Farmers in Hanumangarh and Sriganganagar districts are seeing a bumper production of kinnow fruit. According to an estimate, about 4.25 lakh metric tonne production of kinnow is expected in Sriganganagar and nearly 1 lakh metric tonne in Hanumangarh this season. The last time production was so good was in the year 2019," said an officer of the horticulture department. Kinnow production is likely to see a jump from last year’s 1.2 mln tons to 1.35 mln tons this season in Punjab. Growers in the State are worried over the drop in kinnow price in the ongoing season compared to last year.
