Himachal Pradesh is expected to produce 50 lakh cases of apple more than last year. However, the setting of apple in the high altitude areas of the state is underway. Last year, 25 million boxes of apples were produced. This year around 30 million boxes of apples are estimated to be produced.
While rain-snowfall, hailstorm and hailstorm caused heavy losses to the farmers-gardeners, the vegetables and fruits of the farmers-gardeners either rotated in the fields or got stuck in the trucks due to the closure of traffic due to Corona. It has suffered heavy losses. This loss will make more yield of apple. Economy of gardeners will improve.
The apple production was expected to be higher in the state, but the snowfall and hail of April caused major damage to the crop. Although most gardeners planted antiheal nets to protect the apple crop from hail, hail has not only destroyed the halents, but also the fruitful trees.
Harish Chauhan, president of Himachal Pradesh Vegetable and Fruit Growers Association, says that earlier this year, the apple crop was expected to be good. April s snowfall and hail caused major damage. Setting of apples in height is happening right now.
This time apple yield is expected to be good in the state. Approximately 30 million cases of apple yield are estimated. Only after setting the apple in height will you know how much apple will be- JP Sharma, Director of Horticulture, Himachal Pradesh
