Kashmir Valley's mustard crop blooms, farmers expect better income this year
As the mustard fields of the Kashmir Valley bloom in full swing this season, farmers are expecting a better income from decent production.
The favorable winter and timely rains have helped the mustard crop grow well, and today the fields are fully ready.
This news is a welcome relief for farmers who have had to endure years of uncertain weather conditions and fluctuating market prices.
The Department of Agriculture has played a crucial role in this success story by distributing 30,000 tons of mustard seeds for cultivation on 20,170 hectares of agricultural land in the Anantnag district alone.
Furthermore, 142 tons of new varieties and high-breed quality seeds were imported to promote better production.
The seeds provided by the Department of Agriculture have doubled the crop yield and increased farmers' income.
Chief Agriculture Officer Anantnag Aijaz Hussain has rightly pointed out that this success story is the result of continuous efforts by the department and environment-friendly weather.
The department is taking massive steps to further promote mustard cultivation and bring it under the ambit of agri-tourism in the near future.
The tourists visiting the Kashmir valley are already enjoying the beauty of the mustard flowers on the sides of the national highways and on the highways leading to the tourist spots.
The increased production of mustard and the resultant better income for farmers is a positive development for the agricultural sector in the region.
It is also a testament to the hard work and perseverance of the farmers who have braved several challenges to achieve this success.
We hope that this trend continues, and the farmers of the Kashmir Valley are able to enjoy better incomes and a more stable future.
