CROP CULTIVATION TIPS
Tomatoes
With global value expected to surge from $181 billion in 2024 to nearly $317 billion by 2033, tomatoes remain one of the most in-demand crops in controlled environment agriculture (CEA). Whether destined for fresh retail or processing, their year-round potential makes them a cornerstone of modern greenhouse production.
But meeting demand means managing challenges. From maintaining light levels in winter to cooling the crop in summer, tomatoes require precise climate control to thrive. Getting the balance right between temperature, humidity, and airflow is essential for healthy growth and consistent yields.
At Svensson, we support tomato growers across the world with climate screening strategies that improve light use, save energy, and stabilize growing conditions. From truss to cherry to cocktail tomatoes, our proven solutions help you grow stronger, higher-quality crops in any season.
Strong tomatoes start with a balanced climate
