The factsheet provides an overview of jackfruit as a nominated special agricultural product (SAP) for the One Country One Priority Product (OCOP) in Bangladesh. Jackfruit is national fruit and one of the most important as well as widely grown fruits in Bangladesh. It is cultivated in homestead gardens across the country and is easy to grow, being almost disease-resistant. All parts of the jackfruit tree are utilized - the fruit is highly nutritious, the wood is used for furniture, and the leaves, bark and latex have other uses. Bangladesh is the world's second largest jackfruit producer after India. The factsheet identifies opportunities for investment and partnerships in sustainable processing, marketing and promoting domestic cottage industries and international consumption of jackfruit as a healthy food product.
