“In the past, jackfruit was not considered an income cropy. Fruits were left for wildlife to feed on…or used as fertilizer for soil. In recent years, we collaborated with [The Jackfruit Company] to sell our jackfruit. They educated us about its monetary value and ecological importance. I now know it can be grown as a monetary crop… and encourage other farmers to grow jackfruit trees.”
