A Kashmiri farmer sprays pesticides on apple trees in an orchard in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 10, 2026. Kashmir's agriculture sector, particularly apple farming, forms the backbone of its economy, sustaining a significant portion of the rural population. The region's vast orchards provide livelihoods to thousands of farming families and contribute substantially to local and national markets. The sector faces challenges such as unpredictable weather patterns and supply chain constraints. Meanwhile, the conflict in West Asia involving the United States, Israel, and Iran is driving a 20-25% increase in pesticide and crop protection chemical costs in India for the 2026 Kharif season. Supply chain disruptions and rising shipping costs through key routes are causing raw material shortages for Indian manufacturers, raising risks of supply shortages, reduced crop yields, and the proliferation of fake products.

A Kashmiri Muslim woman devotee reads the Quran inside the Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jeelani shrine on the first day of the holy fasting month of Ramadan in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on February 19, 2026. The Muslims' holy fasting month of Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar, and it is believed that the revelation of the first verse in the Quran occurs during its last 10 nights. Muslims celebrate it yearly by praying during the nighttime and abstaining from eating, drinking, and sexual acts during the period between sunrise and sunset. It is also a time for socializing, mainly in the evening after breaking the fast, and a shift of all activities to late in the day in most countries. Meanwhile, apple growers across Kashmir voice deep concern over the proposed India-United States interim trade agreement, warning that easier market access for American apples could sharply undercut local produce and threaten the backbone of the region's rural economy.
