The present study was undertaken in Coorg district of Karnataka
state where anthuriums are grown in a large area. The primary data was
collected for the year 2003-04, by personal interview method with the help
of a pre-tested schedule, on the aspects of costs, returns, problems in
production and marketing of anthuriums from both the organised and
unorganised sectors of cultivation. The data was also collected from the
consumers regarding the quality preferences for anthuriums. The
secondary data regarding the exports of anthuriums was collected from
the companies involved in the exports in Bangalore.
The results revealed that anthurium cultivation is capital intensive.
The cost of establishment in the organised sector was Rs.66,69,751.79
per hectare and Rs. 19,64,635.16 per hectare in the unorganised sector.
The total cost of cultivation was Rs.l 1,56,161.34 and Rs.3,27,016.52 per
