ko nuksan pahunchayega aur unse koi consultation nahi kiya gaya. Kashmir mein apple industry bahut important hai aur ye tourism se bhi zyada revenue generate karta hai. Recent saalon mein, industry ko climate change, transportation delays, aur low prices jaisi challenges ka samna karna pada hai. US se apple import pe 20% tariff waive karne ka government ka decision ne situation ko aur bhi kharab kar diya hai, jisse local produce ki prices mein girāwat aayi hai.
