Ladakh Sends First Consignment of Locally Grown Lilium Flowers to National Markets
Ladakh has dispatched its first commercial consignment of 15,000 locally grown "A-grade" Lilium flowers from Leh to national markets in Delhi, Mumbai, and Chandigarh. Cultivated at 10,600 feet in the Choglamsar area, these flowers include various colors and have a shelf life of five to seven days. The initiative, flagged off by Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena, aims to boost local livelihoods, employing 15 women in processing roles and promoting agricultural diversification. Plans are underway to expand floriculture to other Ladakh districts.
