Field Visit to local farms to meet fellow Farmers !!

This is Mr.Ravi Kumar's newly erected polyhouse .. his second unit owing to increase in the demand he is starting up the new unit.  This  farm was  far away from hyderabad and it took me about an hour to reach from the city. It was somewhere near a place named Chevella . he is one of the member of the flower grower association here and has been in to this since 2 years i guess. He has about an acre or odd of Filler grass growing in open cultivation and he mentioned to me that it fetches him about 40rs per bunch of that grass. Regarding his gerberas he proudly mentions that he is able to get about 100 bundles of Gerberas with 10 each  from the  560 sq.mtr polyhouse. He mostly sells them to the flower shops directly and doesnt go to the commission agent regularly to sell his produce. He was very friendly and offered to help me in any regards ..look at all the pics i took @ his site .. 

Bed preparation going on in the newly erected polyhouse
 



Though there was some problem with the plants last month due to inavailability of the labor.. the plants seems to do pretty well and the flowers produce was  fairly well !!

These reds were really brilliant looking among all and  according to him .. these are the most wanted ones!!




The person on the left is Ajay from KF BIOPLANTS.. who has taken me to the farm during his monthly visit to the farms . The man talking to him is Ravi Kumar garu.

Thats the grass used as fillers in the flower arrangements..easy to grow and good money too !!

Both old and new polyhouse with the grass in the front !!
