Olive in Norteast India

[nebita]

Hi,

  I am Nebita currently living in bangalore, basically from north estern part of India. Back in my hometown there is a olive tree alike which bears the similar olive fruits. I am not so sure whether it is an olive tree or some other similar trees. As per the research it says olive tree doesnt grow in India and they are planning to grown in Rajasthan. But i doubt this can be true because i really want to research on this particular fruit which grows in my hometown. The fruits feature is exactly the same as an original olive fruits. If this is the right olive fruit then we can start cultivating more and start a new olive business in India. Could you please advise on this thought what can we proceed further? I can get the sample of the fruits from my place and it can be examine here. But i dont know anybody to contact in this regards, it will be great if anyone can help me out with this. Thanks
