Dahanu - A town by the sea
Dahanu is lined with fruit orchards and is distinctively famous for its Chikoo fruit. Dahanu has been a home to a large number of Chikoo farmers for almost a century. Known as ‘sapodilla’ elsewhere in the world, a member of the Sapotaceae family, Chikoo is one of the most interesting and desirable of all tropical fruit trees. The origin of sapodilla can be traced to Central America and is believed native to southern Mexico. The economy of Dahanu, Gholvad and Bordi survives on its sapodilla plantations as 7 out of 10 Chikoos of the country grow here. These Chikoos are dispatched by train to Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Delhi, Jaipur, Udaipur and Pune.
Also fruits like Coconut, Mango, Lychee, Guava, Grapefruit, Custard Apple, Love Apple, Ice-Apple (Tadgola) and Cashew nut are grown. This makes one wonder how so much variety can grow together.
