Nibe said that flower cultivation and horticulture is a complementary business of agriculture. It is profitable for farmers as a co-business. Farmers should give priority to this business along with their traditional business. India is an agricultural country where farming is done on a large scale. Currently, Hortipro is also taking roots in cities. Various types of plants and flowers are being planted in homes, courtyards, galleries and there is a great demand for them. Therefore, farmers should give priority to this business as a joint venture.

Horticulture farmers from India and abroad participated in the professional exhibition and horticulture experts held detailed discussions and guided the farmers and professionals regarding employment and business in the horticulture sector.
