Indigenous fruit is high in vitamins and minerals. Such fruits are significant because they provide nutrients to the human body. Assam, a state in northeast India, is abundant in indigenous fruits. However, despite the enormous potential of cultivating such fruits in terms of marketing and profitability, the contribution of such local fruits is extremely low. The majority of indigenous fruits are found in Assam's hilly districts such as Karbi Anglong, Dima Hasao, North Cachar Hills, and others. These scarce indigenous fruits contain both nutritional and medicinal benefits. Small farmers in Assam may now improve their income, nutrition, and food security by diversifying their fruit crops towards indigenous fruits. With this background this paper is an attempt to show the existing scenario of widely accessible indigenous fruits, to know how such fruits contribute to food security and to find out the commercial potential of indigenous fruits.
