A truck carrying 2,000 kilograms was despatched to Bengaluru, Karnataka under the One District, One Product (ODOP) initiative of the Commerce ministry.<br />''<br />''Kashmir accounts for 90 per cent of the country's walnut production. With their superior quality and taste, the Kashmiri walnuts are a great source of nutrients and hence widely in demand across the globe. There is immense potential for this product to make its place in the local and global markets.<br />''<br />''Recognizing that walnuts were being imported into India on a large scale despite the availability of Kashmir walnuts, the ODOP team has begun an in-depth market analysis and stakeholder consultations in Kashmir.</span><br />
