Is raspberry farming profitable in India or only a niche crop?

Raspberry can fetch a high price per kg because supply in India is tiny and demand in premium markets exists, but profitability is limited by two big constraints, a narrow suitable climate (cool hills only) and extreme perishability. For most growers it remains a niche or experimental crop, best suited to those near a city or specialty buyer, or who can process the fruit. The high price can be deceptive if a large part of the crop is lost to spoilage or fetches nothing for want of a buyer. It is not a safe mass-market choice and there are no guaranteed returns. Start very small, prove your market and handling, and verify realistic yields, costs and prices with your KVK before treating it as a serious income crop.
