Creating incubation centres for jackfruit is the need of the hour, said Shree Padre, executive editor, Adike Pathrike, a farm monthly, and a crusader for jackfruit and its value-added products, on Sunday. Speaking after inaugurating a jackfruit festival at Perla, near here, he said that there was also a need for setting up centres to train people in how to prepare value-added products of jackfruit. Stating that jackfruit was a highly under researched fruit, he said that there was no research institute for jackfruit in the world.
