Kashmiri Farmers Dry Almonds in Harvest Season - India

A Kashmiri farmer dries almonds during the harvesting season at a village in Pulwama district, south of Srinagar, on August 3, 2025. Almond cultivation is a key agricultural activity in the Kashmir Valley, contributing to the livelihoods of thousands of families. After harvesting, almonds are spread out under the sun to dry, a traditional method used to preserve and prepare the nuts for local markets and export. The season is labor-intensive, requiring manual effort for collection, sorting, and sun-drying. Despite challenges from erratic weather and limited infrastructure, farmers in the region continue to rely on almond production as a vital source of income. The annual harvest is also a symbol of rural resilience and cultural heritage in this conflict-affected region of northern India. Photo by Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM
