In the Kashmir valley, the almond crop also witnessed a drop in production this year due to the unfavorable weather conditions. An orchardist stated: "Almond production is reduced by 30 percent this year compared to last year. However, the production is satisfactory if compared to the past several years."
He said that the production is less compared to last year. From 2014 to 2019, the production of almonds remained low due to weather vagaries and uncertain circumstances, and farmers could not concentrate much on their orchards, resulting in the production remaining very low.
"This year the production is satisfactory, and farmers are taking care of their orchards with the improvement in atmosphere that helps to get good production of the crop," he concluded.
