Background InformationWestern Ghats region is one of the biodiversity hot spots of the world. The topography, wide rainfall variation and varied temperature conditions make it home of several plant species. This plant wealth is being used in various forms by tribal and natives of the are a since long. In recent years rain fed orcharding has attracted the attention at national level. These wild fruits gain further importance due to the fact that one or the other kind of fruit is available in ripe form during round the year and serve as a source of food and medicine to tribal’s and also to animals throughout the year. There is no need to emphasis the importance of wild fruit as a source of minerals and vitamins in the diet of the rural under privileged class. The potential productivity and floristic diversity of the area has attracted the experts. Among the edible wild fruits some are even superior to the presently cultivated ones. There are more than 50 wild edible fruit species are available in Western Ghats region. These belong to 25 families, 38 genera and 50 species, but there may be more to be identified. Out of the 25 families the important ones as a source of fruits are Apocynaceae, Anacardiaceae. Euphorbiaceae, Moraceae, Sapotaceae, Sapindaceae. The duration of fruiting period of different species ranged between two to six months. The largest number of species produces fruits in April - May .The availability of these fruits get reduced after October. Some of these fruits have been given emphasis in order to identify superior clones, production technologies. The continuous depletion in forest areas and increasing human interference these species are losing their natural habitat.With this background, College of Forestry Ponnampet, Kodagu (UAHS, Shivamogga), ICAR- Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Bengaluru and Society for Promotion of Horticulture (SPH), Bengaluru are organizing National Seminar on Wild Edible Fruits of Western Ghats- Conservation and Utilization to bring together the knowledge base of researchers engaged in conservation and utilization of wild edible fruits of Western Ghats. The suggestions and recommendations of the researchers from ICAR institutions, SAUs and other institutions would be compiled, which would serve as guide for future course of research and development activities on these species.The ParticipantsThe conference aims to create a platform for exchange of ideas and thoughts among the scientific fraternity, entrepreneurs, farmers, growers, students etc. from ICAR institutes, SAUs, KVKs and other Govt. and Non-Govt. organizations from different parts of the country who have been associated with Wild Edible Fruits of Western Ghats.Technical SessionsThere will be four technical sessions spanning over two days. Each session will have two to three invited lectures from the experts, followed by selected poster presentations & discussions. The participants from different parts of the country are expected to deliberate during the post presentation discussions to share and gain some knowledge, and to finalize the future strategies for conservation and utilization of wild edible fruits.

Background Information
Western Ghats region is one of the biodiversity hot spots of the world. The topography, wide
rainfall variation and varied temperature conditions make it home to several plant species. This
plant wealth is being used in various forms by tribal and natives of the area since long times. In
recent years, rain fed orcharding has attracted the attention at national level. These wild fruits gain
further importance due to the fact that one or the other kind of fruit is available in ripe form all
round the year and serve as a source of food and medicine to tribals and also to animals throughout
the year. There is no need to emphasis the importance of wild fruit as a source of minerals and
vitamins in the diet of the rural under privileged classes. The potential productivity and floristic
diversity of the area has attracted many experts. Among the wild edible fruits, some are superior
to the cultivated ones. There are more than 50 wild edible fruit species are available in the Western
Ghats region. These belong to 25 families, 38 genera and 50 species, but there are many more to
be identified. Out of the 25 families, the important ones as a source of fruits are Apocynaceae,
Anacardiaceae. Euphorbiaceae, Moraceae, Sapotaceae, and Sapindaceae. The duration of the
fruiting period of different species ranged between two to six months. The largest number of
species produce fruits during April - May .The availability of these fruits get reduced after October.
Some of these fruits have been given emphasis in order to identify superior clones, production
technologies. The continuous depletion of forest areas and increasing human interference is
leading to the loss of their habitat.
With this background, College of Forestry Ponnampet, Kodagu (UAHS, Shivamogga), ICAR-
Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Bengaluru and Society for Promotion of
Horticulture (SPH), Bengaluru organized a National Seminar on Wild Edible Fruits of
Western Ghats- Conservation and Utilization from 2-3rd March 2018 to bring together the
knowledge base of researchers engaged in conservation and utilization of wild edible fruits of
Western Ghats and to deliberate on the strategies for their conservation and utilization.
Technical Sessions
There were four technical sessions spanning over two days. Each session had two to three invited
lectures from the experts, followed by selected oral and poster presentations & discussions. A
separate session for scientist- planters/farmers interaction was organized during the seminar.
Theme areas of the seminar are follows:
• Status of wild edible fruits and their ethno-botanical knowledge in Western Ghats
• Conservation and utilization of genetic wealth of wild edible fruits in Western Ghats
• Processing and value addition of wild edible fruits in Western Ghats
• Supply chain management and marketing of wild edible fruits.

fruit species in coffee based cropping system-CAFENET
Experience. He mentioned that, there are many wild edible
fruits in coffee agroforestry systems and unless there is
some economic importance, farmers will not conserve
these wild fruits. Hence, there is an urgent need to develop
some value added products like vinegar (Kachampuli)
from Garcinia gummi-gutta. Wild fruits can be used as one
of the elements in Landscape labelling of Coffee farms in
the process of certification.
