Tosamaidan Forum welcomes approval for 2500 MT CA store at Sopore

Budgam, April 6: Tosamadian Development Fourm has hailed the  decision of JKHPMC for approving the 2500 MT CA store at Sopore and has demanded a similar store to be set up in Budgam.

Bhat Riyaz Chairman Tosamaidan Development Forum said that “no large or small CA store has been set up in Budgam district, as  high quality and large quantities of apples are being produced annually in Budgam district. High quality apples are being produced in some areas of Budgam near Pirpanchal and are fresh for a long period of time because the area has well-distributed rainfall of 1000-1250 mm throughout the growing season.” 

 “The farmers in the upper reaches of Budgam have converted vast paddy and maze land into apple orchards and are growing Modified High-Density Plantation to  improve the quality and yield in their orchards and also to spend negligible amount on weeds and pesticides, besides early bearing of disease-free fruit. Consumers want sweet crisp apples that are consistent and this is hard to achieve with traditional techniques said Gulzar Ahmad Advisor to Chairman added that There is dire need to pay attention towards Budgam district and we feel the need for high technology and CA stores”, he added.
