We understand the importance of managing your commercial greenhouse projects in the right way. We’ve developed our greenhouse project model along the US Project Management Institute (PMI) guidelines and used our experience to apply them specifically to the greenhouse project cycle.
We then use the right digital tools like Microsoft Project to track your greenhouse project on a daily basis. It helps us keep our customers up to date with the process and different milestones.
There are many moving parts to a turnkey greenhouse project. One of our strengths at Gakon Netafim Greenhouse is our high level of expertise in-house, including agronomists, construction engineers, hydraulic engineers and heating and cooling engineers.
Having everyone as part of the same organization allows for better planning, more coherent project management and a guarantee of professionalism throughout the greenhouse project process.
We have over 5,000 employees working permanently in over 110 countries – in contrast to many greenhouse providers who rely on technicians flying in and flying out. If you ever need support our local team are there on the ground, and you won’t have to worry about travel delays or flight limitations.

Every turnkey greenhouse project is unique. But the foundation of each Gakon Netafim greenhouse solution is a tried and trusted greenhouse project model:
This first thing we do is a thorough evaluation of your greenhouse project’s feasibility to find the right greenhouse solution. We assess climate hazards, soil, location and the most suitable crops to grow. We can also develop a full economic analysis, including total costs, financial forecasts and projected ROI.
The next step in your greenhouse project is to design the master plan for your greenhouse solution, including structures and configurations, heating systems, cooling systems, irrigation & fertigation systems, cultivation techniques – each and every element inside the greenhouse that will eventually support your business plan.
Once the master plan is perfected, it’s time to put your greenhouse solution into action. Our greenhouse project managers oversee every activity, starting from groundworks and water sourcing to civil engineering works and building, all the way to formal commissioning and handover procedures.
Before handover we run a full training session on all systems. We also offer personalized, ongoing technical and agronomic support to make sure you see your desired returns long after the greenhouse project is implemented.
“We are very satisfied with the way Netafim carried out this cutting-edge greenhouse project. This project increases the export potential of our tomatoes and peppers greatly because of Netafim’s on-site expert training and support.”

Gakon Netafim had been involved in developing a glasshouse facility for the production of conventional and organic fruits and vegetables for the Steiner family.
One of Vietnam’s leading food retailers needed to guarantee a steady supply of quality fruit and veg to their shelves. We developed a major 70-hectare polyhouse structure, managing this commercial greenhouse project from end-to-end.
GP Alpha wanted a greener way to grow tomatoes all year round. With our resource-efficient structure and precision irrigation they’ve reduced water and fertilizer use by 40%.
We constructed a fully functioning commercial greenhouse project to provide fresh vegetables for oil and gas-field workers, 230km from the nearest city and in severe winter conditions.
Together with an experienced South African vegetable producer, we established a soilless blueberry production project protected from the hot and windy climate outside.
