Under the HortiRoad2India public-private partnership, a consortium of Dutch greenhouse builders, technology suppliers and knowledge partners is developing three high-tech strawberry greenhouse projects in India, spanning several hectares across Punjab, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. These projects represent an early test of adapting Dutch greenhouse systems to Indian horticultural and climate realities rather than simply copying European designs. The initiative brings together Dutch Greenhouse Delta, InnovationQuarter, Rotterdam Partners and the Dutch government to link Dutch technology with Indian growers, investors and authorities. A primary goal is to use advanced climate control, irrigation and fertigation systems to significantly increase strawberry yields and water efficiency compared with current mid-tech structures in India. Training and knowledge transfer are central to the partnership. Growers and technical staff will receive both onsite and remote support to build local expertise that can be applied to future crops. The project aims to demonstrate productivity gains that justify broader investment and expansion into other high-value greenhouse crops under Indian conditions.
