Mustang Apple Exports Affected by Heavy Rains and Road Closures

Mustang. Only 30 percent of apples produced in Mustang have been exported out of the district. Apple exports were affected due to floods, landslides, and river erosion caused by heavy rains on October 11, which blocked the Beni-Jomsom road for two weeks.

Due to the road blockage, significantly less apple produced here has been exported compared to the same period last year. Apples have started being sent to the market since the road became operational.
