India, Oct. 15 -- Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Tuesday said the agriculture sector in Jammu and Kashmir holds immense potential and requires focused attention towards value addition to unlock business opportunities across the Union territory.

"Most of the produce from Jammu and Kashmir leave the region in its raw form, with very little processing or value addition being done locally. This opens significant opportunities for industrial growth, both on the Jammu side and the Kashmir side," Abdullah said while addressing the national executive committee meeting of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) held here.
