Gulkhaira is super valuable because it’s used for medicine. Different parts of the plant, like the flowers, leaves, stems, and seeds, can be sold for a lot of money. People are willing to pay up to ₹10,000 for one unit of Gulkhaira. And from just one piece of land, you could make up to ₹50,000 because you can grow around five units of Gulkhaira.
The cycle of growing Gulkhaira starts in November and goes till May. All you need to start is the seeds, and planting begins in November. You’ll be able to collect your crops in April and May. The plant is smart – its leaves and stems fall off as it grows, making it easy to gather them. These parts are super important for making medicines for things like fever and cough.
People in countries like Pakistan and Afghanistan are already doing a lot of Gulkhaira farming. It’s also becoming popular in Uttar Pradesh, especially in places like Kannauj and Hardoi. Companies that make medicine want a lot of Gulkhaira, and sometimes they make deals with farmers before the plants are even ready to be harvested. This shows that growing Gulkhaira can make you a lot of money.
