This yearâs cherry season in Kashmir has turned into a silent disaster. Torrential rains have damaged large portions of the crop, while a sharp drop in tourist footfall has collapsed local demand. With crates of unsold cherries piling up and no compensation in sight, farmers say they are on the brink. Yet, amid the loss and uncertainty, they wait hoping the clouds will clear, buyers will return, and the next harvest might bring better days. Kashmir, India.
