India Greenhouse Horticulture Market Trends:

Strengthening Global Collaborations in Greenhouse Horticulture

International cooperation in greenhouse horticulture is expanding, with countries forming strategic partnerships to enhance sustainable food production. Advanced greenhouse technologies are gaining prominence, driven by knowledge exchange and industry collaborations. Events and conferences are fostering discussions on precision agriculture, automation, and climate-resilient cultivation methods. Investments in protected cultivation are increasing, improving crop yields, resource efficiency, and market sustainability. Cross-border initiatives are supporting skill development and research, enabling localized solutions for greenhouse farming. Governments and private players are actively engaging in long-term projects to modernize horticulture through technology-driven solutions. These efforts are addressing climate challenges, ensuring food security, and boosting economic opportunities in agriculture. The emphasis is on building resilient, high-yield greenhouse systems through global expertise and cooperation. For example, in November 2024, Dutch greenhouse experts visited India as part of the HortiRoad2India initiative to strengthen Indo-Dutch collaborations in sustainable horticulture. The delegation engaged in discussions at the Krishi Bharat Conference in Lucknow and events in Chennai and Hyderabad, focusing on advanced greenhouse technologies and sustainable food production solutions.

Advancing Protected Cultivation for Sustainable Horticulture

India is increasingly adopting protected cultivation techniques to enhance crop productivity, quality, and sustainability. Government-backed initiatives are driving investments in greenhouse structures, enabling year-round cultivation and reducing dependency on traditional farming conditions. Controlled-environment agriculture is gaining momentum, integrating advanced horticulture technologies such as climate control, automation, and efficient irrigation systems. These developments are improving resource efficiency, minimizing weather-related risks, and boosting farmer incomes. With financial support and policy interventions, the expansion of greenhouse farming is accelerating, addressing food security concerns while promoting high-value crop production. The focus is on modernizing horticulture through technology-driven solutions, ensuring resilience against climate fluctuations, and fostering long-term agricultural sustainability. Investments in infrastructure and research are shaping the future of precision horticulture. For instance, in 2024, India's greenhouse horticulture sector expanded under the Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH). Since 2014-15, the initiative has facilitated protected cultivation across 2.51 lakh hectares with an investment of INR 2,963.91 Crore. This effort has improved productivity, crop quality, and farmer income through greenhouse structures and advanced horticulture technologies. The program continues to drive sustainable agricultural practices in controlled environments.
