About DutchAgriTech

Greenhouse projects begin with a growing business, not a catalogue.

DutchAgriTech brings Dutch horticultural thinking to the early decisions behind commercial greenhouse development. The aim is to connect crop, market, site and operation before selecting the technical system.

Our approach

Make the important unknowns visible early.

A new grower may know the target crop but still need to confirm the buyer, water source, climate challenge or people who will run the greenhouse. An investor may have land and capital but need an independent production and operating brief. Those gaps should shape the next study and the proposed scope.

The historic DutchAgriTech website described this as crop-first design, practical technology and honest feasibility. Those principles remain useful. Product names from that earlier site are no longer current model recommendations.

Working principle

Crop before structure

The crop, product specification and harvest window determine what the greenhouse must do. A structure cannot answer those questions by itself.

Working principle

Technology with a purpose

Ventilation, screens, heating, cooling and irrigation belong in a design only when the site, crop and operating team justify them.

Working principle

Evidence before promises

Climate, water, market, labour and investment assumptions need to be recorded and tested before anyone relies on a budget or production forecast.

Working principle

A usable handover

The operator needs a workable production plan, training, maintenance responsibilities and a realistic start-up period. Delivery is not the end of the project.

Who this is for

Growers and project teams preparing a real commercial decision.

The first discussion can be early. It should be specific enough to identify the crop and buyer, likely site, available water and energy, operating team, intended timing and investment position. A project-specific review can then determine which data, specialists and technical comparisons are needed.

Explore: Understand crop options and greenhouse model tradeoffs.
Test: Study site, climate, water, market and operating feasibility.
Define: Separate equipment, local works, services and exclusions.
Prepare: Plan commissioning, training and the first production cycle.

Start with a clear brief

Tell us what is known and what still needs testing.

Use the project checklist to prepare an initial discussion, or review the feasibility study when a decision needs more evidence. Any design, price or performance assumption remains subject to project-specific verification.
