Apple growers across states unite to fight for their rights Several organisations representing the farmers from Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand announced a joint platform against ‘Iranian’ imports
An invasion by “Iranian” apples has hit the apple growers of Kashmir and their long-time rivals from mainland India equally, prompting them to unite to fight for their rights.
These farmers say the countrywide farmer protests inspired them to come together, and that they would eventually join the wider movement against the “corporate threat” to farmers.
Several organisations representing apple farmers from Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand on Friday announced a joint platform, the Hill States’ Horticulture Forum.

As export markets wilt, roses look to bloom on home turf

Trade sees a pick-up in domestic demand this Valentines season
As flight connectivity to the UK and Europe, key markets for Indian roses, remains disrupted on account of Covid, the growers are forced to rely on the domestic market this Valentine’s season.
Valentines is the main season for the rose growers and shipments this year, so far, are only a third of the normal on muted demand.
“We have seen only 30-40 per cent of the normal demand for the season as small exports are taking place to countries such as Australia, Malaysia, Singapore and Dubai. However, there are no exports taking place to Europe, our main market, due to the Covid lockdown” said Shrikant Bollapally, President, Growers Flower Council of India, a growers’ body.
