Need to know where to source genuine atemoya grafted plants and whether there is a real market for the fruit.

Atemoya planting material is limited because it is still a niche crop in India, so source grafted plants of a named variety only from genuine, accredited nurseries or horticulture institutes, and confirm the variety and rootstock. Avoid unknown sellers promising guaranteed high returns. On the market, atemoya is sold mainly through premium and specialty fruit channels, urban retail and direct buyers who value its taste, since the general mandi may not recognise or pay for it. Because volumes are small and the fruit is somewhat perishable, line up buyers and handle the fruit carefully. Verify reliable plant sources and realistic market and price information for your area with your KVK and the state horticulture department before planting a large area.
Genuine plants were hard to find, I got mine from a horticulture institute. Selling needs effort too, regular mandi buyers did not value it, direct buyers did.
