Ganderbal: In the remote corners of Central Kashmir’s Ganderbal district, a remarkable agricultural transformation is underway.
On the outskirts of Kangan, farmers usually traditionally relied on walnut cultivation. However, after adapting to changing weather patterns, resilient locals have diversified their crops. Over the past several years, farmers have undertaken a remarkable feat, replacing barren landscapes and vegetable cultivation with flourishing apple orchards.
Local farmers attest to the region’s favorable climate for apple cultivation, highlighting the promise of increased income and profitability. The Jammu and Kashmir administration has actively thrown its support behind the promotion of fruit cultivation in the valley, presenting an inspiring model for farming practices in these challenging terrains.
As apple blossoms, this agricultural evolution not only augurs well for the economic prosperity of the region but also showcases the resilience and innovation of the local farming community. The once snow-covered landscapes now bear witness to a fruitful future, thanks to the vision and determination of the farmers and the support of the regional administration.
