Culinary herbs under protection
Basil, mint, coriander, parsley: high value per square metre, short cycles and a buyer who wants consistency every week.
Herbs are a logistics business: freshness at delivery decides price more than yield does. Harvest, pre-cool and ship as one chain.
Basil dislikes cold night temperatures and is prone to downy mildew in still, humid air.
Climate range and crop notes
| Day temperature | 18–24 °C |
| Night temperature | 12–16 °C |
| Humidity | 60–70 % RH |
| Light | 12–20 mol/m²/day by species |
| EC / pH | 1.2–2.2 mS/cm, pH 5.8–6.2 |
| Cycle | 21–35 days, cut or pot |
General horticultural ranges for a well-managed crop; local variety, light and market specification move these values. Not a yield guarantee.
First-season mistakes that cost the most
- One climate strategy for a multi-species range.
- No cold chain plan before planting.
