Agriculture and horticulture sectors are the main pillars of the economy in Jammu and Kashmir.

Recently LG Manoj Sinha said in Agricultural University of Jammu that his government will modernize the agriculture sector and bring change on the ground level.

He said that focus is on enhancing the capacity of the farmers so they can earn better prices and act as facilitators of economic growth.
