Abstract:
Historically, agriculture has been viable and sustainable industry in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. It has traditionally been the predominant sector in the Kashmir valley which supports around above 70 per cent of its population. This region has its own specific geo-climatic condition, which determine the cropping pattern and its productivity. Allied activities like horticulture, dairy development, fisheries, livestock and sericulture also play significant role in the agriculture sector.This study is about the production and cultivation capacity of agriculture in the Kashmir valley. There has been tried to assess the existing agricultural yielding as well as the cultivation capacity of culturable land in this region. There are taken few selected indictors for this study in order to analyse the cultivation and production of agriculture in districts of the Kashmir valley.
