It’s millets & honey at this year’s Konkan fruit fest.
Apr 20, 2023

Millets make a debut at the Konkan fruit fest this year — the year that celebrates this grain — with a fruit and millet dish competition.
 
Participants can get any homemade product that has at least one millet and fruit, or nut as the key ingredient. The dish has to be prepared by the contestant and have a portion size of 200ml or 250gm.
 
Even the fancy dress contest this year will permit participants to dress in the millet theme.
 
The Konkan Fruit Fest will be held from April 21 to 23 from 10am to 8pm at the Francisco Luis Gomes garden, Campal, Panaji.
 
Honey farmers will also debut at the event, with this year’s edition hosting the best honey competition for the first time. Participants have to present home-produced honey in a 100ml glass jar. The quantity of honey should not be more than 50gm. On the label, participants must mention the location from which the honey was collected. Only two types, Apis cerena indica and Trigona spp, will be accepted in the contest.
 
The spotlight will also be on the tender jack fruit (TJF), identified under One District, One Product of PM-FME program for North Goa.
 
'The Konkan Fruit Fest seeks to give it a boost,' said founding member of the Botanical Society of Goa, Miguel Braganca. 'One multi product fruit processing unit has been set up at Pale-Velguem for the same under the CSR of Goa Shipyard Ltd,' he added.
 
Berries like jamun, kanttam (Indian cherry), churna, amboram (mulberry), charam (charoli), and kokum (garcinia) will also be in focus, along with other summer fruits like the bull’s heart (anona).
