Jackfruit has been used as a medicine from ancient times. It is long being used in the treatment as antimicrobial and antifungal. However, scientifically none of the above claims are proved and supported. However, people with chronic or acute kidney diseases should avoid the consumption of jackfruit, either raw or cooked.
Moreover, excess consumption can result in the build-up of potassium, resulting in weakness, paralysis, and heart attack. This, in turn, arrested the growth of the global jackfruit market. Moreover, changing climate is also one of the significant factors in the fluctuation in the harvesting of jackfruit.
Fresh Consumption, Beverages, Confectionery, Aroma, and Others are some of the significant applications of jackfruit. Fresh consumption accounted for over 40% share of the total revenue generation of the jackfruit market in 2021. However, jackfruit is growing in popularity to be used as a flavoring or aromatic agent in various food & beverages. Increasing demand for canned food and fruits is also fuelling the growth rate of the global jackfruit market.

The Russia- Ukraine war has little, or no impact on the jackfruit industry as none of these countries are primary producers or consumers. North America and Europe are also expected to witness moderate growth in demand for jackfruit.
