In 2020-21, over 64,879.26 metric tonnes of apples and 3,67,309.04 metric tonnes of potatoes were produced in Uttarakhand, a large chunk of it in Chamoli district. But, due to a lack of cold storage units, farmers are forced to sell their produce at a very low rate. Setting up cold storage facilities can cut down post harvest losses and increase farmers' income.

According to the horticulture department, J&K, area under horticulture has jumped from 82,486 hectares in 1975 to 330,956 ha in 2021. The cultivation of paddy is on a decline, as farmers and experts say horticulture brings in more profits. But there is a flip side too — farmers have to buy rice from the market.

वर्ष 2019 में जम्मू-कश्मीर ने 19 लाख मीट्रिक टन सेब की पैदावार की थी, जो देश के किसी भी राज्य से ज्यादा है। सेब की खेती से प्रत्यक्ष और अप्रत्यक्ष रूप से 20 लाख से ज्यादा लोगों को रोजगार मिलता है। ऐसे में ईरानी सेबों का बिना टैक्स के बाजारों में बिकना इनके लिए बड़ी मुसीबत बन सकता है।
