National Bank of Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) is organising a two days Apple Festival 2.0 from 9-10 Oct 2025 in Dehradun at its office. NABARD had previously organized a one-day ‘Apple Festival 1.0’ last year.
The aim of this festival is to provide a platform to connect apple and kiwi producing farmers and farmer producer organizations in the state of Uttarakhand directly with the customers. Encouraged by its success, ‘Apple Festival 2.0’ is also being organized this year.
NABARD has promoted Farmer Producer Organizations and Self-Help Groups of marginal and small farmers in the state. In this festival, ‘A’ grade Royal Delicious, Red Delicious, and Golden Delicious apples produced by NABARD-supported Farmer Producer Organization of Harshil Valley, kiwi fruit produced through natural methods by the farmers of Kapkot, and a variety of excellent hill products — including walnuts, kidney beans, GI-tagged items, juices, pickles, handloom products, and herbs — from other Farmer Producer Organizations and Self-Help Groups will be available for purchase.
