Maharashtra Farmer Earns Over Rs 12,000 Daily Growing Roses and Gerberas
Maharashtra farmer Arjun Sabale transformed his family's traditional flower farming by adopting protected cultivation techniques. Starting in 2016 with a quarter-acre of roses grown under polyhouse conditions, he expanded to one acre cultivating roses and gerberas. Sabale's farm produces about 1,000 roses and 2,000 gerbera sticks daily, generating daily earnings of around Rs 12,000 to Rs 13,000 and monthly profits up to Rs 2.5 to 3.5 lakh. His approach highlights efficient land use and year-round income through controlled environment farming.
