EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Flowers have aesthetic value and beauty in addition to their utility. Beauty cannot be measured or weighed, it is a value judgment. Since in this age of specialization and industrialization, many people have neither the time nor the facilities or the know-how required for raising flowers, so they buy flowers from the market. But for cut flowers export purposes, we should produce and maintain a quality and quality of the product acceptable to the buyer. The term Cut flower refers to those flowers whose post harvest life is considerably long and which can be measured in days and also in weeks. Cut flowers are integral part of life and are marketed by thousands of small sized and medium size of business. The production, handling and marketing of Cut flowers constitute a key segment of floriculture industry and its export can play vital role in alleviation of poverty of Pakistan.

The field of floriculture has great potential to grow faster as a sub-sector of agriculture, particularly in terms of export and internal demand of the country. Developed countries provide a huge market for flower growers through out the world. Availability of diverse agro-climatic conditions in Pakistan are best suited for the production of almost all kinds of floricultural crops, like cut flowers, pot plants, annuals, biennials, perennials, trees and shrubs.

To enhance the productivity of flowers in Pakistan, Directorate of Floriculture (T&R), Punjab Lahore initiated the project titled “ENHANCING PRODUCTIVITY OF FLOWERS IN PERIURBAN LAHORE” with its objective to increase the productivity of flowers by training farmers and equipping them with the knowledge of latest production techniques and technology, hence ultimately raising their income. The project was started on July 1st, 2008 with thirty six (36) months gestation period with its planned cost of Rs. 28.794 million. Project was revised at a cost of Rs. 25.708 million with no change in gestation period. The actual expenditure of Rs. 21.891 million has been made till June 30th, 2011. The department submitted the PC-IV document (Revised 2010) of the project for evaluation purposes on 15th May, 2011.

Scope of the project pertaining to the civil works has been completed. The quality of civil work was found to be satisfactory. Procurement of equipment and tools has been completed. During site visits it was observed that some of the assets purchases under the scheme were lying abundant and few of them were either being under or miss-utilized. One out of four bikes, purchased for the project is still not registered even at the completion of

iii gestation period and was not brought into use at all. Payment of one mobile diagnostic lab and one reefer container has been made but same have not been delivered on site yet. Gauging the impact of the project, project couldn’t raise farmers’ income significantly.

On the basis of data collection and analysis, the project is found to be “Partially Successful” with a Project Evaluation and Rating Index (PERI) Score of 69. This result is based on approximately 95% completion of civil works along with minor unapproved deviation in scope of work. However, the objective regarding the recruitment of Floriculture work force has not been achieved completely during the project gestation period. Some of the planned machinery, equipments/tools have not been procured under the project activities.

In evaluating the scheme, cooperation of Mr. Malik Abid Mehmood, Director (Floriculture) is highly appreciated and also acknowledged for providing requisite data to carry out necessary analysis of the project activities.

1. INTRODUCTION

Pakistan is a country of small farming households, where floriculture is the best option of enhancing the income of the under privileged. Introduction to the floriculture crop could be an important intervention in this regard where the farmer can earn much more by exploiting available natural resources more efficiently. We have favorable climate and cheap labor for growing these crops whereas they need much less land and water for production. These crops also give the premium prices almost round the year and there is no need to wait for a long time as in the case of other routine crops. Net profit against the investment is much higher for these crops compared with other conventional crops. The products are in high demand all over the world. But in Pakistan, floriculture is in its embryonic stage. There is lack of resources and skilled labor to develop the floriculture industry up to the international standard. It is need of the time to produce skilled personals and explore new means to ensure survival of our farmer and explore marketing to save our economy as well as increase our exports.

