According to incomplete statistics, at present, there are nearly 1,000 agricultural film production enterprises in the whole industry, with a production capacity of over 2 million tons, including about 60 enterprises with an annual production capacity of over 1 10,000 tons and about 30 large-scale backbone enterprises, all accounting for 60% of the national total. The annual consumption of greenhouse films has reached 700,000 tons, covering an area of 50 million mu. The annual sales volume of plastic film is about 450,000 tons, covering an area of more than 220 million mu. The actual consumption of agricultural film has exceeded 6.5438+0.2 million tons.
