Berry Hill and Nursery Hill are currently very active in strawberry production in the U.S. market. The mother plant production is carried out on 12 hectares of high-tech greenhouse at Berry Hill and 7 hectares at Nursery Hill, and their mission is to grow good quality strawberries in an environmentally responsible manner.
As a technology partner, Ritec has had the privilege of playing a part in the development of Berry Hill and Nursery Hill.To this end, they have implemented Nutritec for fertigation and Clinvertec for climate control, achieving a remarkable 99% success rate in plant rooting. Both technologies are provided by the Spanish company Ritec.
"They have adopted zero waste practices and grow without pesticides, with a hydroponics system that maximizes efficiency in the use of water and nutrients," says Raquel Peregrín, from Ritec's marketing department.
"It is a high density planting model mainly intended for an efficient production. There's a growing demand from the U.S. market that is met through Naturipe," she says. "They are also making a positive social impact by creating local employment and strengthening communities. Each plant grown represents an opportunity for growth and prosperity for those around them."
