Kashmir apples are set to be exported soon, as announced by Rahul Gandhi. This initiative aims to boost the local apple industry and provide economic support to farmers in the region.
The move comes amidst efforts to enhance agricultural exports from Jammu and Kashmir, which is renowned for its high-quality apple production. By facilitating these exports, the government hopes to improve the livelihoods of apple growers and strengthen the overall economy of the area.
