CROP CULTIVATION TIPS
Leafy Greens
Leafy greens are on the rise, with the global market projected to grow from $79.72 billion in 2023 to $132.95 billion by 2033. As controlled environment agriculture (CEA) advances, more growers worldwide are turning to greenhouses to meet demand for fresh, additive-free, and locally produced lettuces, arugula, herbs, and more.
But growing leafy greens successfully means maintaining a stable, spring-like climate year-round—even when snow blankets the greenhouse roof or intense summer sun beats down. With short, sensitive growth cycles, these young plants thrive only when temperature, humidity, and light are perfectly balanced.
At Svensson, we work with leafy greens growers across the globe to create ideal greenhouse conditions. From light diffusion to humidity control and energy savings, our solutions help you produce high-quality greens - no matter your climate or location.
