You will be surprised that the women’s company has reached one crore annual turnover in a year. The question in your mind will be how the turnover of one crore rupees was achieved.
Significantly, when women formed a company, they started connecting tribal families with it. He entrusted these families with the responsibility of bringing Sitaphal from the forest. Then the women’s company started buying Sitaphal and selling it to national level companies. This Sitaphal is used to make ice cream. Because of this, the business of the company started. Now all the ice cream companies are buying Sitaphal directly from the tribal women’s company. This is the reason why the company was able to do a turnover of crores of rupees in such a short time.

Where is Sitaphal used?
Fruit cream is also prepared from Sitaphal. According to one figure, an average of two and a half tonnes of Sitaphal pulp is produced in Pali area of Rajasthan. From here, Sitaphal is supplied to all the major ice cream companies of the country. Aboriginal women have started extracting Sitaphal now. The company of tribal women is buying this pulp at expensive prices from them. Tribal women who run the company say that we used to see Sitaphal ruined since childhood since then I thought that it is such a good fruit that something can be done. Then an NGO got help and we started working by forming a group. Gradually our business continued to grow. Seeing us making profits, other women also joined our caravan. And today our company has reached this stage.
