More than 3,000 bunches of chrysanthemum cultivated in Ziro, Arunachal Pradesh, have been dispatched to the capital, marking a significant step for the region’s flower market.
Ziro growers in Arunachal Pradesh have loaded over 3,000 bunches of chrysanthemum onto trucks bound for New Delhi, according to a report by The Assam Tribune. The shipment represents the latest effort by hill‑area farmers to tap urban demand for ornamental flowers.
Chrysanthemum has emerged as a high‑value horticultural crop for the Ziro plateau, where cool temperatures and fertile soils support year‑round cultivation. By moving a sizable consignment to the capital, farmers hope to secure better prices and expand market linkages beyond the Northeast.
Logistics for the consignment were coordinated by local cooperatives, which arranged refrigerated transport to preserve flower freshness during the journey. The bunches are expected to reach Delhi’s wholesale flower markets within a few days, where they will be sold to retailers and event planners.
If the Delhi demand materialises as anticipated, the sale could boost incomes for dozens of smallholders in Ziro and encourage further diversification into floriculture across the region.
