Trout farming has seen experienced significant global growth, driven by sustainable aquaculture practices and technological advancements. In northern India, it has emerged as an economically vital industry, supporting livelihoods and contributing to protein production, while aligning with conservation efforts to safeguard local ecosystems. This industry's positive trajectory is fueled by increasing consumer demand for sustainability and innovation. This paper examines the thriving trout farming sectors in Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh, where favourable climatic conditions, well-established hatcheries, and feed mills have contributed to its success. Despite on-going challenges, the Himalayan region offers substantial opportunities for expansion by leveraging local feed formulations and available resources. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the current state of trout farming, including its global reach, key production centers and economic implications. The analysis concludes with strategies to enhance cost efficiency through locally sourced feed and highlights the region’s strong potential for further growth in trout farming.
