A NEW commercial greenhouse in Queensland has proved its worth, enduring a hail storm during its opening week last month.
Melbourne-based tomato, capsicum, zucchini and eggplant grower-packer Young Sang & Co revealed the first stage of its project which covers 4.3 hectares of farmland at North Gregory in Bundaberg.
The greenhouse includes a state-of-the-art automated retractable roof from Canadian manufacturer, Cravo.
The greenhouse is the first of its kind in vegetable production in Australia and uses a hybrid growing system, which boasts the best of both outdoor and protected systems.
