Annexure Western Ghats Kokum Foundation Till recent past, there had been no specific and systematic efforts to promote cultivation of Kokum (Garcinia indica Choisy) throughout the coastal regions of Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka and Kerala. While considerable attention z-s been paid in promoting mango and cashew along with existing coconut, with ir.ous subsidized schemes as major fruit crops of the region, Kokum was conveniently relegated to the status of minor fruit crop or spice and thus neglected. It was the farming community of Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg districts of Maharashtra, Sahyadri adjoining talukas of Goa, Sirsi, Ankola, Puttur and five grounding areas of Karnataka whose livelihood to some extent depended on Kokum kept the natural cultivation and processing going. The Western Ghats Kokum Foundation (WGKF) was established with a mission to promote and broadcast globally Kokum as a commercial medicinal fruit produce of the Western Ghats region, and in turn assist in bringing additional 50.000 hectare land under Kokum cultivation by year 2010. The Western Ghats Kokum Foundation was formed by a group of horticulture enthusiasts of the region as a registered non-governmental Agro-Eco Promotion Society in Goa during 2001. The timely initiative taken by Western Ghats Kokum Foundation with help from Dr.. Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidhyapeeth, Dapoli, Maharashtra, resulted in organizing the first ever National Seminar on Kokum in Vengurla, Maharashtra, in May 2001. This brought Kokum into focus and set the momentum rolling with scientific evaluation of elite varietal selection, propagation, quality grafts production and their supply to farmers of the region, etc., the activities being partly sponsored by the WGKF. Simultaneously the Foundation promoted development of non-traditional value-added products such as Kokum wine with a research project to Goa University. The international attention that Kokum, with its Hydroxy Citric Acid content, is 'receiving as an anti-obesity fruit has resulted with one of the WGKF associates receiving trial order from a EU country, of supplying 300 tonnes of Kokum juice during the current year. In the last two years, governments, both at the center and the state level have taken notice of the potential of Kokum cultivation and processing in the region and accordingly initiated implementing various schemes through District Rural Development Agencies, Agriculture and Forest Departments, Self-help Groups and progressive farmers. Recent recognition that Kokum is a fruit tree rather than a spice, by the National Horticulture Board, Government of India, is a welcome change. Specific Objectives of the Foundation are: 1. To promote research and development in propagation, cultivation and commercial exploitation of Kokum, particularly throughout the Western Ghats of India and in general around the country. 109 Resource Book on Kokum (Garcinia indica Choisy) Western Ghats Kokum Foundation, Panaji - Goa
2. To develop and standardize crop improvement methods, propagation, production and post harvest technologies and medicinal value of Kokum. 3. To interact with farmers, local government, local bodies to encourage cultivation of Kokum and produce value added traditional/non traditional products. 4. To interact with institutions, local / national international, government and nongovernment organizations in promoting research and development in all aspects of Kokum cultivation and commercial exploitation. 5. To build up and mobilize high quality scientific and technical manpower to undertake modern horticultural practices for Kokum. 6. To develop intellectual property on Kokum and enjoy the benefits from it for the agricultural community at large and 7. To bring WGKF to the level of an apex body in Kokum. The main personalities associated with WGKF are : - Dr. Ajit Shirodkar Chairman - Mr. P. G. Kakodkar Vice Chairman - Mr. Ashok Joshi Hon. Secretary - Mr. Miguel Braganza Hon. Jt.
