Heavenly fruit: AP techie grows exotic gac plant

FOR the first time in Andhra Pradesh, 30-year-old Boragam Venkat, a panchayat secretary and Adivasi tribal youth from Mamidigondi village in Polavaram mandal of Eluru district, has cultivated the exotic gac fruit. Known globally as "heavenly fruit," the nutrient-rich gac attracts farmers and enthusiasts for its commercial potential and health benefits.

Venkat comes from an agricultural family. His parents Rama Rao and Venkayamma supported his efforts to raise innovative crops.

A BTech Electrical and Electronics Engineering graduate from GIET Engineering College in Rajamahendravaram, Venkat brought gac plants from Kerala in November 2023. By May 2024, the plants began yielding fruit. With help from his parents, wife and son Rithik, he turned his backyard into a gac fruit garden.
