February 14: With the celebration of 'Valentine’s Day' gaining popularity in Nepal, the demand for red roses has also shot up. However, Nepal itself has very small scale of production of the roses mostly used on Valentine’s Day.

According to Rastriya Samachar Samiti (RSS), there are only a handful of farmers in Nepal who have been cultivating roses for commercial use. The state-run news agency reported that there is a vast gap between the demand and production of roses in the market.

Nevertheless, a youth farmer in Chitwan made a lucrative income from the sale of roses in view of the Valentine’s Day, reported RSS.

According to Prakash Pant, a local of Bharatpur Metropolis-18, Gunjanagar, the rose business gave him a net profit of Rs 300,000.

Pant said that the plants cultivated in the month of April/May yield production from November.

There is a demand for 20,000 rose sticks in Chitwan on the occasion of Valentine’s Day, said Pant, who is also the chair of Chitwan chapter of Floriculture Association of Nepal.

He has been supplying roses to major cities of Nepal, including Chitwan, Pokhara and Kathmandu.
