Brazil Commercial Greenhouse Market Size, Share, Opportunities, And Trends By Type (Free Standing, Gutter Connected), By Equipment (Heating System, Cooling System, Control System, Others), By Application (Fruits And Vegetables, Flowers And Ornamentals, Nursery Crops), And By Country - Forecasts From 2023 To 2028

The Brazilian commercial greenhouse market is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 2.62% from US$36.593 million in 2021 to US$43.868 million by 2028.

Brazil has a diverse climate. As a result, a variety of agricultural soils and climates can be effectively produced in greenhouses throughout the nation. In Brazil, over a million individuals are working in the greenhouse business. Numerous crops, including ones that might not be ideal for conventional farming techniques, can be grown in this region due to the favorable environment. Brazil has a sizable population, which means that many customers are interested in purchasing goods from a greenhouse farm. Additionally, the high humidity levels in Brazilian greenhouses aid in protecting plants from the adverse weather conditions outside.

Growing awareness of contemporary farming methods

The industry is expanding as a result of rising public awareness of contemporary farming methods and practices. Additionally, the country's diminishing arable area has increased demand for greenhouse farming. For instance, construction is currently underway in Brazil on one of the first contemporary production greenhouses for the cultivation of tomatoes. To meet the growing demand for locally produced, high-quality food in Londrina, a city in the state of Paraná in the south of Brazil, "Mais Sade" is constructing a greenhouse project.

Increasing adoption of modern farming techniques

Brazil's greenhouse farming is expanding as the country experiences warmer temperatures and drier soil. The practice of cultivating plants in a controlled environment was first pioneered in the Netherlands and has since grown to be a significant agricultural sector in many nations. With greenhouse farming, there are several things to consider, including crop kind, climate, and location. In Brazil, places with high temperatures and fertile soils are best for greenhouse farming. Further, Brazil is one of the world's top producers of greenhouses. In Brazil, there are currently around 6,000 greenhouses in use, producing an estimated 1.5 million metric tons of tomatoes and other crops annually as per the 2022 article by AgriFarming. Additionally, as per the 2023 report by USDA, the domestic consumption of oranges increased from 112.3 million boxes during 2021/22 to 114.2 million boxes during 2022/23.

Technical breakthroughs in commercial greenhouse

The commercial greenhouse industry in Brazil is seeing significant trends in technical breakthroughs like artificial intelligence, smart irrigation systems, pH monitors, and temperature control software, to name just a few. To address issues like disease prevention and insect management, indoor farmers may use technology like artificial intelligence, automated irrigation systems, pH detectors, and climate change. For instance, researchers at Embrapa and their collaborators created a methodology in September 2021 for the remote and automated satellite monitoring of the growth of areas in Brazil using integrated agricultural production systems. By using the mapping and the data produced, it is now possible to track the growth of sustainable intensification across the nation by obtaining annual quantitative indications concerning the adoption of those systems.

Rising adoption of greenhouses for the production of fruits and vegetables

Rising consumer demand for locally sourced, fresh produce has led to increased willingness to pay for high-quality, sustainably grown fruits and vegetables. Additionally, the climate-resilient environment provided by commercial greenhouses is becoming crucial in mitigating the effects of unpredictable weather patterns caused by climate change. Technological advancements, including automation and improved crop management, are enhancing productivity and quality, attracting both investors and farmers. Greenhouses also contribute to sustainable agriculture practices, aligning with global environmental goals. The government support, in the form of incentives and policies, further amplifies the growth prospects of this segment, creating a promising future driven by economic, environmental, and consumer-related factors.

Increasing growth potential

The export potential of high-quality, year-round production is also bolstering the Brazilian commercial greenhouse market. As per USDA, Brazil's agricultural sector has become a global powerhouse, ranking among the top five producers of 34 agricultural products and being the world's largest net exporter. This growth is due to factors like research, expanded land use, technology, and global food demand. For instance, in Dec 2022 Brazil's new venture, Farmer Brazil (Verdena brand), is set to export limes, avocados, and sweet potatoes to the EU. With over 1,000 hectares in São Paulo and a $5 million investment, they're focusing on organic, sustainable production. They've planted Tahiti Limes, avocados, and sweet potatoes, with plans for more crops. Certification for global markets is underway, and they'll export via European ports. The aim is to connect with potential partners and introduce the farm to the organic market soon.

Import of vegetables in Brazil

As per the report by OEC, in 2021, Brazil played a significant role in the global import market for Vegetable Products, importing a total value of $5.43 billion in this category. This placed Brazil as the 28th largest importer of Vegetable Products worldwide during that year. Interestingly, within Brazil itself, Vegetable Products ranked as the 9th most imported product, highlighting its importance in the country's trade landscape. The primary sources of Brazil's Vegetable Product imports were Argentina ($2.64 billion), Paraguay ($1.01 billion), Uruguay ($366 million), Chile ($154 million), and China ($147 million). Notably, between 2020 and 2021, there was substantial growth in Brazil's imports of Vegetable Products from specific countries. Argentina saw an impressive increase of $818 million, Paraguay followed with a growth of $333 million, and Uruguay's imports to Brazil in this category expanded by $110 million during this period.
