'The agriculture growth last year was recorded at 3.9 per cent and food processing at 11.18 per cent,' Sinha said while addressing the valedictory session of a multi-stakeholder convention here on holistic development of agriculture and allied sectors in Jammu and Kashmir.
 
Sinha said the farm and allied sectors in Jammu and Kashmir were performing much below their potential in recent years.
 
'J&K administration took several measures to reverse the declining trend by filling credit gaps, diversification, high-density plantation, building storage capacity, market linkages and extension services,' he added.
