Roads blocked, Himachal apple growers in peril
The Morning Standard
|September 14, 2025
HIMACHAL Pradesh's ₹5,000 crore apple industry has been severely impacted this season after relentless monsoon rains wreaked havoc across the state.
Farmers are grappling with poor fruit quality, damaged infrastructure, and plummeting market prices, creating one of the toughest harvest seasons in recent years.
Continuous rainfall triggered the outbreak of a fungal disease, which has led to premature leaf and apple drop in orchards across the state. Transportation of apples has come to a near standstill in many areas due to landslides, flash floods, and cloudbursts that destroyed vital road networks. Apple-growing regions such as Kullu, Kinnaur, Shimla, Mandi, Chamba, and upper Shimla are particularly affected.
