How the greenhouse works

Growing is soil-less, in the NFT system: the roots bathe in a film of nutrient solution circulating in a closed loop.

Diagram of an NFT growing channelThe nutrient solution is pumped from a tank, flows as a thin film through a slightly inclined channel where the plants grow, then returns to the tank in a closed loop.

APIA · Agricultural investment

Prepare your investment support application with us.

Agricultural investment support schemes may be available depending on project eligibility. Our team can assist with the preparation of the application.

The Agricultural Investment Promotion Agency (APIA) is the Tunisian public body that supports private investment in agriculture.

Any support payment may take 1 to 2 years after the application is filed.

Programme applicable in Tunisia only.

After delivery

You're not left on your own: initial training, monthly sessions and five years of agronomic follow-up.

1000 m² NFT hydroponic greenhouse

The 1000 m² model matches a large-scale operation, designed as a personalised study on quote rather than a standard product.

A large-scale operation

At 1000 m², you enter a logic of high-volume professional production. This format is aimed at investors, established farms and structured projects targeting a significant commercial outlet.

Because every plot, every access route and every goal differs, we do not offer ready-made figures for this surface. We build a personalised study with you, as close as possible to your real constraints.

This approach guarantees the right sizing: neither over-investment nor under-capacity, but an installation calibrated to your ambitions.

Phased planning

A project of this size is rarely run in a single block. We favour step-by-step planning, which lets you scale up in a controlled way and secure each phase before moving to the next.

This gradual ramp-up eases team learning and logistics organisation. You move forward methodically, at a sustainable pace.

Each step is discussed with you, so that technical decisions stay aligned with your production goals.

  • preliminary study of the land and access
  • sizing of the NFT system and hydraulic circuit
  • logistics planning and work phasing
  • an agronomic plan dedicated to your production
  • support with the APIA application, if the project is eligible

A dedicated agronomic plan

On such a surface, success rests on rigorous crop management. We draw up a specific agronomic plan, adapted to your production and your commercial calendar.

Basil, our flagship crop, remains well suited to this scale, and we support you with commercial outlets, whatever the size of your operation.

Our agronomists provide a three-year follow-up under a service contract, with initial training and monthly sessions, to support you over the long term.

The efficiency of large-scale hydroponics

At 1000 m², the strengths of NFT hydroponics come fully into their own. Closed-loop water circulation sharply reduces consumption, a central issue for an operation of this size in the Tunisian climate.

Work organisation also gains in efficiency: raised-channel growing, no weeding and easier harvesting limit hardship and the workforce required. You produce more without multiplying the daily constraints.

This control over resources and labour is what makes a large surface truly efficient and sustainable. We place it at the heart of every 1000 m² study we conduct with you.

Turnkey support, on quote

The turnkey scope remains our commitment: structure, NFT system, hydraulic circuit, electrical installation, transport, assembly and training. The pricing, however, is set on quote, after a personalised study.

We also guide you through preparing your APIA application. Depending on project eligibility, agricultural investment support schemes may be available; our team can assist with the preparation of the application.

Frequently asked questions

What is the price of this hydroponic greenhouse?

Our greenhouses are quoted on request, according to size and your project. Depending on project eligibility, agricultural investment support schemes may be available; our team can assist with the preparation of the application.

What does the turnkey offer include?

The structure, the NFT system, the hydraulic circuit, assembly and electrical installation, transport and initial training. A greenhouse ready to produce.

How long does it take to install the greenhouse?

Once the project and application are validated, the turnkey installation is carried out by our teams. The precise schedule is confirmed in your quote.

Are training and follow-up included?

Yes: initial training on delivery, monthly sessions and agronomic follow-up as part of a three-year contract.

Where can I review the profitability estimates?

The detailed production, operating-cost and profitability estimates are in this model's brochure, which you can download from this page.

How does the APIA application work?

Agricultural investment support schemes may be available depending on project eligibility. Our team can assist with the preparation of the application. Any support payment may take 1 to 2 years after the application is filed.

What daily maintenance is involved?

Three main tasks: balancing the nutrient solution, pruning the plants and maintaining the circuit. They're learned during the training, on your own greenhouse.

Do I need good land to install the greenhouse?

Hydroponics frees you from soil quality. What matters most is a location, access to water and electricity — land unsuitable for conventional farming can work.

Can I change crops later?

The NFT system suits leafy and aromatic crops. We advise you on the crops suited to your greenhouse and your market.

What happens in a power cut?

A well-sized system tolerates short interruptions. Our recent installations include a solar power supply for greater autonomy.
