Five months after kick - off , the first roses have just been planted in a unexampled greenhouse that is currently being built by Israeli glasshouse provider Azrom in the responsibility of Shandong in China . The first 2.5 ha of the 16 hour angle greenhouse are plant and the residual of the greenhouse is design to be polish off by Mid - January . In the end , the entire project will cover around 30 - 40 ha . The pandemic has put an supernumerary challenge on executing the project , but Zviki Porat , Azrom ’s Global Marketing Manager , is pleased with how it all turn out .
Tailored made greenhouseIn May , the passel was close and on June Azrom get the construction of the 16 hour angle greenhouse in the city Rizho and just like every greenhouse they supply , this one is dissimilar and tailored to the climatologist conditions and the specific client ’s end . " The greenhouse is fit out with all kinds of systems that is required to grow high lineament roses in the Shandong climate . The weather condition in China is very wide-ranging ; in most areas the summers are very hot and the winters very cold . This requires practical thought process of solution for both season , take maximal energy efficiency and low costs . " Azrom is already quite experient in make tailored made greenhouses and does it for more than 60 years now .
" In recent years , there has been a tendency in the Chinese market to think that sophisticated farming is necessarily a glass greenhouse . you could see a good deal of glass greenhouse built in the last decade in China when many of them are empty or have become eatery . This is because Methedrine greenhouses are not desirable for the climate in most of China , especially in places where the summertime is very raging , which hit it very difficult to ventilate the greenhouse due to its technology design that was originally designed for the northern European mood , " he explains .
" After investigating all experimental condition and discourse all needs from our client , our technologist decided what glasshouse they would design . It release out to become a Gothic structure with all systems , like three-fold cap vent , double projection screen ( blending and thermic ) , live water heating scheme , substrate gutters , and so on . It has is becoming a high - technical school greenhouse . " At the moment , the first 2.5 ha of the 16 ha greenhouse is finished and plant and the other hectares are currently under construction . " The structures are already built , and teams are working heavily on finishing installation of the privileged systems . "
need for high timbre rosesIn China , the need for all kind of local yield , include roses , is increasing , explicate Porat . " The country wants to become more ego - sufficient . On top of that , the in-between class is catch bigger and bigger and they have more money to spend , so are also more willing to pay for good lineament roses . "
Strategic locationBut why in the Shangdong responsibility ? In aprevious article , Porat explained the rationality of their client to choose this localization : " In China , the demand for eminent - lineament flower is increase . Traditionally , and due to climatical reasons , 70 - 80 % of China rose cultivation is in the Southwest part of the country ( Yunnan province ) ; however , the best markets are locate about 3,000 km from there , in the plenteous Eastern coast ( Shanghai ) and in the North of China ( Beijing ) . The distance between the production floor and the securities industry steer to high terms for the consumers , that is due to transportation cost and depreciation . For this reason , a large grouping that got recently involved in agriculture decide to build up a eminent stock greenhouse closer to the main grocery , in Rizho . This city is situated right between Beijing and Shanghai , 700 kilometre from Beijing and 600 km from Shanghai . In this way , they can touch the demand for in high spirits character rose wine , for reasonable prices as transportation is inadequate . "
Challenging timesThe pandemic resulted in challenging clock time for many countries across the globe . Also , for Azrom , it has been a challenging menstruation , but this one in China is one they are proudly looking back to . " The primary challenge was to get our supervisors over from Israel to China . We managed to do it and after a couple of weeks of quarantine , they were able to be present on site . fortuitously , Azrom has a mill in China since more than 10 years ago , and since 2014 , we have formally afford our office in China , recruited and train local engineers and build a strong selling and mathematical process team . Our agency is located in Kunming , Yunnan province . We already had projects in China before , but in 2014 , we settle to put a " man on the ground " and it proved itself as the right-hand conclusion . We were well-chosen that we could persist in during the pandemic with our local team . " They only had the challenge of get down some product . " Some components we need to import , but due to local sourcing we enable to find mellow quality alternatives . We learned how to deal with the challenge of getting them to the web site , but by ameliorate the logistics , we were able to follow through them successfully in the project . "
Global presenceAzrom supplies cut made greenhouses all over the world . Even though the pandemic is create a billet in which the ship’s company want to be more creative , Azrom is determined to continue transpose their knowledge worldwide . " Covid-19 create challenges , but we will find solutions . It is in our DNA . Also , when looking at our nursery . We do not just supply a nursery , but we trade a complete solution . As fast as possible , the greenhouses need to become profitable and we will do all we can to help the growers to come after . So , we do not stop when we completed a greenhouse project . "
