Nov 21, 2025 Fruit Production In Jammu Region: Blossoming Opportunities Amidst Challenges The Jammu division forms the sub-tropical counterpart to Kashmir’s famed apple belt. The districts like Jammu, Samba, Kathua, Udhampur, Reasi, and Rajouri are predominantly suited for mango, citrus (kinnow and mandarin), guava, litchi, ber, and aonla. In the mid-altitude zones often referred to as the “intermediate belt” farmers cultivate kiwi, olive, anardana, peaches, plums, apricots and pears, while higher elevations in Doda, Poonch, and Reasi support limited but promising temperate fruit plantations such as apple and walnut. According to the Jammu and Kashmir Department of Horticulture, the Union Territory’s total horticultural area has risen from about 3.35 lakh hectares in 2020-21 to around 3.45 lakh hectares in 2023-24, with fruit production increasing from 22.3 lakh metric tonnes to over 26 lakh metric tonnes. The sub-tropical fruit economy of the Jammu region is largely driven by the cultivation of fruits such as mango, citrus (sweet orange, mandarin/kinnow, lime, lemon), guava, litchi, ber, aonla, grapes, and strawberry. As apples continue to dominate the UT’s overall statistics, the sub-tropical fruit economy of Jammu has been steadily gaining ground. Source: https://statetimes.in/
