Back to All Crops Economics
FlowerCommercial Varieties: Top Secret, Taj Mahal, Gold Strike, Avalanche
Cultivation Overview & Commercial Scope
Dutch roses are the quintessential high-value commercial floriculture crop grown under naturally ventilated polyhouses with misting systems. Protected conditions produce sturdy 60-90 cm stems with vibrant petal color and extended vase life, producing 6,00,000 cut flowers per year from 30,000 top-grafted plants.
Key Production & Market Advantages
