Muzaffarpur Farmers Boost Income with Exotic Star Fruit Cultivation

• Muzaffarpur farmers are diversifying from traditional Shahi Litchi to cultivate exotic fruits.
• Progressive farmer Bhushan Kumar from Mushahari block successfully cultivated Florida's Carambola, known as star fruit.
• Star fruit is nutrient-rich, packed with Vitamin C, B, sodium, iron, potassium, and beneficial for health.
• It's available year-round, grows quickly, and fruits ripen in 45-60 days, offering consistent income.
• Bhushan Kumar's success inspires other farmers, like Rajendra Sah, to adopt star fruit for better year-round earnings.

Why It Matters: Star fruit cultivation offers Muzaffarpur farmers a profitable, year-round alternative to seasonal litchi.
