“…The lavender production can be productive. This goes in line with the results of one study conducted on 10 farms in the Mediterranean region [1], an ongoing European Union project in Slovenia [2] as well as other studies conducted in developing countries [3][4][5]. To determine the feasibility of organic lavender production following costs have been calculated: cost of lavender seeds, cost of cultivation, and workforce cost.…”

which embodied the following information: farm location, brief development of the farm, the main reasons for investing own sources in lavender production (i.e., as a basis for product/service diversification), the list of other investors (i.e., EU fund, National or local investment fundraising).The main results: The exponential rise can be reached after the third year.A general recommendation is to increase people's awareness of high-quality, organic products i.e., lavender. To do this, farm owners need to interconnect with the local community as well as with other public authorities, and organizations that promote organic food.Cost/benefit analysis had been reviled that after the third-year yields from lavender dramatically increase therefore the profit starts to increase as well. Investment can be expanded to the production of essential organic lavender oil, soap, and creams.Key lessons for farm owners: a) joint the Organic food cluster or engage other farm owners to start the organic lavender production, distribution, export, or marketing. Moreover, farm owners can form:Cluster of Organic lavender in Serbia or at the local level.sell organic lavender at fairs and other events. connect with tourism organizations to increase revenues from lavender production. share agriculture machine with other farmers, and improve their knowledge about lavender productions, cultivation, seeds or varieties of lavender, distribution, marketing, export through a partnership with universities and/or engaging consultants in aforementioned areas of expertise.

The production technology of Lavandula angustifolia (true English Lavender) from rooting of stem cuttings, standardizing the distance for plantation in field, yield of essential oil and economics of cultivation has been discussed. 92% rooting can be achieved in the semi hardwood cuttings of L. angustifolia if treated with 2000ppm IBA in the month of October. Maximum herbage yield (fresh flower) on harvesting after two years can be to the tune of 11,420kg ha-1 when planted at a spacing of 50cm X 50cm. Maximum yield of essential oil 117 kg ha-1 has been obtained from 50cm X 50cm spacing and thus showing a recovery rate of 1.02%. Actual benefits are obtained after 2nd year of plantation and production may continue up to 12-15 years. Economic analysis has shown the net results will be Rs 4.0 lakhs ha-1 year-1. Comparing the quality profile of essential oil cultivated in Kashmir with that of cultivated in Europe it has become evident that Kashmir lavender oil (linalool > 44%) is of international standards.
