Application areas/opportunity
In city areas,availability of fresh vegetables are very less,the vegetables we are getting will be more than three days old and may be poisoned by chemicals and pesticides.These vegetables are coming from long distant farms or may be from other states.We won't have any type of systems to check how they are treated and raised in farms.Increased use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers will affect the health of people who consumes the vegetables from such farms.So there is always a good market for locally produced Organic vegetables.The transportation charges also will be less.So the real market of our Greenhouse comes here in such cities were availability of fresh and locally produced vegetables are very less.
Greenhouse on Terrace
For constructing greenhouses,we need some free space.In cities the availability of free land is very less and are very costly.So we need to think about alternative ideas.Here comes the idea of Greenhouse on Terrace.Yes,we can utilize the free space on our terrace to construct a successful Greenhouse.You need Poly Greenhouse sheet for roofing.The structures are built using GI pipes or Aluminium Pipes.You need a fabricator to make the Structure.Once the Structure is made,Cover the Whole structure with the Poly sheet.If you are using natural ventilation,provision for it should be given.You should keep the inside temperature cool.For home usage,Simple construction will do.If you are doing it as a business,you should get proper training from government agencies and seek the professional help.
Implementation and Marketing
All you need to do is to study about greenhouse technology properly and understand its applications in practical way.It is a new technology in India.Try to have some ideas on latest technologies like Soilless farming,Drip Irrigation systems,use of Fertilizers for better farming experiences.Then invest on Greenhouse to build a suitable one. Marketing won't be a problem if you are staying in City.If you can convince the people around you about the quality of your products,then the market will come to you.
