The Round raised bed greenhouse would be a good product for the farmers of Nepal because the majority of farmers are subsistence farmers. Subsistence farming is when the farmer produces enough crops to feed themselves and their families (Nations Encyclopedia, 2015). This type of farming practice allows for individual families to support their own food needs but does not leave any leftover crop or very little leftover crop for selling to others. Such as selling to the people who live in the cities and towns who do not have the land space to produce crops and thus must buy from those who do produce crops. With the Round raised bed greenhouse every family will be able to produce their own vegetables or crops as a source of food to feed them-selves. The Round raised bed greenhouse could also be used to produce flowers that can then be sold much like having a floral business thus creating extra revenue.

By being able to produce large quantities of quality vegetables in a small area. The Round raised bed greenhouses being small and portable makes it easy to place anywhere whether that is on a porch, outside the front door, or even on the roof. The portable round raised bed greenhouse is a convenient product that can withstand the colder temperatures of the mountainous region in Nepal. As well it is protective against insects and pests because it is a closed structure but is easily accessible for the producer to roll back the top to harvest or water the crop. The round raised bed greenhouse is an environmentally friendly product as is can be used multiple times and is a sturdy product that is meant for long-term use. The product is also able to support multiple plant growth. Due to its functionality and easy transportation the round raised bed greenhouse can be used in the more remote mountainous regions where there is a higher percentage of food deficit areas (Nations Encyclopedia, 2015). Exporting this product to the mountain regions could be more of a niche market then exporting to the mid region and Terai region as the two lower regions have easier access routes to the larger cities thus if one needed to they could go and buy product. The mountain region is harder to access due to the rough terrain but with the round raised bed greenhouse one would not need to travel to obtain vegetables needed as a significant vitamin source but could grow the vegetables for their own use.