The industry of growing flowers and other ornamental crops is mainly concentrated around the big cities: Karachi, Hyderabad, Lahore, , Islamabad, Multan, Faisalabad, and Quetta. Places such as Pattoki near Lahore, Sahiwal in Sargodha district and location in the vicinity in Hyderabad has been assumed important because of growing sizable area under these crops. Pattoki serves as the centre for floriculture activity in Pakistan. Though Kasur and districts have also developed some expertise in this field, still Pattoki serve as the hub market for all floriculture trade. Pattoki “mandi” is the major forum for buying and sellisng of fresh cut flowers especially roses. About one million pieces of cut flowers are daily exported from Pattoki to different markets in Pakistan, most important of which are Karachi, , Lahore, and Islamabad. The flowers are packed into wooden or paper carton, with each flower pack containing 50 pieces of cut flowers. Each package has one thousand pieces of cut flowers (20 packs @ fifty pieces). These packages are transported to the destination by railway and road. The flowers, especially, roses, gladiolus. lilium, tuberose, jasmine and marigold are grown for sale as cut flowers.

Unfortunately, Pakistan has negligible share in worldwide floriculture trade despite having fertile lands, best irrigation system, and rich resources to venture in this enterprising business which not only generates rural employment but also fetches precious foreign

1 | P a g e exchange. Of the total floriculture trade, cut-flowers sales account for 50 per cent and plants 41 per cent; bulb and cut foliage make up rest of nine per cent. Eight countries export 74 per cent of the value of the world’s floriculture crops — the Netherlands, Columbia, Israel, Italy, Belgium, Denmark, the US and Ecuador. More than 50 per cent of the floriculture products come from the Netherlands.

If we compare the resources of Pakistan with the Netherlands, we have an area 20 times more, manpower 9 to 10 times more and better climate, soil and irrigation system. What we are lacking is the modern production technology and many other factors which have been discussed in the report.

Floriculture has emerged as a major diversification option in the agri-business in recent years. The product-wise groupings under floriculture are cut-flowers (fresh), bulbs and tubers, live potted plants, dried plants, dried flowers, etc. the scenario of floriculture products in Pakistan has been negligible till recently. However it is expanding at a rapid rate and holds very good prospects. Floriculture may be one of the most successful components of diversified horticultural industry.

Floriculture is not only a business, but a lifestyle that involves a commitment. The decision to enter floriculture should not be based solely on love of flowers. Working with flowers is of course a benefit, but a successful operation involves much more. It is a complex business requiring a great deal of highly specialized knowledge and skills. The industry is highly technical and scientific. It is labor intensive and good management skills are essential.

Floriculture is like any other business; to survive the business must make a profit. A considerable time and study before making a business decision on the type of crop and location is necessary. The consumption basket is getting diversified towards value-added floral products such as essences, perfumes, and other by products from flowers. It is important for production to respond to these shifts in consumption.

2.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION Different floricultural crops are grown on about 16000 acres in Pakistan, in which Punjab province shares more than half. Most of the produce is marketed in the local markets and a little is exported. The main crops grown are Gladiolus, Cut-Roses, Tuberose, Lillium, Marigold, Jasmine & other ornamental plants. These are mainly grown in Pattokee & Periurban of Lahore, Faisalabad, Multan and Rawalpindi. The country has a great potential for export of these flowers & other ornamental crops provided we can increase their productivity and quality.

The farmers are growing flowers and ornamental plants, but proper guidance and assistance for the production of quality floricultural crops is not up-to mark. Farmers are also interested in these high value crops which can give them more profit than other field crops. To involve the farmers for production of these high value crops, two acres Government land from Rice Research Institute will be acquired on G.T. Road near Kala Shah Kaku for establishment of a model nursery and Green House sized (100' x 50'). Mother plants and a gene pool of different plants will be developed in the model nursery farm from where bud wood / stock, will be provided to the farmers and ornamental plant growers of Pattoki, flower growers of periurban of Lahore & nurserymen to maintain true to type varieties. Moreover Farmers Field School System (FFS) is proposed in this project where 2nd year 2 FFS are proposed around Lahore i.e. Manga Mandi & . These FFS will be increased to 3 Nos. in 3rd year of the project according to the suitability of area and farmers interest.

