Introduction India is a vast country with a myriad of cultures. Each culture has its own festivities and food. The amazing variety of Indian food with local ingredients and spices is something we all as Indians can celebrate and appreciate. Factors affecting regional eating habits: Food in any part of the world is affected by some common factors: 1. Geographical location: The geographical location of an area determines its climate and thus affects the local crop or produce. E.g. fish and coconut are easily available in coastal regions while not in mountains. Similarly areas where there is abundant availability of water, rice is grown as this crop requires stagnant water for some time. Similarly, in desert areas fresh produce is sundried and kept for future use and crops requiring less water are produced.

WESTERN GHATS KOKUM FOUNDATION AND ACTIVITIES Till recent past, there had been no specific and systematic efforts to promote cultivation of Kokum throughout the coastal regions of Maharashtra/Goa/Karnataka/Kerala. Whereas considerable attention was paid in promoting mango and cashew along with existing coconut, with various subsidized schemes, as Major Fruit Crops of the region, Kokum was conveniently relegated to the status of Minor Fruit Crop and thus neglected. It was the farming communities of Ratnagiri/Sindhudurg districts of Maharashtra, Sahyadri adjoining talukas of Goa, Sirsi/Puttur and surrounding areas of Karnataka whose livelihood depended on it kept the natural cultivation and processing going. The Western Ghats Kokum Foundation (WGKF) was established with a mission to promote and establish globally Kokum ( Garcinia indica Choicy) as the Commercial Medicinal Fruit Plant of the Western Ghats region, and in turn assist in bringing additional 50,000 hectare land under Kokum cultivation by year 2010, Western Ghats Kokum Foundation (WGKF) was formed by a group of horticulture enthusiasts of the region and was registered as an Agro–Eco Promotion Society (NGO) in Goa in 2001.
