Hydroponic

Expansion project.

Our expansion project aims to increase the greenhouse area to 10 hectares in the next few years.

Quality product.

Using the hydroponic production system, we achieve production of premium habanero peppers with the highest quality.

Production capacity.

After 3 years of experience, we reached an annual production of 100 tons of Habanero Pepper.

Benefits of hydroponic crops
vs. Traditional crops

There are many advantage of hydroponic cultivation over traditional cultivation, here is a comparison between the two processes.

vs.

Traditional crop

Poor
Soil

Soils become poor and lose many nutrients with repeated harvests.

Loss of Properties

They lose their structure with continuous crops and the scarcity of organic matter.

+

Expensive
Manpower

High cost of labor in the plant cycle: harvesting, weeding, etc.

Loss of Fertility

Crops must be grown on productive soils, because poor soils result in losses.

Constant
Irrigation

Irrigation is fundamental in this kind of crop, because water stress must be avoided.

Hydroponic crop

Controlled
System

The space remains controlled in its characteristics and is reorganized again.

Abundant
Harvest

High crop density and increased overall yields due to excellent quality.

Pest
Control

Pests and diseases can be controlled preventively.

Expensive
Manpower

Low manpower demand, which represents a low cost in disinfection.

Say Goodbye to
Water Stressed

With hydroponic crops we can avoid water stress altogether.

HyFood, hydroponic as a production process for our specialty peppers

Hydroponic crop process by hyfood:

Our substrate is of the highest international quality standards, it's inert coconut fiber imported from Sri Lanka, encapsulated in a plastic ball that functions as a pot.

The substrate have been placed inside the greenhouses and irrigated with pure water for several irrigation pulses to generate an adequate swelling of the fiber and subsequent washing of salts from it.

All starts with the transport of the coconut fiber, day by day water is supplied with salts, which are dosed from the fertigation room system. Water with salts, which are dosed from the fertigation room, the water that is supplied to our crop contains salts for the needs of the plant.

Inside the greenhouse we have a system of and spacer, whose main function is to retain all the drained water volume to support the weight of the bolis together with the plant.

Using the hydroponic production system, we achieve production of premium habanero peppers with the highest quality.
