Mumbai,(PTI) - Maharashtra government is considering proposals to make wine from wild berries (Karvand), found mainly in coastal Konkan region.
"We will positively consider any proposals to make wine from wild-berries and if possible... capital in the 1:9 ratio would be made available for the business," Water Resources Minister Ajit Pawar informed the Legislative Council today.
The government's intention is to help farmers make profit, he said.
The government last week announced in the Council it would consider a proposal for making liquor from jowar, cashew fruit, 'jamun' (java plum) and 'chikoo'.
