2. AT HEBON, IS THE
MINDSET CAUSAL OR
EFFECTUAL IN
DEALING WITH
NEWNESS
AND UNCERTAINTY?
3. EFFECTUAL
The critical problem was the technology so he started
researching pulping
There was no model to study so he made a lot of mistakes
He experimented with the hardness of nylon brushes used
to extract the pulp of the fruit
He made adjustments to the machines available in the
market (i.e., the fruit-pulping machines) made them able to
process jackfruit
4. The first products Koroth introduced were ready-to-serve consumer products such as jackfruit juice which did not
succeed.
The next trial was with powders, such as jackfruit porridge.
Retailers started returning the products from the shelves to Koroth
From March to July 2015, he studied the market. Pulp production continued, and Koroth began pitching his pulp to
local food companies as a processed food ingredient.
Koroth addressed collection and processing challenges by creating pre-processing centres in the surrounding
villages
He started with a pilot project in five villages.
