Is gerbera and rose farming in polyhouse profitable?

Gerbera and rose grown in a polyhouse are high-value cut-flower crops that can be profitable near urban flower markets, but they need high investment and intensive care. Gerbera starts yielding in about 3 months and produces for 2 to 3 years from one planting; quality cut flowers fetch good prices in city markets and events. Polyhouse cost plus planting material runs into several lakh per 1,000 sq m, partly offset by MIDH horticulture subsidy in many states. Success needs disease management, grading, cold chain and reliable buyers (florists, wholesalers, online). Returns can be attractive when prices hold, but flower prices are volatile and a glut can hurt. Start with one crop, secure market linkage, and get state horticulture subsidy details before investing.
