Why download our 3rd. release of our Trends in Agricultural Plastics eBook on the increase in protected agriculture in the world?

The practice of using agricultural plastics to cover vegetable and fruit crops has increased in recent years and it’s now a global trend. There are several reasons why farmers around the world are leaning more towards the use of these plastics, one of them being the protection these plastics offer to crops from the environmental damage caused, to a large extent, by global warming and climate change.

Reports of damage caused by intense storms, extreme droughts, floods, and even fires seem to be increasing, a situation that worries and keeps growers on alert, not only in large agricultural regions such as California in the United States, Chile in Latin America or Spain in Europe but also in all corners of the world where there have been extreme variations in the weather that have negatively affected food production.

According to Borja Devís, Agronomist Engineer of the Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain and Responsible for the area of the Agricultural Plastics division of the Armando Alvarez Group, mainly for the markets of Chile, Uruguay, Egypt, Italy and the west coast of the United States, it’s important to consider these data reported annually in fields around the world in order to take strong measures to help protect fruit tree crops and ensure sustainable agricultural development.

In this eBook you will find more info related to trends in crops grown under cover and their global market volume.
