‘Demand this week has come from Andhra Pradesh and Kerala’
For the first time, the flower growers of Hosur are seeing a demand unseen since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The demand, albeit just four days old, is anticipated to go up and help reverse losses faced by the greenhouse farmers, say flower growers.
There was a brief spell of demand during Deepavali last year, but states like Kerala had banned flowers from Tamil Nadu followed by varied degrees of lockdowns in different states. However, this time, things are slowly looking up, says Harish Babu, a greenhouse farmer in Bagalur.
