Greenhouse for Strawberry Growing
Greenhouse strawberry production represents the highest level of intensification for this crop, enabling off-season production at premium prices. A closed structure controls temperature, humidity and photoperiod to trigger flowering at any time of year. For export, greenhouses are the standard because they guarantee clean, uniform fruit with the post-harvest firmness that international markets demand.

Off-season production
Photoperiod control allows flowering induction at any time, accessing market windows with prices 2-3× higher than peak-season rates.
Botrytis elimination
Managing relative humidity below 70% during critical hours is the difference between 5% post-harvest losses versus the 40%+ losses seen in open-field production.
Export-ready clean fruit
No soil contact, rainfall or insect exposure means greenhouse strawberry meets US, European and Asian market food safety requirements without additional treatments.
Agronomist Tip
Schedule all irrigation to finish before 2:00 PM in greenhouse strawberries, late afternoon with wet foliage and dropping temperatures is the optimal window for Botrytis cinerea to colonize ripening fruit.
