Harnois Greenhouses and Dubois Agrinovation have announced a partnership to provide turnkey solutions for open-field and berry producers across Canada and the United States. This initiative stems from their successful collaboration on a significant project in Quebec, Canada, which led to the installation of 170 TunnelPro Plus greenhouses combined with Dubois' custom irrigation systems.
Together, the two companies hope to address the growing needs of producers seeking to protect their open-field crops by offering a solution combining high tunnel greenhouses and tailored irrigation systems for each block. This new offering, for areas starting at ½ hectare, is designed to improve predictability, increase yields and crop quality, and reduce operating costs.
A collaboration for open-field producers
The joint project has so far resulted in installing 170 high tunnel greenhouses, increasing productivity as early as the first season and significantly reducing operational costs (labor and machinery). Thanks to crop protection and the precision of the drip irrigation system, producers have also observed decreased water consumption and reduced use of crop protection products.
Corenthin Chassouant, VP of Greenhouse Sales at Harnois Greenhouses said: "This strategic partnership with Dubois Agrinovation allows us to provide producers with a turnkey solution adapted to new market demands and the challenges of climate change."
Martin Charbonneau, VP of Sales at Dubois Agrinovation added: "By collaborating with Harnois Greenhouses, we have combined our expertise to create a concrete offering tailored to the market's new realities. The irrigation systems we provide, combined with the high tunnel greenhouse, allow for optimal resource use and enhanced water management while supporting environmentally conscious agriculture."
