High Tunnel Technique

Benefits from year-round production include

year-round income, retention of old customers,

gain in new customers, and higher prices at times

of the year when other local growers (who have

only unprotected field crops) find difficult to

produce. In summers for off season vegetables

cultivation high quality indeterminate seed is

easily available in markets.

Seed and its Importance

For tunnel cultivation, F1 hybrid seed bred fortunnel use is used, because they have the ability toresist multiple diseases. These hybrid seeds cost

more than the ordinary seeds. The ordinary seed isproduced from the crop itself whereas hybrid seedis produced through a special process. For every

crop, new hybrid seed needs to be purchased /sown. The crop yield achieved from hybrid seeds is3 to 4 times more than to the ordinary seeds and isalso less prone to diseases.

OT Analysis

Opportunities1. Hybrid seeds that provide higher yield can lead to lower

unit cost.

2. Off-season cultivation of high value vegetables will fetchbetter price and provides continuous supply.

3. Higher returns can be obtained by producing the rightcrops, at the right times and of better quality.

4. Expanding the horizon by purchasing more land andincreasing yield.

5. Export markets exist like the Middle East, Far East.6. Partnering with hotels, restaurants for supply etc

7. Training and guidance offered by NARC (Nationalagricultural research centre), Islamabad for promotion of

tunnel farming.


18/19

Threats
