Step-by-step explanation:
The cultivation and export of floricultural products have received considerable
interest in recent years from the policy makers, researchers, agricultural and horticultural
planners. It is often argued that horticulture and allied activities have to be given
importance in view of the sector’s potential in employment, income and export generation.
On this ground, horticulture has been provided additional thrust in recent years. The plan
outlays have been stepped up in successive plans for development of horticulture.
However, some states are still lagging behind in this process. This may be due to lack of
infrastructural facilities, lack of guidance to farmers by the department of horticulture as
well as unsuitable agro-climatic conditions. Further, after attaining self-sufficiency in
foodgrain production, the policy focus is being directed more towards remunerative crops
and export potential crops. An important emerging activity in horticultural sector is
floriculture. This sub-sector has been encouraged, because of its demand both in domestic
as well as international markets. The increases in per capita income and urbanisation have
led to a greater preference and increased demand for flowers. At present, flowers are
being extensively used in various places. The testimony of this is mushrooming growth of
florist centres in urban areas, its prosperity and demand. Still, this sector has a few
bottlenecks. These have to be tackled and consequently the activity should become more
remunerative to the farmers.
Present study was undertaken by Dr.P.Thippaiah for the Ministry of Agriculture,
realizing the future growth potential of floriculture sector. It originated out of his keen
interest in the subject. The analysis undertaken provides structure, growth and
impediments faced by the sector based on secondary as well as micro-level data. I am
sure, the results of this analysis would be useful to the practitioners and policy makers
equally.
Answer:
let the flower and jasmine be 2x
2×=840
x=840÷2
x= 420
roses =1x=1×420=420 roses
jasmine=1x=1×420=420 jasmines
