State of Pune.

But the biggest challenge is getting decomposed in a matter of hours from plugging.
So the farmers who cultivate it were able to sell it locally.
But farmers found that the demand for it is much higher in European countries such as Germany.
Farmers who grow figs like this got together and started an export company.
At the same time they actively carried out the necessary research to extend the life of this fig.
Many European and American countries' food researchers and labs were assisted to increase the life-span of the figs.
The victory came after a long struggle.
They were able to extend the life of the figs to 15 days.
The first step was for a German company to buy and sell figs in Germany.
The trial shipment of figs sent by air from Pune to Germany, received in good condition.
Subsequent export orders began to arrive.
This fig is now available all over Germany.
The company encourages farmers here to grow more.
If there is a good yield they have decided to sell this fig which has Indian geographical code all over the European continent.
