Jovaki Agro food India Pvt. Ltd. is an Udaipur based food processing company founded in 2017. We aim to develop a value chain of underutilized forest fruits like Custard apple, Jamun, Amla etc. We take pride in the fact that we have been able to contribute to the empowerment of the tribal women in the region by providing them a stable means of livelihood round the year and increase their family income. We procure our raw material from the tribal women in the region who harvest the forest produce.
We are able to provide them a higher price for their fruits than when they sell it in the local markets. Currently, we deal with around 450 tribal women, who are engaged in the collection of forest produce during the harvest season, spread over 12 villages where they have organized themselves into self-help groups of about 35. Around 150 tribal women are engaged in the manual processing of the products.
