A 5.3 hectare melon greenhouse, the Moroccan Tomato Conference and GreenTech Amsterdam!

In Mexico, Greennova's 5.3-hectare greenhouse allows for year-round melon production, using advanced climate systems managed by VB, which oversees 15 hectares of greenhouse space. Mexico's agricultural industry, particularly in fresh produce like tomatoes, continues to grow, driven by the strong purchasing power in North America.

In Morocco, the third Moroccan Tomato Conference highlighted the growing international interest in tomato cultivation, bringing together stakeholders from across the supply chain. In Europe, greenhouse innovations are also flourishing, with technologies like star-shaped heating pipes from Poland and high-pressure fogging systems in Canada, designed to optimize production efficiency.
