Increasing Demand for Crop Protection Nets and Shade Nets
The Indian agro textiles industry is experiencing an increasing demand for crop protection nets and shade nets due to the country's growing agricultural industry. With agriculture in India being challenged by erratic weather conditions, pests, and harsh temperatures, these textiles provide essential protection to crops. Shade nets assist in temperature regulation and crop protection from direct sunlight, enhancing yield quality, particularly for delicate crops such as fruits and vegetables. Conversely, crop protective nets are used more frequently for protecting the crop from pests like insects, birds, and external attacks. Additionally, the increased consciousness among farmers of the advantages of applying these products, coupled with government initiatives supporting sustainable farming methods, is encouraging the growth in agro textiles. For instance, in December 2024, a scheme was launched under the National Horticulture Mission (NHM) in 2024-25 to support farmers by funding the installation of shade net houses. These nets enhance crop protection, extend growing seasons, improve yields, reduce pesticide use, and increase farmers' incomes.
Growth of Geotextiles in Soil Erosion Control
Geotextiles are increasingly being adopted in India for soil erosion control and land reclamation projects, reflecting a key trend in the agro textiles market. These fabrics, designed to prevent soil erosion, are used in agricultural lands, as well as infrastructure projects like road construction and flood control systems. With India’s vulnerability to natural disasters like floods, which cause significant soil erosion, the demand for geotextiles has risen sharply. For instance, as per industry reports, approximately 30% of India's landmass faces minor soil erosion, while 3% suffers severe topsoil loss, further supporting the trend. These textiles help stabilize soil, reduce water runoff, and improve crop growth by maintaining soil fertility. Additionally, their usage in agriculture helps in reducing water wastage and maintaining soil health, thereby contributing to more sustainable farming practices. Furthermore, as India pushes for more eco-friendly and efficient agricultural practices, geotextiles are poised to play a crucial role in preserving arable land and improving productivity in the long term.
