marigold farming West Bengal

Arup Kumar Ghosh from Kolaghat, West Bengal, left college and began learning the flower trade in local markets. Today, his marigold venture supports a large-scale seed and sapling business.

“I could have easily stayed on as a worker in the shop, but taking the leap into entrepreneurship and farming has enhanced my understanding of floriculture,” says Arup Kumar Ghosh, a marigold farmer in Kolaghat.
