Experts at CII meet flag roadblocks in Kashmir apple cart’s global ambition
Experts from the Confederation of Indian Industry met to discuss obstacles hindering Kashmir’s ambition to become a global apple exporter. They highlighted the region’s narrow four‑month harvest window and inadequate cold‑chain infrastructure that compromises fruit quality. Dr. N.K. Krishna Kumar, former ICRISAT horticulture director, noted that these logistical gaps limit the market reach of Kashmiri apples.
