At present the share of Indian floriculture products in international market is about 0.6 per cent. According to (APEDA) data, in the year 2016–17, India’s total export of f loriculture was Rs 548.74 crores. Dry flowers alone contribute around 70 per cent revenue of the total f loricultural export There are over 300 export-oriented Floriculture Units in India, mostly located near Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and New Delhi, which have good facility for expert of live plant material for producing and exporting f lowers to the developed countries
Due to controlled conditions there’s higher germination, plant growth and crops mature quicker Crop is shielded from cold, wind, storm, rain and frost Use of water is optimized and there’s reduction in its consumption by 40-50% Importance of protected cultivation
Improved quality & amount of manufacture with long period of time Incidence of sickness and pests is reduced or eliminated Effective utilization of inputs Crops will be full-grown throughout the year . Best technology for industrial production of high worth crops like flowers, medicinal plants, etc.
Can be used for star drying agriculture products Involvement of labor pool will be reduced More Self-employment opportunities for educated youth on farm Certain crops cultivated year spherical to satisfy the market demands. High worth and top quality, even organic, crops fullgrown for export markets
Income from little land holdings can be greatly inflated . Successful nurseries from seeds or by vegetative propagation ready as and once necessary More farm self-employment options for educated youngsters.
Manipulation of the greenhouse’s microclimate and bug-proofing features for plant breeding and, as a result, the growth of new varieties and seed production.

The use of chemical pesticides and insecticides can be kept minimal to avoid their residues on the crop produce. Greenhouses are mostly used as rain shelters, particularly in high rainfall areas of India such as North-eastern states and coastal regions. In protected structures like polyhouses or greenhouses, factors such as temperature, relative humidity, sunlight, etc.
Also, the both the productivity and the quality of vegetable can be assured from the protected agriculture practices under the structure like naturally ventilated poly-house, screen house etc. rather than open field cultivation where the agriculture input resources can be utilized efficiently. many researchers had agreed that cultivation under protected agriculture structure is one and only one solution the cope with the alarming climate change effects
The total greenhouse area in India at the end of ninth plan period was estimated to be 800 ha. Ladakh region of J&K has the maximum number of units i.e. more than 14,000 and each unit is about 50 sq. mt.
The Government of India executes various schemes for protected cultivation at the central and the state levels to popularise these high-tech plant growing techniques. National agencies through their leading schemes viz. National Horticulture Board (NHB), National Horticulture Mission (NHM), Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH) and Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) which create awareness and provide financial support to the farmers, so that protected farming for high value horticultural crops could be adopted easily.
