Walnut harvesting is on in the Valley and growers are hopeful of good walnut season this year. Over 98 percent of India's total walnut produce comes from J&K. Three types of walnuts are grown in the Valley: Vonth, Kaghazi and Barzul.
In Kashmir, walnuts are grown organically as well. These are primarily exported to United Kingdom, Netherlands and France, besides some other countries. J&K grows and harvests about 266,000 tons of walnuts annually. They are grown in trees spread across 89,000 hectares of agricultural land.
