“…In most research, Artocarpus heterophyllus species are believed to originate from the Western Ghats of India, a region known as the foremost producer (Mandave et al, 2018), and cultivation outreach has now stretched to several tropical regions and countries, such as Bangladesh, Burma, Malaysia, Indonesia, Uganda, Thailand, Brazil, and Australia (Fine, 2021;Rao, 2023).
