Freshchoi launches Dutch season for Asian leafy vegetables “With our import lines and Dutch production, we can offer a complete Asian range” At Freshchoi, the season for Chinese vegetables from Dutch greenhouses has started again. "In winter, 80% of our supply comes from Spain and 20% from our own production.
Now we are moving towards 100% own production." © Freshchoi Freshchoi grows Asian leafy crops under glass in the Pijnacker region on an area of 12 hectares. According to the grower, the number of players in the Netherlands remains relatively stable.
Why this matters: This matters when it gives operators a clearer way to manage water, nutrients, and root-zone risk. That kind of control usually improves both resource efficiency and crop consistency.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should growers evaluate before changing a lighting strategy?
They should look at crop type, canopy structure, current light distribution, energy cost, expected yield gain, and whether the new strategy improves whole-canopy efficiency.
Why is light distribution often as important as light quantity?
Because adding more photons to already saturated leaves does less work than improving how light reaches the parts of the canopy that are still underperforming.
