28 Nov, 2025 News Image South Kashmir’s deep freeze helps farmers protect non-CA stored apples
The intense cold has reduced the risk of spoilage for non-controlled-atmosphere (non-CA) stored apple produce, giving farmers who rely on traditional storage methods a rare advantage. For years, farmers, who are unable to afford high-end CA storage facilities, have had to battle rot, over ripening, and heavy losses when storing apples at home or in makeshift sheds. But this winter, with night temperatures dipping to nearly minus 5°C in parts of Shopian and Pulwama, growers say the natural cold is working as an efficient preservative.
