Rs 14-crore daily livestock trade disrupted, Wazwan under stress

Srinagar, Jun 30:As the wedding season reaches its peak in Kashmir, a disruption in the supply of mutton has laid bare one of Jammu and Kashmir's biggest food security challenges - its heavy dependence on livestock imported from outside J&K. The immediate trigger is a dispute over alleged illegal charges imposed on livestock carriers passing through Punjab. However, the crisis has also highlighted the structural gap between Kashmir's appetite for mutton and its limited domestic production. Wholesale mutton dealers have suspended fresh imports of live sheep and goats after alleging that transporters are being forced to pay between Rs 20,000 and Rs 25,000 per truck while crossing Punjab. General Secretary of the Wholesale Mutton Dealers Union, Mehraj Ganie, said traders have been compelled to halt supplies despite the ongoing marriage season. We have stopped importing livestock for the last few days. Whatever stock was available within Kashmir has almost been exhausted. Marriage functions are getting affected, but we have no option. Trucks carrying livestock are being charged Rs 20,000 to Rs 25,000 while passing through Punjab. These charges are illegal and have made transportation unviable, Ganie told Greater Kashmir. According to the union, Kashmir imports nearly 70 truckloads of livestock every day during the peak marriage season. Each truck carries sheep worth around Rs 20 lakh, taking the total value of daily livestock imports to nearly Rs 14 crore during this period. Most of these consignments originate from Rajasthan, Haryana, Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh before entering Jammu and Kashmir through Punjab. Any disruption along this route immediately affects wholesale markets, retailers and consumers across Kashmir. The issue has now reached the highest political level. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has written to the Punjab Government seeking immediate intervention to ensure the smooth movement of livestock transport vehicles through the state. In his letter, the Chief Minister urged Punjab authorities to prevent unauthorised levies and facilitate unhindered movement of livestock carriers, warning that the disruption could adversely affect traders as well as consumers in Jammu and Kashmir. While the current dispute revolves around transportation, it has once again exposed a long-standing weakness in J&K's livestock economy. J&K has consistently failed to produce enough mutton to meet local demand. Available government figures and industry estimates show that J&K produces around 30,000 to 32,000 tonnes of mutton annually, whereas consumption is estimated at 51,000 to 60,000 tonnes every year. This leaves a deficit of nearly 21,000 to 30,000 tonnes. In simple terms, local production meets only about half of the Valley's annual requirement, forcing J&K to depend on imports for roughly 40 to 50 percent of its mutton consumption. Official estimates released over the years present a remarkably consistent picture. Earlier figures showed annual consumption at around 51,000 tonnes against local production of 30,000 tonnes, requiring imports of nearly 21,000 tonnes. More recent estimates indicate that consumption has climbed to nearly 60,000 tonnes while production has remained almost stagnant at around 30,000 tonnes, widening the supply gap further. The shortfall is bridged through the import of live sheep and goats rather than processed meat. Industry estimates indicate that Jammu and Kashmir imports nearly 14 lakh sheep and goats every year. These animals are transported by road, slaughtered within J&K and supplied through local wholesale and retail markets. The annual value of these imports is estimated at around Rs 1400 crore, making mutton one of the largest food commodities imported into J&K. Economists say this also represents a significant outflow of wealth, as hundreds of crores of rupees leave J&K every year to purchase livestock from other states instead of circulating within the local rural economy. Ironically, J&K has one of India's strongest sheep-rearing traditions. J&K accounts for nearly 4.2 percent of the country's sheep population and ranks among the leading sheep-rearing regions. Annual mutton production stands at around 320 lakh kg, equivalent to approximately 32,000 tonnes. However, experts attribute the production deficit to low productivity, dependence on traditional breeds, slower genetic improvement and limited adoption of modern breeding technologies. While natural grazing resources are abundant, meat yield per animal has remained comparatively low. Research studies suggest that dependence on imported livestock is not a recent phenomenon. Academic analyses have shown that imports of sheep and goats have steadily increased since the early 2000s as local production failed to keep pace with rising consumption. The demand for mutton in Kashmir also differs from most other parts of the country.