Existing Facilities:-

Directorate of Floriculture is working for the development of newly inducted floriculture field through training and research. Training centre is situated at, Lahore & offer different diploma, certificate & short courses to amateurs, in-service persons and ladies through out the year. Three research stations are working at Rawalpindi, Faisalabad & Multan. At Murree, a station is responsible for a collection of wild ornamental flora, and its multiplication. The existing facilities of this directorate are as under:-

This Directorate was established in 1987 to cater the training needs of the interested urban population in the field of flower production, landscaping and flower arrangements at Lahore. This Centre has earlier arranged following training courses for nurserymen and amateurs which are offered at Bagh-i-Jinnah, Lahore.

2.3 PROJECT JUSTIFICATION This project is proposed to enhance the production of commercial exportable flowers and ornamental plants popularize among the farmers. Some farmers have already started growing flowers for commercial production. If these farmers are provided with modern technologies of flower production, they have the capacity to compete in the International markets and help in increasing foreign exchange of the country. In coming years, WTO will 7 | P a g e open International markets for quality flowers and Pakistan has to produce required quality to stay in the International market. Due to shortage of human and financial resources, no training work was done on these lines. This project is proposed to start training on the ways and means for better production of flowers. This will motivate the floriculture farming community to adopt better techniques for production of flowers.

The purpose of visiting the sites was to verify the reported physical achievements and facility utilization under the project. Different features of the project elements have been inspected during the project site visit as described hereunder:- I). Kala Shah Kaku (Model Nursery Farm) Before the site visit of Kalashah Kaku (Model Nursery Farm), a meeting was held in the office of Director Floriculture (Research and Training), where the major points of the project were discussed and a plan to visit the Model Nursery Farm was made. Hence, on planned date as mentioned above Kala Shah Kaku was visited by the evaluation team members of DG(M&E).

Figure 4: Front view of Nursery Model at Kala Shah Kaku During the site visit, civil work including a watchman hut and a store room were found satisfactory. It was found that the store was serving as a kitchen. A store room is not meant to be a kitchen. Two freezers which have been purchased for the preservation of plant material were also found in this so called store room. However no plant material was found to see rather the freezer was being utilized for personal consumption. Further more one of the freezers was lying abundant.

During the visit, it was observed that a weather station, procured under this project was laying abandon. The management was not familiar with its working and was lacking the ability to operate it.

Figure 7: Flowers produced under green houses. It was told by the director floriculture Malik Abid Mahmood that growing flowers in controlled temperature is more profitable as it remains protected from seasonal hazards and fungal diseases. Moreover the length of rose stick, grown in grown house is about 147 cm whereas its maximum length in open field is up to 40 cm. this is a significant difference. It causes to enhance the shelf life of flower as well since, the longer the flower stick, the longer the shelf life. Heating and cooling systems were also observed at model nursery. Their performance was satisfactory. Moreover the physical existence of generator was also verified. It was also observed that a ditch in the earth was serving as water reservoir.

6. OBSERVATIONS Evaluation of the project has revealed many facts and figures about the project. The observations regarding overall project activities are given in ensuing paragraphs:-

The project was initiated to enhance productivity of flowers in periurban Lahore at its original cost of Rs. 28.794 million with its planned gestation period of thirty six (36) months (as commenced on July, 1st, 2008). The same was revised in the year 2009 with revised cost of 25.078 with no extension in gestation period. The administrative approval was issued on 22-5-2009, due to the reason the objectives framed for the year 2008-09 could not be achieved as mentioned by the department.

The project stood closed within the planned gestation period of 36 months. The actual cost incurred on the project was Rs. 21.891 Millions. But there was discrepancy in cost details of the project as expenditures exceeded from approved PC-I amount.

Scope of the project pertaining to the civil works has been more or less achieved. The quality of civil work was found to be satisfactory but as per PC I the tube well room’s construction is not in the scope of said project. Department needs to justify the same.

During the visit, it was observed that the store room constructed for project was serving as a kitchen.

During the visit, it was observed that a weather station, procured under this project was laying abandon. The management was not familiar with its working and was lacking the ability to operate it.

One out of four bikes, purchased for the project is still not registered and not allotted to anybody on hire purchase basis as was perceived in PC-I. It is imperative to write that the bike bought under the scheme is still lying abandon even after the completion of whole gestation period.

