Ladakh is the largest apricot producer in India — one of the region’s most important fruit crops and locally known as ‘Chuli’– with a total production of 15,789 tons, accounting for nearly 62 percent of total production
The Ministry of Commerce and Industry, through its export promotion body APEDA, is keen to boost apricot exports from Ladakh under the brand ‘Ladakh Apricot’. It may be pointed out that Ladakh is the largest apricot producer in India — one of the region’s most important fruit crops and locally known as ‘Chuli’– with a total production of 15,789 tons, accounting for nearly 62 percent of total production.
The region produced approximately 1,999 tons of dried apricots, making it the country’s largest producer of dried apricots.
The Ministry of Commerce and Industry will provide help for continued marketing, product development, research and development (R&D), traceability enhancement, and brand promotion of apricots
The moves by APEDA to boost export of apricots and other agri-products augur well for the region’s development. The export promotion strategy focuses on the canopy management of apricot orchards/trees in order to achieve a more uniform and high-quality apricot harvest.
The Ministry of Commerce and Industry will provide help for continued marketing, product development, research and development (R&D), traceability enhancement, and brand promotion of apricots.
