Naturipe announced the debut of its new greenhouse strawberries from Mexico. Naturipe Berry Growers, an owner of Naturipe Farms, has partnered in a strawberry greenhouse project based in central Mexico.
The project is in its first full acreage production and is a partnership between Naturberry and Berry Hill (grower Ignacio Castillo and his son Ignacio Castillo Jr.). The new strawberry greenhouse project focuses on utilizing pioneering technologies to grow strawberries.
The Berry Hill/Naturberry Strawberry Greenhouse Project serves as a learning opportunity to understand what technologies work best on a trial basis. “Our growers are always looking at new production technologies,” said Jerry Moran, vice president of sales at Naturipe Farms. “They never stop working to improve product quality and sustainability, and this project will allow us to leverage new technologies to continue to work towards a greener future.”
“We’ve made great progress to lessen our impact on the environment, but there’s still work to be done,” said Moran. “This initiative is one of many, as we constantly work to discover innovations that will ensure the future financial and environmental sustainability for our farmers and our communities.”
