Sapota
Manilkara Sapota, popularly known as chikoo or Sapota, is a long-lived, evergreen tree native to southern Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean. The Indian Sapota exporter ships tonnes of these fruits abroad each year. Owing to the multiple uses and health benefits of Sapota, its export from India has been steadily increasing over the years. This growing demand has created a lucrative business opportunity for local farmers and vendors to expand their operations and successfully enter the international market.
