Opportunity: -

The increasing demand for food security is driven by the essential need for food and water for survival. With the world population steadily increasing, the need for more food and water is expected to continue to rise until 2030 and 2050. The challenge lies in whether the Earth's surface area can sustain this growth. Agriculture has played a significant role in supporting the population growth, but questions arise about the planet's capacity to accommodate this growth. Developing countries, in particular, face significant challenges in ensuring food security. Agricultural films are becoming increasingly important in boosting food production by helping to grow crops in limited areas, thereby supporting the agricultural industry.
