Flower plucking
Son-Chafa is the main source of Farm income. Though the plant is known to be quite tall, for commercial plantation and flower harvesting, the height of the plant is controlled by Pruning, so as to restrict the height to comfortably pluck the flowers. A typical day starts with flower plucking and these are packed to be sent to the wholesale market at Dadar and Panvel region. The entire activity of plucking and packing lasts for about 2-3 hours.