32 | P a g e

Payment of one mobile diagnostic lab and one reefer container has been made but same have not been delivered to project site yet even after the completion of gestation period of the project.

Although the farmers were being trained under this project but management remained inefficient in resolving their after production issues particularly regarding the marketing of their production. No efficient supply chain was found for flowering crops. This issue is particularly hindering the objective to increase farmers’ income.

Actual utility of Deep Freezer for preserving plant materials was deficient. It was observed that one of the two deep freezers was being utilized for personal purposes and the other one had not been even unwrapped. Furthermore, during site visit no plant material was found for which deep freezers were purchased.

It was observed that water reservoir could not be completed due to laps of funds. So a big ditch in the earth is being served as a reservoir.

Management remained fail to complete the recruitment of project staff. The posts of one Assistant research Officer (ARO) and two supervisors remained vacant through out the gestation period.

The salary charged for the vacant posts is unjustified. Department needs to justify the same.

It was observed during different visits that in the presence of five drivers, already working in department, there is no need of hiring two drivers exclusively for the said project. Therefore, these extra posts must be abolished.

Training stuff e.g. pamphlets for the farmers added to the cost of the project. But the fair use of them was not made. Few of the farmers were given pamphlets whereas as the rest remained deprived of it.

It was observed that an effective and efficient training mechanism consisting of course book or course outline was missing. Farmers deserve to know on hand, what they will be gaining from the training by end of the day.

33 | P a g e

No statistical data has been made available on Punjab Agriculture or Bureau of Statistics about Floricultre by the department for impact evaluation of the project.

7. QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS

After mapping the detailed observations regarding the overall physical & financial performance of the project, SWOT analysis has been carried out to analyze the detailed strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats involved in the project. Moreover, Boston Consulting Group (BCG) matrix and PEST analysis about the project has been made in 7.1 & 7.2.

7.1 Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities & Threats (SWOT) Analysis

STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES

Capacity of human resources through Issue of marketing is not resolved. hiring project staff. Short shelf life of cut flowers. Causing rise in income of the farmer. Unavailability of superior quality seeds Attaining not only self sufficiency in and fertilizer. cut flowers rather exports will also be Lack of efficient supply chain made. management. Highly motivated farmers Less number of cut flower markets. Adoption of new production Financial instability of the farmers. techniques and latest technology. Celebration of new events leading more consumption of cut flowers. Optimum utilization of land of priurban Lahore. OPPORTUNITIES THREATS

Opportunity of exports, leading to Increase in international competitors increase in foreign exchange. Price war Direct or indirect financial patronage Replacement of cut flowers with natural of farmers. looking artificial flowers. Expansion of new varieties of cut Export Quota flowers. Economics Instability may cause failure of Mergers and strategic alliances with the Project other countries. Unavailability of Skilled manpower Exploration of new market segments. Introduction of improved methods of production and technology.

35 | P a g e

7.2 Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Matrix

In order to assess the Pakistan’s relative position in international market with respect to the growth of cut flower industry all over the world, BCG Matrix has been shown below.

As it is shown in the matrix, that along vertical axis we have Business growth rate and along horizontal axis, relative position is given. Now Pakistan’s share in floriculture is too less whereas the overall international floriculture industry is growing. That is the very reason that this project fits in “Question Mark” cell of the grid which shows that overall business growth of floriculture is high but our market share is low. Hence this project is an attempt to increase our market share in floriculture industry.

7.3 PEST ANALYSIS

In order to asses the Political, Economical, Social and technological impact of this project PEST analysis has been carried out, which is as follows:

POLITICAL

This project has no impact on politics.

ECONOMIC

This project will impact on economic growth of the farmers. It will be helpful in uplifting the socio economic conditions of farmers by increasing productivity per unit and production of good quality cut-flowers. Now- a-days families have been extended and the land holding have become very small. Farmers can grow floricultural crops and can earn more as compared to other field crops such as wheat, rice, sugarcane etc.

