A video on the strawberry farmers in Kashmir who are facing huge losses due to the lack of market
Kashmir produces around 2,000 to 2,500 metric tonnes of strawberries each year. It is considered as the first fruit crop of the season in Kashmir. Farming strawberries was a profitable venture till the pandemic struck. With the surge in COVID cases, there has been a sharp decline in the tourist inflow, which has severely impacted the market.More Related News
