The butterfly pea flower has become a source of income for farmers

In various regions of India, the butterfly pea flower, which used to grow wild, has now become an important source of income for farmers. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This blue flower is widely used in tea, natural dyes, and food products. Nilam Brahma, who lives in the state of Assam, has also started cultivating this flower and speaks about beginning to earn income in a short time.

In recent years, the global demand for natural coloring products has increased, boosting interest in cultivating the butterfly pea flower. Although this flower is approved as a food supplement in the USA, it has not yet received full authorization in Europe and the United Kingdom.

However, Indian entrepreneurs, believing in the future of this product, are actively developing cooperation with farmers. Some companies in India offer farmers seeds, technical advice, and stable purchase agreements.

The processes of properly harvesting and drying the flowers at low temperatures are very important, and mainly women participate in this work. This is because great care is required to avoid damaging the delicate flowers.

Experts emphasize that the butterfly pea flower also has beneficial health properties. Some studies have shown that it may help regulate blood sugar levels.

As a result, this flower not only increases farmers' income but also helps form new partnerships and business networks in rural areas.
