FENI PRODUCTION
Feni all over the world has a certain distinct fame -
Then who, for the poor production, is to blame?
The Goa Government could help by taking every measure,
To encourage marketing abroad this well-known treasure,
And without delay transform it into a Goan brand name.

Subject: [Goanet] Feni, not catching up with the times, unable to
expand market

PANJIM, April 25: Feni -- Goa's unique and traditional alcohol
beverage distilled from the cashew apple -- is showing a sharp decline
in production.
Compared to 1.089 million litres of cashew Feni produced in 1971,
there was just 0.875 million litres produced in 2004.
It is among the best known country liquors in India. Earlier Feni was
considered a "poor man's drink", but is now in demand with tourists
and higher income considers as an "identity drink", says the study.
