Baramulla is one of Kashmir's primary apple-producing districts. The same district sits along traditional Pashmina-trade routes from Ladakh into the Kashmir valley weaving cluster. A combined operator running apple juice/concentrate processing plus a Pashmina aggregation cooperative (cleaning, grading, supplying to Srinagar weavers) captures both heritage agro and craft economies.
Capex of 15-30 lakh covers apple-processing equipment plus Pashmina cleaning/grading area, packaging, and certifications. MIDH (horticulture) plus NHDP (handloom cluster) jointly fund up to 50% capex. Hard parts: managing two distinct operating models, apple harvest seasonality, and Pashmina supply contracts (existing trade has entrenched relationships). Start with apple processing (faster cash flow); Pashmina aggregation in year 2.
