1.3 metric tonnes of Sinduri pomegranates were sent to Dubai.
The shipment consisted of 650 boxes, each weighing two kilograms.
Approximately 600 farmers from Kullu district participated via the Bhuntar Farmer Producer Organisation.
Export sales gave farmers about 50 % higher earnings than local sales.
The effort supports diversification of Himachal Pradesh’s agricultural exports beyond apples.
The produce was collected from roughly 600 farmers belonging to the Bhuntar Farmer Producer Organisation and packed into 650 two‑kilogram boxes.
By exporting, the farmers achieved about a 50 % higher price than the domestic market average.
The initiative highlights how direct procurement and collective action can expand market opportunities for regional growers.
