Overview
Gerbera cultivation is a rewarding flower-growing venture due to the vibrant colors and high demand for Gerbera daisies in floral arrangements and as cut flowers. These flowers thrive in both outdoor and controlled indoor environments, making them perfect for greenhouses and polyhouses. At Dhannaseth, we provide guidance on setting up Gerbera farms, optimizing conditions for ideal flower production, and implementing pest and disease control measures.
The Growing Gerbera Market
Gerbera daisies are popular worldwide, both in retail flower sales and in the floral industry. Their versatility, beauty, and long shelf-life make them a favorite for florists, and they are often used in both casual and luxury arrangements. The demand for high-quality Gerbera flowers is steadily growing, and with the right farming techniques, Gerbera cultivation offers excellent profit potential.
Subsidy Value
Gerbera farming requires an investment in greenhouse structures, irrigation systems, and pest management solutions. At Dhannaseth, we provide financial subsidies to help offset the initial investment in setting up a Gerbera farm. These subsidies support costs related to greenhouse construction, temperature control systems, and advanced irrigation technology, ensuring that your Gerbera farm is both efficient and successful.
