Role of Agricultural Films in Enhancing Crop Productivity
Agricultural films have become one of the most vital innovations in modern farming, offering solutions to challenges like food security, climate variability, and limited natural resources. These films, commonly made from polymers such as polyethylene (PE), ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), and polypropylene (PP), are used in mulching, greenhouse coverings, silage wrapping, and tunnel farming. Their role extends beyond protection—agricultural films improve soil productivity, regulate temperature, and boost crop yields, thereby ensuring that farmers can meet growing global food demands.
The primary driver behind the market’s growth is the rising global population and the corresponding pressure on the agricultural sector to maximize productivity from limited arable land. Mulching films, for instance, are widely used to conserve soil moisture, suppress weeds, and improve nutrient efficiency, creating favorable conditions for crops. Greenhouse films have enabled year-round farming, even in regions with harsh climates, by offering controlled environments that extend growing seasons and improve produce quality.
