New Hope for Melons in Egypt: Film Greenhouses Make Desert Cultivation Possible

Egypt is located in a desert region in North Africa with extremely dry conditions and significant soil salinity, which heavily restrict agricultural production. However, film greenhouses are revitalizing Egypt’s melon industry. These greenhouses effectively shield crops from external sandstorms and high temperatures, creating a humid and mild environment that helps melons grow healthily. By controlling the greenhouse conditions, farmers reduce the impact of soil salinity on melon growth, allowing crops to thrive under improved conditions.
Film greenhouses also play a crucial role in pest prevention, as their enclosed environment minimizes the risk of infestations, reducing the need for pesticide applications and resulting in melons that are cleaner and more organic. Greenhouses further extend the growing season for melons, freeing farmers from seasonal limitations and enabling them to optimize planting cycles for higher yields. The success of film greenhouse technology in Egyptian melon cultivation provides farmers with high-value crops and supports sustainable agricultural development.
