Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Pyrethrum cultivators grow and harvest pyrethrum, which contains pyrethrin as the raw material for insecticides, perform drying processes, and ship the product as agricultural workers.
Description
Pyrethrum cultivators handle seedling production in nurseries, transplanting to fields, growth management such as irrigation and fertilization, pest and disease control, and harvesting at the optimal maturity stage. After harvesting, they dry the flower heads using dryers, conduct quality inspections and sorting to maintain a consistent pyrethrin content, and handle packaging and shipping preparations. They require cultivation techniques adapted to weather and soil conditions, as well as knowledge of organic farming, and work in collaboration with local agricultural cooperatives and collectors to establish a stable production system.
Future Outlook
Pyrethrin, derived from plants, has stable demand as an environmentally friendly pesticide raw material, and with rising environmental awareness and the expansion of the organic agriculture market, demand for pyrethrum cultivation is expected to remain steady in the future.
