Leamington, Ontario: There are an estimated 37,100,000 in Algeria’s population, a reliable food supply is necessary and so this African country has turned to hydroponics to grow vegetables.
In a land where water is scarce, hydroponics greenhouse technology conserves water and has turned the African hydroponic vegetable industry from rags to riches.
After a rocky start, Agribusiness in Africa has been developed into a true success story. Canadian companies have developed an Agri business planning and training of local farmers to grow hydroponic vegetables.
Together with Quebec based company; Climate Controls System of Leamington, Ontario a local greenhouse automation manufacture has built and delivered a hydroponic water treatment system to Algeria’s first hydroponic Tomato operation.
“We provide farmers with a complete water recovery and filtration process for irrigation waste water. This system will provide the greenhouse growers 30% to 40% savings on water and fertilizer costs. ” explains Eric M Labbate of Climate Controls Systems Inc.“ It was even ordered with a built in water chiller. The maximum temperatures of over 104°F (40°C) are common in the summer months over Algeria so we built the unit to handle cooling for the hot climates.”
Climate Controls Systems is no stranger to the greenhouse automation industry, Eric Labbate owner/ President has been self employed since the age of 18 and in the international greenhouse automation trade for over 25 years.
Since 1985, Labbate and his staff have custom built and manufacture computerized greenhouse control systems for growers across North America, Mexico and Abroad.
