In a significant boost to the horticulture exports of Jammu & Kashmir, the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), under the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, has facilitated the first export shipment of premium Areko Cherries (High-Density European Sweet Cherries) and Scentrose Plums from the districts of Shopian and Pulwama to Singapore. The milestone follows the successful export of fresh cherries and plums from Jammu & Kashmir to Abu Dhabi and Dubai in the UAE, further expanding the global presence of the region’s premium temperate fruits. APEDA, in collaboration with M/s Osum Food Solutions LLP and M/s Fruit Master Agro Fresh Private Limited, Pulwama, organised a flag-off ceremony for the inaugural shipment to Singapore on 16 July 2026.
