Today, greenhouse production appears to be a growing production method in vegetable and fruit production. The advantages such as enabling isolation of agricultural production against natural factors, allowing a controlled production process, enabling agricultural products to grow in a longer period outside of the normal growing conditions, increasing the efficiency got per unit area and contribution to demand of agricultural products caused by the increasing population have great affect. This activity has shown a significant progress in the Black Sea Region of our country because of understanding the value of greenhouse cultivation and growing interest in green housing. In this context, greenhouse cultivation is in a worth considering improving trend in Giresun Province which is our study area. In fact, 715.5 tones product was obtained from 187 greenhouse cultivation areas as of 2012 (products such as cucumber mainly and tomatoes, lettuce, peppers and beans). In addition, studies for the cultivation of trees and ornamental plants are in progress. As a result of our research, Giresun Province has a developable potential for the greenhouse cultivation. If the greenhouse cultivation is supported and developed, we believe that this industry will contribute especially family of farmers in rural areas of Giresun as an important source of living.
