Project report for Custard Apple Cultivation

In India, it is known as 'Sitaphal' and it is estimated that around fifty-five thousand hectares of land are dedicated to custard apple cultivation in India. The major custard apple-growing states are Assam, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra, Pradesh, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu. Total Net Profit in apple per cultivation is 35,000 kg × 15 Rs. Farmers can earn up to Rs 5 lakh per annum from over 200 ber trees. The plant starts bearing fruits in 9 months and gives around two quintals of the fruit a year. In India, the tree is cultivated especially around Kolkata, and grows wild in many areas. It has become fairly common on the east coast of Malaya, and more or less throughout Southeast Scope and importance of custard apple cultivation. Sitaphal has been included in the cultivation of dry fruit trees under the Horticulture Development Scheme related to the employment guarantee scheme launched from Therefore the cultivation of cilantro is an opportunity for the farmers. The custard apple tree can grow from rocky forests to sandy soils. Just as cilantro grows well in very light gardens, it grows well in alluvial soils, alluvial soils, and red soils and even in a variety of soils. However, heavy, black, waterlogged alkaline soils are unsuitable for this fruit tree.

Custard apple is one of the wildly found perishable crop of forest areas. Rajasthan is one of the top ten custard apple growing states in our country. In India, Maharashtra leads the country in custard apple production, with 92,320 tons, followed by Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. It is also grown in Assam, Bihar, Odisha, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Tamil Nadu. Incidentally, in Gujarat it is grown mainly as a boundary crop; it also grows widely in the forests. The sale price of custard apple fruits: Rs 150 per kg. Total income from the farm: Rs 6, 00,000. Profit generated from the initial investment: Rs 2, 98,219. Apart from this income, farmers also could practice intercropping, which would generate an additional 30000 to 50000 rupees as income to the cultivators. While talking about custard apple plants per acre one can plant 250, 400, 500 or more according to land space and need.  However, 400 to 500 plants can produce good results due to sufficient spacing and you can also do mix cropping comfortably. The growth of international food in India is being closely followed by the domestic production of international foods, which itself is growing at 14-16 percent. The Government of India announced to provide seeds and saplings of exotic food ingredients to local farmers, in order to promote this small yet significant sector.
