The government’s decision to establish a centre for disease-resistant fruit trees in Kashmir is a welcome move that can have a significant impact on the region’s horticulture sector. The centre will focus on developing fruit tree varieties that can withstand diseases, reducing crop losses and minimizing the use of chemical pesticides.

This initiative can help improve the quality and quantity of fruits produced in Kashmir, enhancing the livelihoods of local farmers and contributing to the region’s economy. By developing disease-resistant fruit tree varieties, the centre can help farmers adapt to changing environmental conditions and improve their resilience to diseases.

The establishment of this centre demonstrates the government’s commitment to supporting the horticulture sector in Kashmir and promoting the region’s agricultural development. It can have a positive impact on the local economy, improving the lives of farmers, rural communities, and consumers alike.

The centre’s research and development activities can also lead to the creation of new job opportunities in the field of horticulture and plant breeding, benefiting the local youth and contributing to the region’s economic growth. Overall, this initiative has the potential to transform Kashmir’s horticulture sector and improve the lives of those dependent on it.
