The Kashmir region plays a crucial role in India’s apple supply, contributing nearly 80% of the country’s production. However, a significant bottleneck has emerged. A total of 4,000 trucks carrying apples are currently stranded along the key highway connecting the region to major markets. This blockage is impacting the livelihoods of numerous apple growers and threatens the region’s agricultural economy. Authorities are investigating the cause of the obstruction, with potential logistical challenges impacting transportation routes. The long-term effects of this disruption are currently under assessment.
