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
