by Greenhouse farming involves growing of crops and plants under a sheltered structure made up of transparent material like glass, polythene or fiberglass. It helps to control agricultural factors like temperature, light, humidity and soil composition to provide optimum farming conditions throughout the year. Greenhouse farming allows cultivation of wide variety of fruits and vegetables in a systematic manner irrespective of climatic conditions. Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Peppers, Lettuce, Strawberries are some of the commonly grown greenhouse produce. With increasing health consciousness, consumer preference for organically grown and pesticide-free produce has surged exponentially. The use of greenhouses allows organic cultivation practices to yield a bountiful harvest under controlled conditions.
The global Greenhouse Produce Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 28 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.7% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Dynamics:
The increasing consumer preference for organically grown fruits and vegetables remains the key driver bolstering the growth of greenhouse produce market.
