I. European market

Policy support and subsidies

Many European governments actively promote the development of plant factories and provide financial support for related projects. For example, the Dutch government encourages agricultural innovation and sustainable development through subsidies and other measures, helps the application of technologies such as plant growth lamps in the agricultural field, and improves agricultural production efficiency and competitiveness.

The French government provides a certain proportion of subsidies for greenhouses that install energy-saving LED plant growth lamps to reduce energy consumption and improve the sustainability of agricultural production.

Some EU countries also provide research and development funding support for farms that use advanced plant growth lamp technology to promote the innovation and application of agricultural technology.

Market access requirements

The EU has strict requirements for market access for plant growth lamps. Products must comply with EU standards such as electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and low voltage directive (LVD) and obtain CE certification marks to ensure the safety and reliability of products in the EU market.

Products must also meet relevant energy efficiency standards, such as the EuP directive, to reduce energy consumption and environmental impact.

Some countries also have certain requirements for performance indicators such as the spectrum and light intensity of plant growth lamps to ensure their effectiveness and safety for plant growth.

II. North American Market

Policy Support and Subsidies

The US government supports the development of indoor agriculture and vertical farms. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides research funding to promote the application of plant growth light technology in improving crop yields and quality. Some state governments provide tax incentives and other policy support to farms that use energy-saving plant growth lights to promote the sustainable development of local agriculture.

In order to promote agricultural innovation and sustainable development, the Canadian government subsidizes farms that use advanced plant growth light technology. For example, Ontario's agricultural funding program provides financial support for greenhouses that install LED plant growth lights to reduce energy costs and improve agricultural production efficiency.

Market Access Requirements

The United States and Canada have clear requirements for market access for plant growth lights. Products must meet relevant safety and performance standards, such as UL certification in the United States and CSA certification in Canada. Obtaining these certifications is an important condition for products to enter the market to ensure product quality and safety.

Products must also meet local electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards to avoid interference with other equipment.

Some regions have clear requirements for the energy efficiency of plant growth lights, encouraging companies to produce high-efficiency and energy-saving products to reduce energy consumption and environmental impact.

Major markets such as Europe and North America have clear policy support and subsidy measures for plant growth lamps, and also have strict requirements for market access. Enterprises need to understand and meet the relevant requirements in order to successfully enter and expand these markets.
