"Monitoring and control can be done from Korea" Korean smart farm technology drives hydroponic strawberry production in Uzbekistan A 1.5-hectare smart greenhouse dedicated to strawberry production has been launched in Uzbekistan's Yukorichirchik district, representing a targeted effort to modernise underutilised greenhouse assets. © Firmmit Greenhouse interior: left side is still in idle state, right side is after remodeling Hydroponic cultivation for uniform quality Hydroponics forms the technical foundation of the greenhouse system, enabling precise control over plant nutrition and irrigation.

Why this matters: This is more than a smart-farm headline. It ties hydroponics, remote monitoring, AI-guided fertigation, varietal fit, and export economics into one operating model, which is much closer to the real challenge commercial teams have to solve.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this project more than a generic greenhouse case study?
It combines local facility conversion, hydroponics, software control, water-specific nutrient strategy, and export-grade fruit targets in one commercial system.
What should operators pay attention to in projects like this?
Whether the controls stack is adapted to local water chemistry, climate, logistics, and market specs. Those details determine whether the model scales profitably.
