Jammu & Kashmir continues to advance its agricultural and horticultural sectors through modernization, improved infrastructure, and farmer-centric initiatives. The Union Territory’s renowned apple industry remains a key economic pillar, supported by high-density plantations, cold storage facilities, and better market linkages. Government programs are promoting crop diversification, organic farming, irrigation improvements, and technological adoption to enhance productivity and income.
Investments in post-harvest management and value-added processing are further strengthening the sector. These developments are helping farmers increase competitiveness while contributing significantly to rural employment, food security, and the region’s overall economic growth.
