💨 Abstract

The Jammu and Kashmir government has successfully halted the decline in saffron cultivation, maintaining the saffron-growing area at 3,715 hectares since 2010-11. The National Saffron Mission has revived saffron cultivation, increasing productivity and prices for farmers. However, challenges like irrigation infrastructure and land encroachments persist.
