Abstract

In order to reach the required standard, an effort has been made to cover all facets of the flower business in this paper, including the current environment and potential future developments. The sale and price of various flowers, including gladioli, cut roses, tuberose, gruss an teplitz, and marigolds, are presented in this study as well as the current state of the Saggian flower market. This article makes it easier for people to decide whether to launch a flower business in Pakistan. In Pakistan, the flower industry has grown significantly since previous years, however this growth is insufficient to meet customer demand. Compared to the winter season, production drops throughout the summer. This article provides a summary of the annual sales and projected rates of various flowers in the Saggian Flower Market.
