Apple (Seb) Mandi Prices: National Live Rates & Analysis
Known as the premium fruit of the hills, Apples (Seb) form the true backbone of the horticultural economy in states like Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir. The journey of an apple from a misty orchard to wholesale mandis across India involves a complex supply chain heavily reliant on cold storage and timely transportation.
Scale of Production & Import-Export Balance
🍎 Production Output
India produces roughly 2.5 to 2.8 million metric tonnes of apples annually. Jammu and Kashmir absolutely dominates this metric, producing over 70% of the entire national supply, followed strongly by Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
🛃 Global Trade Impact
While India exports a modest amount to neighbors like Bangladesh and Nepal, it ranks as a major IMPORTER of apples (from places like Washington, Turkey, and Iran). Import duties heavily dictate how expensive domestic apples can be sold in local mandis.
