Why Gerberas ??

Although i had couple of other choices like Roses and Carnation i choose to go with  Gerberas for my  First project into floriculture mainly because of reasons like:
  • Ease of cultivation and lesser expertise required
  • More profit per acre compartively
  • Stable market all round the year 
  • Lesser price fluctuation
  • Personally .. i love gerberas
so the  first thing  that i had to do  was get a soil and water testing done at various lands that we owned so find a suitable location

Then i met up with the local horticulture officer to find out the process for applying for govt. subsidy that i might possible get. The govt.  currently  is only giving subsidy for the small farmers with size of  1000 sft.
Anyways  here is a  picture of the site location that i have  decided on.
