Kashmir growers, please stop harvesting immature Gala apples.
Premature harvesting is hurting the entire apple industry. Immature Gala apples have poor taste, lower quality, and a shorter shelf life. Flooding the market with unripe fruit damages consumer confidence and puts downward pressure on prices, affecting apple growers across India.
Let's harvest only fully mature Gala apples and protect the reputation of Indian apples for the benefit of every himachal and kashmir Apple farmer.
