Cucumber production is expanding worldwide as demand for fresh, locally grown vegetables increases. From advanced glasshouses in the Netherlands and Spain to rapidly developing operations in North America and Asia, more growers are investing in controlled-environment systems to secure year-round harvests and higher yields.
Yet producing high-quality cucumbers takes more than technology alone. Success depends on maintaining the right balance of light, temperature, and humidity to ensure uniform fruit, healthy plants, and efficient energy use throughout the season.
At Svensson, we work with cucumber growers around the world to create ideal greenhouse conditions. Our climate screens help manage light, airflow, and humidity for stronger crops, improved consistency, and more sustainable production.
