Srinagar, Mar 17 (KNO): Jammu and Kashmir recorded a total honey production of 17,701.57 quintals in the 2023-24 financial year, with Anantnag emerging as the top-producing district, according to data released by the Agriculture Production Department, J&K. According to data, accessed by the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), with a total of 214,504 functional bee hives across the UT, the honey industry remains a key part of J&K’s agricultural economy, with private beekeepers contributing the majority of the production. Anantnag topped the list with 4,029.06 quintals, followed by Ramban (3,654.80 quintals) and Kupwara (1,140.00 quintals). The contribution of private beekeepers is evident, as government-supported production remains marginal. Jammu produced 1,100.35 quintals of honey, while nearby Udhampur (673.35 quintals) and Doda (370.89 quintals) also made notable contributions. In Kashmir, Pulwama (1,431.00 quintals) and Baramulla (794.64 quintals) emerged as key honey-producing districts. Smaller districts like Reasi (14.95 quintals) and Poonch (25.62 quintals) recorded the lowest output.
