It is Harud (autumn) in Kashmir; walnut-harvesting season. Growers pluck the dry fruit every year in mid-September and send the crop to the markets. Globally, India stands eighth in terms of walnut production. And within India, Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) is the major walnut-producer with annual output of around 2.66 lakh metric tonnes grown on 89,000 hectares; J&K accounts for more than 98 percent of the total walnut production in India.

The video shows Kashmiri workers drying walnuts after cleaning on the outskirts of Srinagar, Indian controlled Kashmir. Locally known as “Doen”, Kashmiri walnuts are organic (a USP of the nuts) as no sprays and fertilisers are used in their cultivation.
