Floriculture has a bright future and prospects. There is a great export market for modern flowers. It is worthwhile for India to increase its production of flowers in view of the tremendous demand for flowers from European and western countries. The cost of growing flowers in India is less compared to Holland, Israel, France but the quality should be maintained. There was vast scope for furthering floriculture provided some facilities like research in cut flowers availability of good seed and planting materials are created. There was not much variation in the cost of establishment of Hi-tech rose units in Bangalore and Dharmapuri, where as cost of cultivation of Hi-tech rose was more in Bangalore compared to Dharmapuri. Freight charges account for the major cost of cultivation. Hi-tech rose unit in Bangalore was more profitable compared to Dharmapuri hi-tech rose unit.

Abstract


Floriculture has a bright future and prospects. There is a great export market for modern flowers. It is worthwhile for India to increase its production of flowers in view of the tremendous demand for flowers from European and western countries. The cost of growing flowers in India is less compared to Holland, Israel, France but the quality should be maintained. There was vast scope for furthering floriculture provided some facilities like research in cut flowers availability of good seed and planting materials are created. There was not much variation in the cost of establishment of Hi-tech rose units in Bangalore and Dharmapuri, where as cost of cultivation of Hi-tech rose was more in Bangalore compared to Dharmapuri. Freight charges account for the major cost of cultivation. Hi-tech rose unit in Bangalore was more profitable compared to Dharmapuri hi-tech rose unit.
