Kiwi cultivation in India has been on the rise, but kiwi production was not as widespread as some other fruits. The top kiwi-producing states in India were limited to a few regions.
Himachal Pradesh is one of the leading kiwi-producing states in India. The state’s cool and hilly terrain is suitable for kiwi cultivation, with areas like Solan, Shimla, and Kullu being prominent kiwi-growing regions.
Arunachal Pradesh, with its hilly terrain and favorable climate, is another state where kiwi cultivation has gained popularity. It is known for producing high-quality kiwis.
Sikkim, nestled in the Eastern Himalayas, has also been promoting kiwi farming as a viable agricultural activity in the region.
Meghalaya is among the states in Northeast India that have started cultivating kiwi as a commercial crop along with Nagaland and Sikkim.
Some regions of Jammu and Kashmir, particularly in the hilly areas, have been exploring kiwi cultivation as well. Since the kiwi industry in India has been developing, there may be additional states and regions that have ventured into kiwi farming in recent years.
