It's strawberry season and a little village in the outskirts of Srinagar is witnessing a buzz in activity and a bountiful harvest, but there are few takers of this juicy red fruit.

Farmers here started growing strawberries some years ago as the fruit rose in popularity and demand spiked in many metro cities across India.
