Did you know, that by 2050 the population of the earth will reach approximately 9 billion people?! An amount 25% + higher than it is today. That’s a lot of mouths to feed! With the rise in population, also comes the increase in need for optimum agricultural productivity and much of that weight is falling on the global agricultural films market. Luckily, Presco has been manufacturing quality agricultural film products since 1975, leading the industry in providing green solutions to agricultural problems. Agricultural film protects greenhouses by reducing UV radiation exposure, modifying soil temperatures, and assisting in preserving the nutritional value of food.  Exposure to elements can damage crops, requiring costs to be paid for replacement products and loss of sales. (Yes plants need sun-screen too!)

The desire to create new and innovative products to assist in the mass production of agriculture has been making headlines for years, and with that came the explosion of the agricultural film industry. The ability to produce various crops all year long gives farmers a distinct advantage over only being able to produce seasonal crops. Per the website www.marketsandmarkets.com, “The global agricultural films market is estimated to be USD 7.92 Billion in 2017 and is projected to reach USD 10.57 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 5.9% from 2017 to 2022.”
