While seeking the ban on Iranian apples in the country, the traders also staged a protest demonstration on Monday at fruit trade, stating that the import of Iranian apples to india has completely downgraded the fruit industry of Kashmir.

“Since the last few months, it has badly affected our local fruit industry as the apples which were being sold at suitable prices are now being sold at less price. This has left all the fruit traders here worried, “the protesters told news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO)

“The apple trade in Kashmir is a biggest trade on which economy of Kashmir runs and if it will be downgraded the business infrastructure of Kashmir will also crumple, “the protesters said.

They said that the Apple industry was already suffering since last fews years due to the Covid-19 lockdown and uncertainty and now importing Iranian apples and sideling local production is not only a headache for us but is affecting us badly.

“The apples coming from the Iran enters market without tax while the same time the local local fruit growers pay their taxes regularly, “Mudasir Ahmad, a local apple trader said, adding that the government should ban it very soon.
