This is expensive to grow and only in some parts of the
Kashmir valley

Yet some enterprising farmers have experimented and succeeded in
growing these crops despite the unfavourable climatic conditions.
Cashew is being grown in Saurashtra and South Gujarat while Anand
Agricultural University has been successful in growing saffron, albeit
in greenhouses on its farm. Incidentally, saffron has long been
associated with Kashmir and its climate.
Businessman Rustom Cama has recently joined farmers in experimenting
with different crops.
Apples generally grow in places like Himachal Pradesh where the
climate is damp and cold. But he has been successful in growing around
100 apple trees on his arid farmland near Mount Abu.
