Congratulations. As you probably know, artocarpus plants have male and female flowers on same tree. That flower is a male, so now you need to get female flowers to produce fruit.

So, I have to wait till the plant produce both male and female flowers at the same time :-(.BTW, is it possible to pollinate Marang with Wild Jackfruits?

It's normal for male flowers to come out first. Marang and jackfruit do not hybridize easily.
Mine dropped the flowers for Third year in a row! 😂or maybe the fault was on the iguana who I suddenly spot on the tree the day I noticed no more flowers 💐?

Wild Jack pollen easily available here.

Probably you will have to wait for the next year to have female flowers but neve lose hope!
It might be worthwhile planting another Marang as most but not all trees need cross-pollination, fruit with only a few or no arils (0-7 arils ) could eventuate as in my case where I only planted one tree. I have since planted a second tree from a self-fertile form that I obtained from a very grower in North Queensland.
congrats, plant is still small, must be patient
