Greenhouse cultivation systems integrate the agricultural activities of horticulture and floriculture. In order to set up a greenhouse installation, you need to have enough money as well as a proper plan. Apart from setting up the primary facility, there are various other components that require money and financial assistance to operate as an entire system.
Costs associated with the purchase of electric motors incorporated into pumps, the purchase of tractors and other machinery equipment, the digging of wells and the installation of pipes, the installation of irrigation systems , planting fruits and vegetables, etc. are examples of such elements. To make sure all of these things run smoothly and smoothly, you’ll need a reliable source of funding.

The government grants subsidies as well as financial assistance for setting up a greenhouse. The grants awarded are either in the form of concessional loans or in the form of grants on the total cost of the project.
