Multi-arch greenhouse export case: the successful transformation of strawberry cultivation in Chile
I. Project background
Chile has become one of the world's important fruit exporters due to its unique geographical location and climatic conditions. In particular, the strawberry cultivation industry has developed rapidly in Chile in recent years. However, the traditional strawberry cultivation method is limited by seasonal changes and natural disasters, resulting in unstable production and insufficient export competitiveness. To solve this problem, a large agricultural company in Chile reached a cooperation agreement with our company to introduce multi-arch greenhouse technology, aiming to improve strawberry production and quality through modern agricultural facilities and expand the export market.
II. Project implementation
Demand analysis and solution design:
The Chinese equipment manufacturer sent a professional technical team to Chile for a field investigation to learn more about the local climate conditions, soil characteristics and specific needs of strawberry cultivation. Based on the results of the investigation, a multi-arch greenhouse solution suitable for the Chilean climate was designed. The greenhouse adopts a high-strength aluminum alloy frame, covered with high-transmittance polycarbonate sheets, and equipped with advanced equipment such as automatic irrigation, environmental monitoring and control systems.
Production and transportation: Greenhouses are produced in a standardized manner in Chinese factories to ensure product quality and construction period. After manufacturing, all components are shipped to Chilean ports by container and then transferred to the project site.
Installation and commissioning: The Chinese technical team guided the installation on site to ensure that each link met the design requirements. After the installation was completed, the greenhouse's environmental control system, irrigation system, etc. were fully debugged to ensure the normal operation of all equipment.
III. Project results
Yield increase:
The implementation of multi-arch greenhouses has freed strawberry planting from seasonal restrictions and achieved year-round production. Compared with traditional planting methods, strawberry yields have increased by more than 30%.
Quality optimization:
The environmental control system in the greenhouse can accurately control temperature, humidity and light, providing the best conditions for strawberry growth. The quality of strawberries has been significantly improved, and the fruits are fuller, the color is brighter, and the taste is better.
Export growth:
High-yield and high-quality strawberries have greatly improved Chile's competitiveness in the international market for this agricultural product. Exports have increased by 20%, and the export market has expanded from traditional North America to Europe and Asia. Economic benefits: After the implementation of the project, the economic benefits of the agricultural company have been significantly improved. It is estimated that the annual additional income exceeds US$1 million, and the return on investment is as high as 25%.
IV. Experience summary
The importance of technical cooperation:
The cooperation between China and Chile in agricultural technology has fully utilized their respective advantages and achieved mutual benefit and win-win results. The combination of China's advanced greenhouse equipment manufacturing technology and Chile's agricultural planting experience has created significant economic benefits. Design tailored to local conditions: The design of greenhouses must fully consider local climatic conditions and planting needs to maximize their advantages. The multi-arch greenhouses in this project are tailored to the specific conditions of Chile, and thus have achieved good results.
Perfect after-sales service:
The full range of after-sales services provided by equipment manufacturers, including technical training, equipment maintenance, etc., provide a strong guarantee for the long-term and stable operation of the project. This multi-arch greenhouse export project has not only brought revolutionary changes to Chile's strawberry planting industry, but also accumulated valuable experience for Chinese greenhouse equipment manufacturers to open up international markets. In the future, the two sides are expected to carry out in-depth cooperation in more areas and jointly promote the modernization of agriculture.
