Global Greenhouse Produce Market Is Estimated To Witness Growth Owing To Increasing Demand For Food Due To Rising Population

Growing crops in greenhouses is an effective way to ensure a steady flow of fresh produce all year long. It also enables farmers to grow perennial crops and use an integrated crop production and protection management approach. This method also allows growers to better control pests. Furthermore, greenhouse produce has an excellent export potential and contributes to the country's foreign trade balance. One of the most important aspects of greenhouse production is proper sanitation. Proper sanitation and temperature control are crucial to preventing pests and ensuring that crops remain in good health. Proper lighting is crucial for keeping plants healthy in winter. Tomatoes are one of the most popular greenhouse vegetables. They come in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. Beefsteak tomatoes are very popular and many growers are now focusing on this variety. The market for greenhouse produce is being driven by several factors, including a growing demand for healthy food and the shortage of agricultural land in many areas.

Rising demand for greenhouse horticulture for supplying high-quality crops is estimated to propel growth of the global Greenhouse produce market over the forecast period. For instance, Somer Sondaj and the Richel Group are together planning to build a greenhouse in Eskisehir, Turkey in 2021. The structure will be expanding up to 5 hectares and will be 6m high than usual. Moreover, increasing expenses of operating these greenhouses is estimated to hinder growth of the global greenhouse produce market over the forecast period.

The outbreak of coronavirus had a devastating effect on several sectors globally. Many nations imposed social distancing measure, quarantines and lockdowns for avoiding the spread of COVID-19.  Many individuals are isolating themselves from crowded places and gatherings. These measures have also affected the agricultural sector, as it led to disruptions in crop harvesting and daily activities. Lockdowns also affected the movement of supply trucks and delayed their movement. This led to disruptions in movement of agricultural trucks to the consumers and markets. Several greenhouse producers could not transport their produce, which delayed exports and imports. Thus, COVID-19 had a negative impact on the global greenhouse produce market. However, many government initiatives helped in addressing the food crisis and they also ensured food security in the society for recovering from this situation.
