Nepal has recently become self-sufficient in flower cultivation, which is used for everything from worship to weddings, receptions, farewells and even after death. Although flower cultivation has been common in Nepal since 2011, it has taken a commercial form since the 2050s.

The number of people engaged in commercial flower cultivation in Nepal has been increasing over the last decade. Since the flower business generates a lot of income, the number of people engaged in flower cultivation has started increasing along with other sectors of agriculture. Similarly, since flowers are widely used, the number of people engaged in flower cultivation for Tihar is increasing. Since there is sufficient income in a short period of time, commercial cultivation of centipedes and velvet used in Tihar is done.

Flower trade is especially high during Tihar. According to Rajesh Bhakta Shrestha, President of the Nepal Floriculture Association, more than 4 million garlands are sold in the Kathmandu Valley alone during Tihar.

He says that the use of flowers is increasing in Nepal, and flower businesses have started by renting land from nurseries. With the development and expansion of urbanization, flower cultivation is taking place in the main cities of all seven provinces and in 52 districts of the country, says Chairman Shrestha. 'Nepal's environment is conducive to flower cultivation,' he says.

Flower cultivation is being carried out on an area of ​​about 270 hectares across the country. Chairman Shrestha said that there is an investment of more than Rs 8.83 billion in the flower business and 53,500 people are employed. The annual growth rate in demand and supply of the flower business is more than 10 percent.
