Uzbekistan launches smart greenhouse for Firmmit strawberry production

As we provide the news for free, we are relying on revenues from our banners. The project focuses on the introduction of advanced technologies and aims to increase yields while optimising resource use.
The greenhouse system allows for remote control of production processes. The facility was established on the site of a former greenhouse covering 1.5 hectares.
Strawberries of the Firmmit variety, originally bred in South Korea, have been planted and adapted to local climatic conditions. The variety allows control over fruit size, with a focus on larger berries.
Why this matters: For operators, the real question is whether the sensing, control, or data layer creates faster and better decisions. The facilities that win are the ones that turn visibility into tighter control and tighter control into better outcomes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does LED fixture selection matter in controlled environment agriculture?
Lighting decisions affect both crop performance and energy intensity. Fixture efficiency, spectral control, and placement all influence how much value a facility gets from every kilowatt-hour.
What should growers evaluate before adopting new LED systems?
Growers should look at fixture efficiency, controllability, crop-specific use case, integration with existing controls, and the operational payback period instead of treating lighting as a standalone hardware purchase.
