Scientific cultivation of Jasmine:A potential avenue for women-led Entrepreneurship

Abstract

Floriculture is slowly transitioning from a low-return farming practice to a very profitable agricultural company as demand for flowers grows in the area and the ability to export them grows. Jasmine cultivation is now a profitable industry, and this article talks about the scientific cultivation, year round production, value added product, profits earning and the business as a whole. Jasmine flowers
all year long, and the weather in India is always changing, which is perfect for it. The flower will still be in high demand even when the economy is down because it is important for religious events, festivals, and weddings. Beyond fresh flowers, it is chiefly used in cosmetics, essential oils, pharmaceuticals, and perfumes. Small-scale farmers and business owners in India, especially women's groups, can become financially independent by adopting jasmine cultivation as entrepreneur. The adoption of scientific technologies including right choice of Jasminum species, timing of planting to harvesting, postharvest and its processing led to become a modern-day gold mine.
