Flower growers across the country might be forced to discontinue cultivation

Times have never been so rotten, say flower growers as the sight of wilting flowers across fields during the nationwide lockdown are driving them to despair. If the government does not step in to help them, these floriculturists might be forced to discontinue flower cultivation.

Ram Chander, a 40-year-old flower grower in the village of Ramnagar (Mal block, Lucknow) has been feeding his crop to cattle. He has also asked friends and neighbours to take it away for free. His crop consisted of one acre of gladiolus and half an acre of marigold flowers. Last year, he made a profit of around Rs 1.25 lakh. Buoyed by the margin, Ram Chander took out a loan of Rs 90,000 on his Kisan Credit Card to get better quality seeds to sow this year. For 11 months, he left 25 packets of seeds in a cold storage paying Rs 34 per month for every packet stored.
