The daffodil, a quintessential British flower, has become the centerpiece of an intriguing gamble in Indian horticulture markets. British growers are betting on the flower\“s appeal to India\“s growing middle class, who are increasingly interested in Western decorative plants and gardening trends.
This floral gamble involves significant investment in cultivation techniques adapted to India\“s diverse climate zones. British agricultural experts are collaborating with Indian farmers to develop daffodil varieties that can thrive in specific regional conditions, from the cooler northern hills to controlled greenhouse environments in warmer areas.
The market response has been cautiously optimistic, with urban centers like Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore showing particular interest in the bright yellow blooms. However, the gamble faces challenges including transportation logistics, seasonal timing, and competition from traditional Indian flowers during festival seasons. |
