In order to create the ideal growing environment for plants, a greenhouse is a structure designed especially to control temperature, humidity, light, and ventilation. Typically, it consists of a transparent or translucent frame, such as plastic or glass, that allows sunlight to enter while trapping heat within. Glasshouses are used to cultivate a wide variety of plants, including ornamentals, fruits, vegetables, and flowers, in addition to prolonging growing seasons and protecting plants from bad weather. They can be as small as backyard models or as large as commercial facilities, with the goal of maximising plant growth and productivity. Sophisticated features like automated lighting, irrigation, and climate control are often included.
Middle East & Africa Greenhouse Market Driving Factors and Challenges
Driving Factors: Crop genetics can be enhanced by growing crops in the controlled environment of a greenhouse, which encourages the creation of healthier cultivars. Furthermore, compared to an open field, a commercial greenhouse requires less water. Producers can use as many pesticides and herbicides as needed to protect plants from diseases and other weaknesses because they don't depend on bees for pollination. In an open field, animals, locusts, and insects can pose a major risk to the product's quality. Although greenhouse conditions are controlled, commercial greenhouse farming has faster crop cycles than traditional agriculture. Vegetable harvests yield more than twice as much. Moreover, vertical farming produces more than twice as much land at a faster rate.
Challenges: For crops to grow properly in greenhouses, a few environmental conditions need to be met. Always pay attention to the appropriate levels of air quality, relative humidity, and temperature. For growth, they need the best water and light conditions available. It's critical to conduct regular monitoring and gradually modify the nutrient levels to meet the unique requirements of each crop's growth stage. Crop cultivation in commercial greenhouses requires precise application of fertiliser and efficient resource management. To achieve this, a careful examination of the crop, the environment, and the optimal growing circumstances is needed. As such, these crops are typically farmed correctly by experienced farmers.
Impact of COVID-19 on Middle East & Africa Greenhouse Market
The COVID-19 pandemic initially resulted in supply chain disruptions, construction delays, and workforce shortages that had a significant impact on the Middle East and Africa greenhouse market due to travel restrictions and health concerns. Operations and production were challenging as a result of these issues. The pandemic's emphasis on the importance of food security has led the government to enhance support and invest in greenhouse technology in order to expand local food production. In this era, the use of digital and automated technology, such as remote monitoring systems and autonomous irrigation, was accelerated with the goal of reducing dependency on labour and increasing efficiency.
