Himachal Pradesh is widely recognized as the ‘Fruit Bowl’ of India due to its significant contribution to fruit production, especially apples, plums, peaches, apricots, cherries, etc. The suitable climate and terrain support extensive horticulture.

Horticulture is a major contributor to the state’s economy, providing livelihoods to a large section of the population and contributing substantially to the state’s GDP.

While other states also produce fruits, Himachal Pradesh’s specialization and large-scale production of temperate fruits, particularly apples, have earned it this popular epithet.
