One variety. Done properly.
Forty acres planted exclusively with Konkan Bahadoli — the premium large-fruited jamun variety developed by Dr Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth in Bahadoli village, Palghar.
Why Konkan Bahadoli?
Released by Dr Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth (BSKKV), the agricultural university serving the Konkan region of Maharashtra, this cultivar was identified, selected, and propagated from a superior mother tree in Bahadoli village, Palghar district. It is the most widely planted commercial jamun variety in India today — for good reason.
- Large fruit. 25–30 g average, vs. 5–10 g for typical Indian varieties.
- Small seed, high pulp. Pulp-to-seed ratio that processors and eaters both prefer.
- Deep purple skin with bloom. The visual cue buyers' merchandising teams want.
- Sweet, juicy, low-astringency pulp. Drinkable as juice, edible as fruit, ideal for jams and concentrates.
- Consistent ripening window. Harvests cluster in June–August — predictable for supply planning.
