Capsicum (Bell Pepper) is the gold standard of polyhouse farming in India. Red, yellow, and orange colored capsicums fetch premium prices of ₹80–200/kg in domestic markets and even higher in export channels. Open-field cultivation of colored capsicum is nearly impossible in most Indian climates, making polyhouse the only viable option — and Agrifirst's solutions make it profitable.
Why Grow Capsicum in Agrifirst Polyhouse?
- Exclusive polyhouse crop — Colored capsicums require 18–27°C with controlled humidity, achievable only under protected cultivation
- Premium market price — ₹80–200/kg for colored varieties vs ₹20–40/kg for green capsicum
- Long harvest period — Plants produce for 7–9 months continuously in polyhouse conditions
- Export quality — Agrifirst polyhouse produces export-grade capsicum meeting international quality standards
- High yield — 60–80 tonnes/acre in polyhouse vs 15–20 tonnes in open field
Ideal Growing Conditions
Capsicum thrives at 18–27°C day temperature and 16–18°C night temperature with 60–70% relative humidity. Agrifirst's Fan & Pad cooling and automated climate control systems maintain these precise conditions year-round.
