Horticulture Season İn Kashmir
A shovel is placed in an apple orchard during a break as Kashmiri men work in the apple orchards using fertilizers such as Urea, DAP, Potash, and Calcium for better yield in Baramulla, Jammu and Kashmir, India, on April 28, 2026. Fertilizer prices have increased significantly in 2026 due to Middle East conflicts affecting supply chains and doubling import costs for essential nutrients. India has approved a INR41,534 crore subsidy for the 2026 Kharif season to stabilize DAP and other complex fertilizer prices for farmers. (Photo by Nasir Kachroo/NurPhoto)
