Thanks for the suggestion.In my research I came to know that Gerbera is having marketvalue only during few months ie, Sept Dec. Rest of the monthsthe rates are very low. But Carnation is having a steady marketvalue through out the year. Is this true? Please reply.

Dear Mr.Sajith Kumar
Entering into a business means risky factors also go in hand. Sobe prepared to face the risky situation.
you are interested in floriculture business that too fresh flowerexports , a perishable commodity business. Your enthusiasnm tomarket survey is a good approach.
But if you are really interested in floriculture business I can giveyou the following suggestions from my consulting experience:
1. Go for crops in which you are hvaing a thorough knowledge.2. Mostly flowers have good markets during festive season. Fordomestic market during the festivals (i.e for loose flowers) and forinternational market mostly during Christmas, New Year,Valentine's day , Mother's day3. Accordingly you have to plan to get the output during thoseperiod4. Seek for permanent buyers and have a good contract with them
