Question

give a brief account on the majot crops of jammu and kashmir​

Answer 1

Livelihood of the majority of the population of the Jammu & Kashmir State revolves around the agriculture and allied sectors.

These sectors constitute the mainstay of the State’s economy and contribute nearly 50 per cent to GSDP.

Over 70 per cent of the population, of more than 1.25 crores depends, directly or indirectly, on agriculture and its allied sectors.

The diversification in the physiographic features and agro-climatic variation at macro- and micro-level, involving cold arid, temperate, intermediate and sub-tropical zones, within a small geographical area of 2.22 lakh sq. km indicates the inherent agricultural potential of the State.

The net sown area (NSA) of 7.35 lakh ha (2009-10) is 35 per cent of the reported area as against the national average of 46 per cent.

About 70 per cent of the net sown area is under the food crops.
