Kerala is on a honeymoon with passion fruit. Originally from Brazil, passion fruit has found fertile ground in the state after a government farm first began growing and processing it in a low-key way. Over the past five years, farmers, entrepreneurs and ordinary people have fallen in love with this aromatic fruit. Large sums are being privately invested in passion fruit, that too with no government incentives and subsidies or even any publicity by the agriculture department. Barring vanilla, perhaps no other crop has roused so much interest in so short a time.
Farmers find passion fruit easy to. . .
