Year-round cherry tomatoes, grown by nature's own energy

Year-round cherry tomatoes, grown by nature's own energy

Energy drawn from nature powers the greenhouse and reduces consumption throughout a system built to sustain itself

In Arnót, Hungary, we delivered a state-of-the-art 2 ha glass greenhouse for the cultivation of premium cherry tomatoes. Built to withstand the region’s demanding climate, the glass structure enables stable, high-quality production all year round. Heating is powered by geothermal energy: hot water from underground is stored in a tank and circulated through the greenhouse’s heating system. As a full turnkey EPC project, Netafim designed, supplied, and installed every system on site, from structure and climate control to irrigation, heating, and water treatment, delivering a single, integrated solution built for performance, efficiency, and long-term reliability.
