value-addition of jack fruit
• Generation and promotion of knowledge as well as skills in regard to all aspects of 'jack fruit management' (farming, harvesting, processing, value-addition, marketing etc.)
• Accessing, introduction, development, exchange and propagation of appropriate technologies related to all aspects of jackfruit management
• Creation of employment, income and prosperity for the families of farmers and entrepreneurs
• Creation of a conducive socio-political environment, linkages and networking channels and platforms for exchange and collaboration among different actors/players at the local, state, regional, national and internationals levels
• Purposeful and effective dissemination of information and knowledge around jackfruit management
• Inclusion of jackfruit as a food supplement in Government programmes such as Mid-day Meals for school children
• To link jackfruit management with women’s empowerment
 
 


VI. PROGRAMS 


Towards realizing the objectives/outcomes, a wide array of programs are contemplated in the project, of which the main are mentioned and briefly commented upon below. 


      1. Development of Regional Resource Centers (RRC)

Selected competent organization/institutions, such as local governments, VOs, will be capacitated to function as Regional Resource Centers (RRC) for promoting production and marketing of value-added products.  


      2. Promotion of 'Friends of Jackfruit' Groups

Small farmers with a passion for jackfruit will be organized under the name 'Friends of Jackfruit' for building solidarity, providing information, and encouragement for cultivating high quality varieties of jack tree in a scientific manner. This will ensure the ready supply of quality fruits in the long run, without which it is impossible to succeed in value-addition. Along with this, a local group of youngsters will be trained in scientific/safe harvesting and handling of the fruits, pruning, budding, grafting, etc. This team will be available for various ‘jackfruit promotion’ activities.  

      3. Public Education/ Sensitization Campaign

To create a conducive social environment and public participation in the eneavor, it is proposed to conduct education/awareness generation programs on the theme of value-addition in jackfruit products. Different IEC methods and materials will be effectively used. 

4. Policy Advocacy

Public/government policy has to be revised in favor of jackfruit. Towards this advocacy and lobbying efforts will be undertaken. 

5. Study / Research and Documentation

Two types o study are envisaged: one, by the RRCs, focusing on local practices and status of jackfruit; the other, an in-depth and elaborate study/basic research on all aspects of jackfruit, by JPC, strictly following scientific rigor with the support of specialists/scientists. The  findings of  this study, which will take a couple of years, will be published to serve as a source book on jackfruit. 

6. Capacity building/Training

Capacity building programs will be conducted for different sections of stakeholders at the central and regional level on various aspects related to the project. 

      7. Training in value-added Products

      Training will be given to entrepreneurs (individuals and groups) in value-addition

        technologies as well as entrepreneurship development.  

      8. Propagation of High Quality Varieties

High quality varieties of jackfruit will be propagated through raising of nurseries and distribution of seedlings. 

      9. Transfer of Technology

      Appropriate technologies will be accessed from different countries such as SriLanka,

      Vietnam, Malasia and transferred to farmers and producers.  

      10. Value-addition of Other Seasonal Fruits

Jack fruit is available only for a few months in a year. To keep the Resource Centers occupied and running profitably, other seasonal fruits, such as banana, mango, papaya, guava, butter fruit, will be also processed  for making and selling value-added products. 

      11. Marketing Support

Marketing of products is a big challenge. Effective marketing support will be provided to the producers for ensuring ready marketing and good returns. 

      12. Research and Development

JPC, in collaboration with experts will undertake research and development activities with the aim of developing innovative solutions for problems encountered and enhancing the quality and quantity of outputs and generating higher incomes. 

Some of these activities will be conducted exclusively by JPC; some exclusively by  RRC; while some others will be implemented by both, but at different levels, so as to avoid duplication and at the same time ensure complementation and supplementation.  


VII. METHODOLOGY AND STRATEGY

The project will be implemented in an innovative manner with maximum participation and ownership of all the main stakeholders, including the farmers,  local governments, RRCs, CBOs, NGOs, government departments/agencies, research institutions, financial institutions and so forth.  

A three-tiered management system is envisaged. At the bottom are the farmers (friends of jack fruit) and small entrepreneurs, whose role is mainly cultivation of jack and production of quality fruit and value-addition, respectively; in the middle are resource centers and the local governments, whose main role is to capacitate and empower the farmers and small entrepreneurs; at the top is JPC, whose role is to empower and equip the RRCs. 

It is proposed to develop 7 RRCs (one RRC for two districts) across the state in areas selected on clear-cut criteria. These can be managed by LSGIs or VOs / NGOs.  JPC will provide information, training, consultancy, monitoring and evaluation support, in addition to funds. 

Maximum possible transparency and accountability will be ensured through appropriate management approaches and techniques. 

It will be ensured that the products maintain high quality on a par with international standards.  

      Method and Criteria for Selection of RRC 

Proposals will be invited from local governments and NGOs interested in partnering with JPC in implementing the project. The proposals/applications will be properly screened and selection will be done on the basis of field assessment and interview. Elaborate criteria/guidelines will be prepared and disseminated. The guidelines will include activities and outcomes expected from the resource centers.
