Livestock in J&K contributes a notable amount to the GDP of the state. Most of the people in rural areas here live on animal husbandry. There are also a large number of buffaloes, sheep and goats. Hence, there is a good opportunity for dairy production as milk is in abundance here.

2. Livestock Feed Manufacturing Business

4. Waste Management Manufacturing Business

Every day a large amount of garbage is dumped on land and even in water bodies using illegal practices in Jammu and Kashmir.

The market for this business is huge in India and it is in great demand for the future as well.
