NITI Aayog calls for 'Operation Golden Green' to boost J&K's horticulture sector, increase exports

Government think tank NITI Aayog on Wednesday pitched for 'Operation Golden Greens' - a project for the horticultural sector's transformation in Jammu and Kashmir and increase exports of apple, walnut, almond and saffron.

The report, titled 'Roadmap for Horticulture Development in the UT of Jammu and Kashmir', further said that J&K's horticultural products pose significant global trade potential.

"However, India's presence in global markets for these commodities remains limited, with increasing import dependence and stagnant or declining exports," it said.
