For the purpose of having better productivity in the horticulture sector, we started our own nurseries in 2014, to Welcome to the heart of innovation in horticulture! In 2014, we embarked on a journey to revolutionize the sector by establishing our own nurseries dedicated to cultivating top-tier plants. Our primary focus lies in the production of Europe-based clonal rootstock apple trees, where precision and passion converge to yield unparalleled results.

At every stage of a plant's growth within our nurseries, meticulous care is taken to ensure the highest quality and a diverse range of varieties. Our commitment goes beyond conventional practices; we invest in new varieties and mutations, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in plant cultivation. This dedication allows us to provide farmers with an extensive selection, each one a testament to our unwavering pursuit of excellence.

Through strategic partnerships and patent agreements with leading European nurseries, we've broadened our scope to encompass apples, pears, and cherries. These collaborations enable us to offer a spectrum of premium options, giving our customers access to the latest and most sought-after varieties in the market.

In our pursuit of excellence, we prioritize not only the quality of our produce but also the health of the plants we nurture. Our rigorous phyto-sanitary processes ensure that every plant leaving our nurseries is not just exceptional but also robust and disease-free.

Our Vision

Recognizing the profound impact horticulture can have on transforming lives, we at Ruvaan are driven by a powerful vision. We acknowledge the existing gaps preventing the sector from realizing its full potential and have taken it upon ourselves to bridge the divide between the current reality and the untapped possibilities.

Founded in the picturesque landscapes of Kashmir, Ruvaan is more than a venture – it’s a catalyst for change. We’ve already set in motion a series of initiatives that are poised to trigger a ripple effect, resulting in groundbreaking advancements across the agriculture sector. This, in turn, has far-reaching implications for numerous families directly and indirectly associated with it.

At the heart of Ruvaan lies a commitment to human empowerment. Our mission extends beyond the cultivation of crops; it’s about reshaping the socio-economic fabric of society. We aim to empower farmers by providing cutting-edge pre-harvest solutions, and aligning our horticulture sector with global standards. Through this alignment, we not only elevate the industry but also uplift the livelihoods of thousands of families, creating a positive domino effect that resonates throughout the agricultural landscape.

Our Mission

Nursery

Cultivating Transformation in Jammu and Kashmir's Agricultural Landscape

At Ruvaan, our mission is to revolutionize the horticultural economy of Jammu and Kashmir. We are committed to delivering the highest quality planting material directly to the farmers through our state-of-the-art nurseries.

Aligned with Global Sustainability Goals

Our goals are not just local; they are in complete harmony with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs). We aim to contribute significantly to achieving food security, improving nutrition, and promoting sustainable agriculture. Our mission is a testament to our commitment to fostering sustainable consumption and production patterns in the region.

A Catalyst for Socio-Economic Upliftment

Our focus on the horticulture industry goes beyond just planting trees; it's about sowing the seeds of change. The horticulture industry is a powerhouse for job creation, with one hectare of an orchard generating an impressive 400 man-days annually. This, in turn, supports 3.3 million individuals who are directly or indirectly dependent on it for their livelihoods. By uplifting thousands of families out of poverty, we are not only transforming the landscape but also paving the way for a better tomorrow.

At Ruvaan, we believe in cultivating not just plants but opportunities, sustainability, and prosperity for the communities we serve. Join us in nurturing a future where agriculture isn't just a source of sustenance but a force for positive change. Together, we sow the seeds of transformation.

HIGH DENSITY PLANTING (HDP)

Transforming an orchard into a High-Density Plantation (HDP) is more than just a numerical shift in tree density. It’s a strategic approach that redefines productivity and accelerates fruit yield. While the conventional definition pegs HDP at 150-160 trees per kanal, an orchard goes beyond this threshold, setting a new standard for efficiency.

In the realm of orchards, the HDP system is a paradigm shift, where the emphasis is not just on the number of trees but on a radical increase in productivity. Picture a canvas where every square inch contributes to a bounty of fruits – a meticulous orchestration of nature’s potential. This isn’t just about planting more; it’s about planting smarter.

In the world of commercial orchards, where time is money, the HDP system stands tall. It’s a symphony of horticulture, where the harmony of planting density meets accelerated fruition. Imagine the joy of not just having more trees but witnessing them bear fruit earlier and in unprecedented abundance.

An orchard isn’t just a plantation; it’s a living testament to the fusion of nature and innovation. It’s where the traditional boundaries of productivity are redefined, and each tree becomes a beacon of efficiency.

OUR SOURCE OF BUDWOOD

Unlock the secret to successful propagation with the strategic use of stem or branch segments enriched with vital vegetative buds. These serve as the lifeblood for budding or grafting, and in a broader sense, encompass any citrus cell, tissue, callus, or cutting meticulously crafted for the art of plant propagation.

The heart of our cultivation process is the Mother Orchard. Here, various plant parts, including buds and branches, take center stage as the invaluable propagating materials for our meticulous vegetative propagation techniques. These selected plant parts hail from elite 'mother plants,' carefully nurtured to yield healthy, true-to-type planting material. The establishment of a dedicated Mother Plant Block becomes imperative, ensuring the continuity of robust progeny trees. These true-to-type wonders, blessed with health, freedom from diseases, and resilience against insect-pests, thrive alongside stock plants in the sanctuary of our nursery's Mother Block area.
