Jessore’s Gadkhali region, once known for native flowers, is now producing foreign flower seedlings like Dutch lilies and gerberas through tissue culture by a private firm, RRF. Previously imported from India at high costs, these seedlings are now locally grown, reducing import dependence. Though current production meets only a fraction of demand, efforts are underway to scale up. Farmers benefit from lower prices, better quality, and training support. Bangladesh aims to become self-sufficient in foreign flower seedling production soon.
