Market Definition

Agriculture nets are made of material such as rubber, metals, fabrics or high-density polyethylene, also known as HDPE. The agriculture nets are majorly used in the farming industry to protect plants from solar radiations, UV rays and harsh weather conditions. Major advantages provided by agriculture nets are protection from ultraviolent rays and ability to create micro-environment for the crops. They are used in the nonwoven and woven form. Apart from agriculture, these nets are also used in floriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry. They have widespread application in household and commercial sectors for construction of provisional fences, car parking, fishing nets, window sheds, and scaffolding. Length and width of the nets vary from 1 m to 20 m and 25 m to 300 m depending on application. Increasing applications of these nets in agriculture and allied sectors and in other sectors such as construction, household is boosting the Middle East and Africa agriculture nets market.

Middle East and Africa Agriculture Nets Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increasing usage of agriculture net in horticulture and floriculture

The agriculture nets are becoming more useful and important in horticulture as they provide shade for the crops and prevent crops from excessive heat. The anti-hail nets also help to prevent crops from hails and improve the micro-environments that can boost the productivity and yield of the cultivation. The agriculture nets are used in horticulture and floriculture sectors for many applications and functions such as radiation scattering, photo selectivity. The horticulture segment productivity is highly dependent on the shadings and nets used in the practice, making agriculture nets one of the essential components in the practice.

Thus, with the increasing practices of horticulture and floriculture across the region, the demand of agriculture nets is increasing rapidly which is acting as a driver for the growth of the Middle East and Africa agriculture nets market.

• Growing initiatives for food security across the region

In present times, the Middle East and Africa region governments have been trying to increase their national food self-efficiency and food security by various initiatives since green revolution. Additionally, in past few decades with the increasing population and growing food demands, various nations have increased their focus on national food security. This has acted as the driving factor for the Middle East and Africa agriculture nets market, as these initiatives focus on increasing the agriculture production and ways through which local farmers can achieve it, thus as a result the demand for agriculture nets has increased.

Opportunity

• Globally increasing practice of terrace or rooftop agriculture

Rooftop agriculture practices are increasing rapidly especially in the urban areas as people are using blank space of roof for producing fresh vegetables, herbs, fruits, edible flowers. Productive green roofs combine food production with ecological sustainability, such as reduced rainwater run-off, provide temperature benefits such as potential reduction of heating and cooling requirements (resulting in reduced emissions), improved aesthetic value and air quality. The increasing practice of terrace agriculture has resulted in rise of demands in shading nets, anti-insect nets and wind break nets across Middle East and Africa, providing a growth opportunity for the Middle East and Africa agriculture nets market.

Restraint/Challenge

• Environmental concerns regarding use of agriculture nets

The agriculture nets are used in the agriculture, horticulture, aquaculture, and animal husbandry for various applications. Agriculture nets are used to protect cultivated crops from birds, insects, little animals, and other factors such as UV radiations and harsh weather conditions. The materials that these agriculture nets are made up of are mainly plastic, rubber, and metals. As the plastic nets are less costly with respect to other materials, they are produced on mass scale. The sustainability of plastic nets is causing environmental concerns as bio based plastic nets are easily biodegradable but conventional plastic nets such as High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Polyethylene (PE), and polyvinyl chloride are not eco-friendly. Thus, the non-ecofriendly feature of agriculture nets may hamper the market's growth.

Post-COVID-19 Impact on Middle East and Africa Agriculture Nets Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the Middle East and Africa agriculture nets market significantly. The persistence of COVID-19 for a longer period has affected the supply chain as it got disrupted, and it became difficult to supply the raw products to the manufacturers, initially decreasing the production rate of agriculture nets. However, post-COVID-19, the demand for agriculture nets has increased significantly owing to increased awareness about the agriculture nets benefits and the rise of horticulture and floriculture sectors. Consumers are trying to use the nets to boost yields and produce profit from the agriculture and allied sectors. Thus, post-COVID-19 the Middle East and Africa agriculture nets market is expected to bloom due to increasing initiatives for food security across the region and increasing usage of agriculture nets in other applications.
