Apple Industry in Kashmir Valley with reference to District Shopian

The present treatise provides a comprehensive analysis of Apple Industry in Kashmir Valley. Apple production is the main occupation in the Kashmir valley (India). It is pertinent to mention that this sector provides, directly or indirectly, employment to a hollowing number of some 30 lac people. Though, this is the main occupation contributing to states GDP up to a considerable level, still it has not been provided industrial status, owing to ignorance from government side, lack of infrastructure and proper marketing channels and research and development. The Book is outcome of M.Phil research work carried in the Department of Economic, Vikram University Ujjain. The Book is based both Primary and Secondary Data analysis. The book, I hope, will make a valuable addition to the existing body of literature on industrial development of Apple State of Jammu and Kashmir. The book is primarily meant for students pursuing post graduate course in Economics, Agriculture and Research in the subject and allied courses. Equally planners, policy makers and administrators will find it a good addition to their collection on Jammu and Kashmir.
