Over the past six years, HydroNov has opened greenhouse facilities in both Shenzhen and Beijing and is in the process of constructing another in Shanghai. The visit to HydroNov's hydroponic lettuce greenhouse is intended to highlight the success of this Canadian SME working in the high-tech end of agriculture in China. A partner in Evergreen Vegetables, HydroNov has thousands of square metres of growing pools where millions of heads of lettuce are produced every year. Greenhouse operations are computer controlled to guarantee an ideal growing environment. Floating Raft growing technology, supplied by HydroSerre Mirabel, has helped make the company the biggest hydroponic lettuce grower in the world.
Current plans are to expand to Dalian and Shanghai and to export from China to Japan.
