💨 Abstract

Traditional Kinnaur produce, including dry fruits and organic goods, are losing popularity at the Lavi Fair in Rampur (Shimla) due to a shift towards apple cultivation. Farmers reported a decline in production and rising prices, resulting in losses. New apple varieties are fast-growing and offer quicker returns, causing the area dedicated to dry fruits to shrink.
