Production in Greenhous Plan
Production in Greenhous Plan
The plan to increase production in greenhouse controlled environments:
Iran has a dry and semiarid climate, and water is a key determinant in agricultural products production. Lack of water has tremendous effects on the growth of plants especially vegetables, which can grow in an open garden and in warm weather. After careful investigation, it was found that the water needed for vegetable in open gardens is about 12 times of the water needed in greenhouses. Interesting to note that the efficiency of production in greenhouses is almost 10 times of the open spaces.
Main goals:
- Increased production with the goal of increasing the food security and health
- Decreasing water consumption
- Increasing the export of agricultural products in order to positively increase agricultural trade balance
Major policies:
- Providing cheap equipment for Greenhouses Development
- Modification, remodeling of deteriorated production units
- Improvement and increasing product yield per unit area of the greenhouse
- Use seedling instead of direct seeding
- Making new markets and coordinating for entering into foreign markets
- Using high quality commercial grades
- Strengthening and completing the value chain of products
- Reviewing and setting up and maintaining the marketplaces, branding in target markets and encouraging exporters.
