Produce of Kishtwar
v2.c81.s7.1
Apart from Kashmir valley, Jahangir also made observations on the produce of Kishtwar.
v2.c81.s7.2
'In Kishtwar there are produced much wheat, barley, lentils, millet, and pulse. Differing from Kashmir, it produces little rice. Its saffron is finer than that of Kashmir. About a hundred hawks and falcons are caught there annually. Oranges, citrons, and water-meons of the finest kind are obtained. Its melons are of the same kind as those of Kashmir, and other fruits, such as grapes, apricots, peaches, and sour pears, are grown. If they were cultivated, it is possible they would improve.'
