Flowers are also used in making perfume, incense sticks, gulal and oil. That’s why big companies also buy flowers directly from farmers.
Most of the farmers in India feel that good income can be earned only by cultivating traditional crops like paddy and wheat. But the farmers should know that apart from paddy and wheat, there are many other crops too, the cultivation of which can make the farmers rich. Floriculture is one of these crops. Actually, flower farming is such a cash crop, from which the farmers earn daily. In such a situation, if farmer brothers cultivate flowers, then they will earn more in less cost.
The specialty of flower farming is that the cost of fertilizers and irrigation in its field is less than that of paddy-wheat. Along with this, the attack of insects on flowers is also less as compared to traditional crops. In such a situation, the farmers’ expenditure on pesticides will also be saved. At present, many types of flowers are cultivated in North India. But the highest demand in the market is of marigold and rose.
These two are such flowers, which are used from worship to marriage and to decorate the house. Especially in the temples of India, thousands of tons of flowers are used daily for worship and decorating the temples. That’s why farmers can earn well everyday by selling flowers just like vegetables. The special thing is that there is a lot of sale of flowers even on Valentine’s Day.
At the same time, flowers are also used in making perfume, incense sticks, gulal and scented oil. That’s why big companies also buy flowers directly from farmers. Apart from this, many types of flowers are also used in making medicines. In such a situation, we can say that the farmers who cultivate flowers cannot remain in loss. Similarly, rose, marigold and sunflower are cultivated on a large scale in India. In such a situation, during the cultivation of these flowers, the arrangement of irrigation should be done well.
Flowers are cultivated on a large scale in many states including Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Haryana and Uttarakhand. The cost of marigold flower cultivation is Rs 30,000 per acre. These flowers are sold in the market for up to Rs.80 per kg. In such a situation, farmers can earn Rs 2 to 3 lakh from one acre. Similarly, farmers can earn well from rose cultivation. According to agricultural experts, farmers can earn up to Rs 5 to 7 lakh by cultivating roses in one hectare. Whereas, the expenditure will have to be done only one lakh rupees.
