# Erratic weather, change in rain & snow patterns hit production of dry fruits in Kinnaur

> Erratic weather and shifting snowfall and rain patterns have reduced dry fruit output in Kinnaur district, Himachal Pradesh. Locals report that flowering-season damage has left this year's production of apricots, almonds, walnuts and chilgoza below 2025 levels. Chilgoza (pine nut) prices have risen to Rs 2,000 per kg from Rs 1,600 per kg a year earlier.

## Why it matters

This is a small, localized supply shortfall in niche dry fruits with limited relevance to feed grain or oilseed markets. It has no meaningful direct effect on feed commodity prices.
