Bengaluru: The famous Nanjangud Rasabale, grown in Mysuru and Chamarajangar districts and famous for its unique taste and aroma and also registered under Geographical Indicators (GI), seems to be fast losing its special place in the market as the growing area of the special species of Banana fruit is on a steady decline over the past few months.
Replying to a question by MLC Sandesh Nagaraj, Horticulture Minister Munirathna said that Nanjangud Rasabale which has a GI tag, is now grown in only 12.5 acres, with 18 farmers cultivating the GI tagged fruit.
