FLORICULTURE
INTRODUCTION
• India is bestowed with several agro-climatic zones conducive for production of sensitive and delicate floriculture products. During the decade after liberalization floriculture industries took giant steps in the export arena. This era has seen a dynamic shift from sustenance production to commercial production.
• As per National Horticulture Database published by National Horticulture Board, during 2012-13 the area under floriculture production in India was 232.74 thousands hectares with a production of 1.729 million tonnes loose flowers and 76.73 million tonnes cut flowers.
• Floriculture is now commercially cultivated in several states with West Bengal (32%), Karnataka (12%) Maharashtra (10%), having gone ahead of other producing states like Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Punjab, Haryana, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
• Indian floriculture industry comprises of flowers such as Rose, Tuberose, Glads, Anthurium, Carnations, Marigold etc. Cultivation is undertaken in both open farm conditions as well as state-of-the-art poly and greenhouses.
• India's total export of floriculture was Rs. 455.90 crores in 2013-14. The major importing countries were United States, Netherlands, Germany, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Japan and Canada. There are more than 300 export-oriented units in India. More than 50% of the floriculture units are based in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. With the technical collaborations from foreign companies, the Indian floriculture industry is poised to increase its share in world trade.
• India has also been exporting fruits and vegetable seeds and exports during 2013-14 stood at Rs. 410.53 crores. Pakistan, United States, Bangladesh, Netherland, Italy, and Thailand were the major markets of India’s fruits and vegetable seeds.
• Government of India has identified floriculture as a sunrise industry and accorded it 100% export oriented status. Owing to steady increase in demand of flower floriculture has become one of the important Commercial trades in Agriculture. Hence commercial floriculture has emerged as hi-tech activity-taking place under controlled climatic conditions inside greenhouse. Floriculture in India, is being viewed as a high growth Industry. Commercial floriculture is becoming important from the export angle. The liberalization of industrial and trade policies paved the way for development of export-oriented production of cut flowers. The new seed policy had already made it feasible to import planting material of international varieties. It has been found that commercial floriculture has higher potential per unit area than most of the field crops and is therefore a lucrative business. Indian floriculture industry has been shifting from traditional flowers to cut flowers for export purposes. The liberalized economy has given an impetus to the Indian entrepreneurs for establishing export oriented floriculture units under controlled climatic conditions.
• Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), is responsible for export promotion and development of floriculture in India.

Entrepreneurship in Agriculture & Allied Sectors Floriculture
• Commercial floriculture has been of recent origin though the traditional flower cultivation has been going on for centuries. Emphasis has been shifting from traditional flowers to cut flowers for export purposes. The liberalization of economy since 1991-92 has given an impetus to the Indian entrepreneurs for establishing export oriental floriculture unit under controlled climatic conditions. Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Haryana have emerged as major floriculture centres in recent times. At present the total area under floriculture cultivation is about 73,970 ha. with a production of 4.60 lakh tonnes of loose flowers and 1155 lakh (numbers) of cut flowers.
• Department of Agriculture and Cooperation under the Ministry of Agriculture is the nodal organisation responsible for development of the floriculture sector. It is responsible for formulation and implementation of national policies and programmes aimed at achieving rapid agricultural growth through optimum utilization of land, water, soil and plant resources of the country. The Horticulture Division in the Department of Agriculture and Co-operation is vested with the responsibility of overseeing the overall accelerated development of the sector. It has been set up with a mandate to implement the programmes for improving the production, productivity and utilisation of horticultural crops, support and formulate policies aimed for accelerated growth of horticulture, facilitate the availability of disease free planting material and seeds of horticultural crops, provide the leadership and co-ordinate activities for the promotion of horticulture, etc.
• Several schemes have been initiated by the Government for promotion and development of the floriculture sector. Integrated Development of Commercial Floriculture is one such scheme implemented with the objectives of improve production and productivity of traditional as well as cut flowers through availability of quality planting material and transfer technology, improve human resource capabilities for growing flowers scientifically, promote production of off season and quality flowers through protected cultivation as well as improve on farm post harvest handling of flowers.State Governments have set up separate departments for promotion and development of the sector in their respective States.
