Growing Awareness of the Benefits of Greenhouse Cultivation Driving the Market Demand

Greenhouse cultivation, also known as protected cultivation, has been gaining significant popularity in recent years as it provides an efficient way of farming in a controlled environment. In Canada, the greenhouse market is rapidly growing, with an increasing demand for fresh produce and the adoption of innovative technologies for efficient farming. In 2019, the vegetables and fruits cultivated through greenhouses amounted to USD 1.6 Billion which is growing consecutively over the last six years.

Greenhouse cultivation is the practice of growing crops in a protected environment, where the environment can be controlled to optimize plant growth. In Canada, the harsh weather conditions make it challenging to grow crops all year round, and here, the role of greenhouse cultivation comes from Canada. By growing crops in a protected environment, farmers can control temperature, humidity, light, and other factors that affect plant growth, resulting in higher yields and better-quality produce.

The reduced use of pesticides and herbicides is one of the significant benefits of greenhouse cultivation. As the environment is controlled, farmers can use natural methods to control pests and diseases, which is beneficial for both the environment and consumers. This has led to an increased demand for greenhouse-grown produce as consumers become more conscious of the impact of conventional farming on the environment and their health.

Another advantage of greenhouse cultivation is the efficient use of water and other resources. In a protected environment, water is recycled, and fertilizers are carefully managed, resulting in less wastage and more sustainable farming practices. This has become a crucial factor as water scarcity becomes a growing concern in many regions of Canada.

Also, the rising demand for locally grown produce has contributed to the growth of the greenhouse market in Canada. In Canada, there are over 838 greenhouse vegetable farms across the country. The adoption of innovative technologies such as hydroponics, vertical farming, and LED lighting has made greenhouse cultivation more efficient and cost-effective. These technologies enable farmers to grow crops in smaller spaces, using fewer resources and achieving higher yields. As a result, the greenhouse market in Canada is becoming increasingly attractive to investors, entrepreneurs, and farmers alike. Therefore, the easy availability of raw materials is expected to propel the demand of the Canada greenhouse market in the forecasted period.
