Pampore area, which is famed for its saffron production is an attractive destination for tourists who flock to the place during the bloom period when the fields look picturesque due to the maroon, yellow and purple hues of the saffron flowers.
The Minister said that the Central Government is ready to provide all possible help and support to the farmers. With the existence of the spice park, the income out of saffron production of growers has doubled.
