CONTINUED EXPANSION OF THE DUTCH-FRENCH TOMATO PROJECT.
The tomato cultivation project at Les Serres D’Isigny in Normandy, France, is expanding by adding 4.3 hectares of greenhouse to their existing 8 hectares. The expansion is in response to increasing demand from the local French market and will feature a hybrid lighting system for sustainable year-round production. The new greenhouse is expected to be operational by the end of 2023, allowing the growers to supply fresh, juicy tomatoes to even more customers.