36 | P a g e

SOCIAL (EDUCATION, HEALTH, EMPLOYMENT, AREA DEVELOPMENT, ETC.)

Farmers will get education through farmers field schools. Farmers field school training with practical and demonstration is helpful to innovate and adopt these high value crops. Farmers will get training of flowers production in open field and under controlled temperature. Farmers/ stake holders will be benefited by training and quality cut-flower production on scientific lines. Flowers can play a vital role in improving the health of the people as these have aesthetic value. This project will provide jobs to scientists and skilled persons as it generated jobs for fourteen persons in BPS-1 to BPS-17. It will also generate employment at the farmers field for un-skilled labour. This project is helpful in increasing the area of cultivation of commercial flowers in periurban Lahore. It will provide an opportunity to farmers to get good quality seed / bud wood. Research finding at this project will provide guide lines to farmers for setting and achieving their goals in best national interest.

TECHNOLOGICAL

The project is proposed to popularized production technologies of commercial floricultural crops for example Gladiolus, Roses, Lillium, Marigold, Tuberose & Jasmine. Farmers will not only get technical training for production of crops, they will also learn about post harvest technology of these crops. Reefer container and mobile diagnostic laboratory will be helpful in effective transportation of flowers from field to market and in controlling insects’ pests and diseases. These facilities will be available to the farmers of Pattoki and periurban areas of Lahore on nominal charges. This project will extend the green house, lath house and open field technical training of commercial floricultural crops.

9. LESSONS LEARNED

1. There is tendency of delayed release of funds which may be avoided to execute and implement project successfully. The release of funds should be concordant with the financial phasing provided in PC-I. It would help to start the project activities well in time and inversely may hamper the project performance. 2. The closedown stage of the projects integrates all the previous and on-going activities and translates it into desired objectives and goals set for the project. This phase should be closely monitored by the project managers. 3. While preparing the PC-I, specific short term / long-term performance measures that focus on quantifiable outcomes and meaningfully reflect the purpose of the program must be considered. 4. Usually accurate and verified data is not provided by the departments; due to that evaluation process is suffered to show the clear picture of the project in terms of quantitative and qualitative objectives. 5. Floriculture business is profitable on small-medium scale. Further investment can strengthen the economy on small and medium scale. In this regard, SMEDA may support this activity in rural areas, then there are possibilities that it may flourish in near future particularly in Punjab.

39 | P a g e

10. RECOMMENDATIONS

Recommendations were suggested for the effective usage of the project outcomes and resources. These recommendations address the suggestions for improvement in project planning and execution as well as, identify matters requiring follow up actions. The rationale for the recommendations was clearly explained and linked with the information collected in the evaluation process. Recommendations about the project are as under:-

It is recommended to transfer 12 out of 14 project posts from development to non- development budget. The detail of the recommended staff is given in Annexure-C.

It is also recommended that the approved vacant project posts must be occupied immediately. Department may also depute regular staff to project site to make it functional.

It is recommended to get project vehicle registered without any further delay.

Department is recommended to make the optimum utilization of the resources provided for the projects.

Survey to farmers reveals that they get frustrated with pretty much long duration of class particularly when there is harvesting season. At that moment they find it too tough to spare even fifteen minutes for the class. Therefore it is recommended that class duration may be shortened in peak season. Farmers must be relaxed with no class in harvesting season. Same can be done by commencing the training session from September to April.

Farmer is worried about the transportation and perishable nature of the cut flowers. Therefore, it is recommended to introduce the farmers with chilling units used for transportation of the cut flowers.

Farmers get disappointed when after flower production they have to face the problems regarding marketing their products. The cut flower markets are not prudently developed. Government may develop markets for cut flowers and maintain effective supply chain system for flora products grown by farmers.

40 | P a g e

A reasonable subsidy to the farmers may enhance cut flower production in Punjab. Therefore, farmers may be motivated through subsidizing. Moreover Government must provide the superior quality seeds and fertilizers to the farmer in order to meet export standards.

Updated data about floriculture (flower production) must be maintained by the department for setting bench marks and for the purpose of impact assessment of the project.
