With the approaching
Valentine’s Day, it is expected that there will be huge price increase for
roses and other flowers.
Generally, the prices
of flowers increase during festive occasions. With the Valentine’s week, roses
were already selling at Rs 25 or Rs 30 per piece. The cost for Rs. 200 and more
for a 20-rose bundle wholesale. It is likely to rise further.
The rise in prices
comes as more of a surprise because most florists also said that they expected
a lower demand for roses on Valentine’s Day this year.
Flowers have been
steadily increasing in cost for the past few months. The expected reduction in
demand is primarily because of the high prices.
More people are
choosing to go for something other than flowers this year.
The demand for roses
has gone down.
It is possible that
there will be a sudden spurt in demand on February 13, whatever the prices.
Then, the sellers will order and receive sufficient supply from Bengaluru.
