Sindhudurg grows GI Devgad Alphonso that perishes fast and floods a six-week market. A frozen-pulp and graded export-pack unit extends the season and sells to juice brands and Gulf/diaspora importers year-round.

Sindhudurg is the heart of GI-tagged Devgad Alphonso country, with cashew alongside, but the mango's brutal perishability and compressed season crush farmgate prices at peak. This unit buys Devgad Alphonso (GI) from the district's mango-and-cashew belt and, instead of selling it raw, turns it into frozen pulp and branded export packs through a small pulping, quick-freezing, aseptic-packing and cold-store line. Frozen pulp turns a six-week glut into a twelve-month sellable asset and unlocks export and beverage channels that fresh fruit can't reliably reach. The hard parts: cold-chain integrity from orchard to freezer, GI authentication and pesticide-residue compliance for export, capital tied up in inventory between seasons, and the short window to process at volume. Buyers are juice and dessert brands needing Alphonso pulp, Gulf and US-diaspora importers paying a premium for verified Devgad fruit, and modern-trade frozen sections. Add graded cashew packs as a second SKU line once pulp throughput stabilises.
