The value addition of flower crops is a method that increases employment and economic value, reduces post-harvest losses, and provides higher quality for former empowerment and people living below the poverty line. The floriculture business includes attractive plants, flowers (cut and loose), and value-added goods made from flowers and flower parts, which make large sums of money in the market, as well as various industries that provide economic value and create jobs. The process of deriving genetic and processing alterations and employing novel approaches to raise the economic value and beauty of all floricultural products is known as flower value creation. When compared to other living plants and fresh-cut flowers, the dried flower sector is predicted to make significant economic contributions in the future. Dry flowers and plant materials have enormous potential as a replacement for fresh flowers and foliage for interior decoration, as well as a range of additional aesthetic and commercial applications.
