Turkish News: After ‘Operation Sindur’, Turkish apples have started in India. Apple farmers and exporters in Kashmir are very happy with this buyer. They believe that the fruits produced in their gardens are always the price they always want. Kashmir is a major apple manufacturer of India and is one of the most important in the production of Apple in the country. In addition, apple cultivation is an important part of the economy and culture of Kashmir.
Farmers are excited in south Kashmir
There are many apple gardens in the Shobian district of south Kashmir, where farmers here are looking at new growth. After many years of uncertainty, Bashir Ahmed, a garden here, is excited about the weather in May. He believes that many apples like him this year are different. Kashmir’s gardens and markets know the same hope. In Operation Sindur, Turkey supports Pakistan, and then there is anger against him all over India. This anger is found in the country’s fruit mundis, where many changes are taking place, all in the center of Turkey.
Once, Turgia’s Apple dominated India’s fruit market, but now it is moving from Prayagraj to Pune. At the Major Mandis from Delhi to Mumbai, retailers have already begun to remove Turkish apples from the shelves. Importers have expressed a huge decline. Meanwhile, the orders of Kashmir apples have increased even in off-serial.
Kashmir apples dried in storage
Kashmir, which contributes one -third of India’s total apple production, is watching its producers due to foreign competition. Turkish apples often come to India during the peak months of crop harvesting due to low wages and better logistics. It reduces prices and often drys in local yield storage. In the financial year 2023-24, Turkey contributed 23 % of all Apple imports in India. The year alone was sent to over 129,000 metric tons.
Good yields in good season
Kashmir makers have always felt its impact. According to Apple’s farmers, they kept watching the buyers leaving their products. Buyers have always given importance to cheap apples instead of Kashmir’s apple. Now that Turgia’s apples are outside the film, Kashmir’s farmers look at their market with confident eyes. According to officials of the Jammu and Kashmir Horticulture Department, light spring and low insect pressure have been one of the best flowering seasons in the recent past.
Chance to prove yourself
The Turkish neglect, the second largest fruit market of Asia, can be felt by the Turkish boycott. Fiaz Malik, president of the Sopor Fruit Crover Association, gives another important reason to improve the infrastructure. He says that the road has been changed to communication and the best transport game. For the first time, our apples reach the timely markets. Shafi says Sofor’s gardener, despite this round pakkat only in a season, is still a great opportunity. In this soil, we can prove that our apples are carefully developed in this weather.
