    Solution

    Turkey is the largest producer of figs in the world with 0.3 million tonnes. In India fig farming is mostly done in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. For the first time, fresh figs from Purandar taluka of Maharashtra’s Pune district with GI tags have been exported to Europe. The Purandar Highlands Farmers Producers Company (PHFPC) has managed to successfully export a consignment to Germany. The export was facilitated by the Maharashtra State Agriculture Marketing Board (MSAMB). The first shipment was sent to Pilz Schindler GmbH, located in Hamburg, Germany. FPC has been conducting trials with StePac, a packaging solution company from Israel, as well as Bayer Crop Sciences’ food chain department.
