J&K apples dearer, as floods hit supply Mumbai: The floods in Jammu and Kashmir has resulted in shortage or no supply of apples in other parts of the country, and according to traders from the Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) markets in Mumbai and New Delhi, the situation is unlikely to improve in the next 20-25 days. Sarabjeet Singh, APMC market official from Azadpur Mandi in the capital, said, “Due to the calamity in Jammu and Kashmir, no truck has been arriving in the Azadpur market for the last five or six days.” “We are getting apples from Shimla, Kullu and Kinnaur in Himachal Pradesh. There is a possibility of the rates sky-rocketing due to the high demand for apples, as opposed to the low supply,” he added.
