Growing environment
The crop grows inside greenhouses, in coconut-coir substrate raised off the ground, protected from direct weather and away from soil contact.

Plants are trained on high-wire trellis and watered by drip fertigation. Irrigation water is filtered and dosed in an on-site fertigation room before it reaches the crop.
