About Jovaki

Custard apple grows in about 20,000 hectares of the forests in Rajasthan. Harvesting this wildly grown fruit and selling it in the nearby villages and markets was the main source of livelihood for the tribal women in our district. Ripe fruit when harvested has a shelf life of 1 day and all the unsold fruits will have to discarded at the end of the day. The tribal women had to walk for long distances to take it to the nearby villages and they often had to sell the fruits at a very low price as the buyers had great bargaining power due to the fact that the fruits will either have to be sold before evening or discarded as waste. Mr. Rajesh Ozha arrived at an entrepreneurial solution for this problem by setting up a processing plant which added value to the produce by processing it and increasing the shelf life. The fruits are not available throughout the year and grows only during a horizon of about 2 months every year. Thus, processing the fruits also makes them available throughout the year.

Our main products are dried and frozen pulp of custard apple and Jamun. We also sell processed Amla, Karmada, False, Shahtut, forest Kakdi, Jungaljalebi, and vegetables like green chana, Kikoda, Gaurfali, Karela, Ker, Sangari, Kumthi, Panchkutha, Gunda which are all collected from the forest.
