Himachal Pradesh launches 'Pangi Apple' brand for natural farming produce
What happened
Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu launched the 'Pangi Apple' brand initiative in Himachal Pradesh on October 24, 2026, promoting apples grown through natural farming. The Pangi subdivision has been declared the state’s first Natural Farming Sub-Division. The initiative includes providing customized 'Pangi Apple' cartons to farmers at a 50 per cent subsidy.

Why it matters
The initiative aims to establish a distinct identity for apples from Pangi, which previously were marketed under broader names like 'Kullu Apples' or 'Kinnaur Apples'. This effort is intended to strengthen the local economy of the remote tribal region.
