Need to know where to source genuine persimmon plants and how and where to sell the fruit.

Persimmon is propagated by grafting onto suitable rootstock, so buy grafted plants of a named variety from an accredited nursery or a government or university horticulture farm rather than chance seedlings. Availability of good planting material can be limited because it is a minor crop, so order in advance and confirm the variety. On selling, the fruit goes mainly to local and regional markets, hill-area traders, and urban specialty retail, with the non-astringent types being easier to sell since they can be eaten firm. Being seasonal and somewhat perishable, good grading, careful handling and timing help the price. Because the market is still niche, plan your outlets early. Verify reliable plant sources and current market options and prices for your area with your KVK and the state horticulture department.
I got my grafted plants from a government farm. For selling, the firm-eating type moves faster in the market here than the soft astringent kind.
