Crops and greenhouse fit
Ten crop profiles and three crop groups: the climate range, the systems each crop needs, and the first-season mistakes that cost the most.
Tomato
The crop that pays for high-tech glass: long cycles, high value per square metre, and a climate the house must hold for nine months.
Cucumber
Fast, high-volume and unforgiving: a cucumber crop tells you within a week whether the climate strategy works.
Sweet pepper
A long-cycle, high-value crop that rewards stable temperature and punishes every fluctuation.
Strawberry
Short cycles, high price per kilo, and a crop that lives or dies on humidity and harvesting labour.
Lettuce and leafy greens
Short cycles, tight delivery windows, and a crop that works well in film, PC or glass with modest climate control.
Culinary herbs
Basil, mint, coriander, parsley: high value per square metre, short cycles and a buyer who wants consistency every week.
Cut flowers
Rose, gerbera, chrysanthemum and lisianthus: light-hungry, pest-sensitive, and sold on stem quality rather than weight.
Seedlings and young plants
A propagation business sells dates, not plants: the batch must be ready the week the buyer booked.
Blueberry and soft fruit
Soilless blueberries under protection: a crop that has moved into houses to escape heat, wind, birds and rain.
Melon
Short-cycle melons under film: sugar content is set by light and water control in the last three weeks.
Vegetables
Tomato, cucumber, pepper, leafy greens, herbs and melons — the volume business that pays for most protected area.
Soft fruit
Strawberry and blueberry: short cycles, premium prices and a harvest labour model that decides profitability.
Ornamentals and young plants
Cut flowers and propagation: the segment where uniformity, pest control and delivery dates carry the price.
What these crop pages are — and are not
They set out climate ranges, the systems a crop normally needs, and the mistakes that show up in the first season. They are not yield promises: yield comes from the site, the climate strategy and the team running the house. Benchmark figures in the market pages come from published sources and are attributed.
If your crop is not here — blueberries, cannabis, saffron, vanilla, tree seedlings — the structure still follows the same logic. Send the crop and the climate and we will work through it with you.
Still deciding?
Send the crop, the area and the country. We will come back with a family recommendation and the questions that matter for your site.
