Hydroponic Farming Greenhouse in Hot Climate

TX Hydroponic – Transforming Hydroponics in Argentina with Our Integrated Solutions

From Shade Net to Greenhouse — The Cooperation Story of Nigerian Client John Udoidiong and MiilkiiaGrow

In the heart of Argentina, where the summer temperatures regularly exceed 40°C, one company is successfully growing high-quality vegetables and fruits in a challenging environment. TX Hydroponic, a forward-thinking hydroponic farming business, partnered with us to overcome the extreme climate conditions and optimize their greenhouse production.

The company, founded in 2021, is a testament to the power of innovation and collaboration. Their journey from starting out in hydroponics to becoming a successful supplier for local supermarkets is a remarkable success story, and we are proud to have supported them along the way.

The Challenge: Extreme Weather Conditions

Argentina’s summer heat presents a significant challenge for greenhouse farming. Temperatures often soar beyond 40°C, putting excessive stress on crops and threatening to reduce yields. This extreme climate not only impacts plant health but also demands advanced cooling solutions to maintain optimal growing conditions. TX Hydroponic needed a solution that would not only regulate temperature but also support long-term, sustainable growth for their crops.

Tailored Solutions for Sustainable Growth

As part of our commitment to providing tailored solutions, we worked closely with TX Hydroponic’s engineering team to design and implement a customized cooling and shading system that would keep their greenhouses cool during the harsh summer months. This system consisted of three main components:
1.Fan and Wet Curtain System: 
To reduce the internal temperature and humidity inside the greenhouse, we installed a fan and wet curtain system. This system uses evaporative cooling to efficiently lower temperatures, ensuring plants are protected from extreme heat while maintaining optimal moisture levels.
 
2.Shading System: 
The shading system, designed to block out intense sunlight, further helps regulate temperature and prevents the greenhouses from becoming overheated. This also protects the crops from excessive sunlight, which can cause damage to delicate plants.
 
3.Customized Greenhouse Setup: 
Based on the local climate, we carefully chose the appropriate specifications for the greenhouses, ensuring they could withstand the region’s harsh conditions while providing ideal growing environments for different crops.
 
A Growing Partnership: From Startup to Success
When TX Hydroponic first entered the hydroponics industry in 2021, they were newcomers to the agricultural sector. However, with our full support, they were able to complete their first greenhouse construction and start planting. Over time, their operations grew, and they expanded their production capacity with new greenhouses. Today, TX Hydroponic has two fully operational greenhouses, with a third one currently under construction.
 

Greenhouse 1: NFT System for Leafy Vegetables

The first greenhouse is equipped with a Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) system, utilizing our black and white hydroponic pipes. This setup is designed to grow leafy vegetables, with an impressive capacity of producing 20,000 plants per month. The black and white pipes are ideal for this crop, ensuring proper root development and nutrient absorption. The NFT system maximizes space while ensuring efficient water and nutrient distribution to the plants, leading to high-quality yields.

Greenhouse 2: Tomatoes and Peppers

The second greenhouse is primarily used to grow tomatoes and peppers. This greenhouse is equipped with advanced irrigation systems, including an integrated water and fertilizer system, which ensures precise control over nutrient delivery. In just one quarter, the tomato plants produced 20,000 kg of tomatoes, showcasing the effectiveness of the greenhouse setup. Additionally, the photovoltaic system installed on the greenhouse provides clean, renewable energy, further enhancing the sustainability of their operations.

Scaling Up and Future Growth
Thanks to the seamless integration of our systems and ongoing support, TX Hydroponic’s yields have steadily increased. The performance of the greenhouses has exceeded expectations, and as a result, the company is expanding its operations. The third greenhouse is currently in the planning stages, and it’s expected to further boost production, providing more fresh vegetables and fruits to local supermarkets.
 
Client Testimonial: A Strong Partnership for Success
In a recent video, the engineering lead of TX Hydroponic shared their experience with our products and services: “Working with MIILKIIA has been an incredible experience. From day one, they’ve been there to support us with not just equipment, but also with valuable expertise in managing the challenges of our climate. The cooling, shading, and irrigation systems they provided have allowed us to thrive even in extreme weather. We are grateful for their partnership and look forward to continuing our growth together.”
 
Key Benefits of the Collaboration:
● Customized Climate Control: Our tailored solutions, including the fan-wet curtain and shading systems, have enabled TX Hydroponic to effectively manage the hot, dry climate of Argentina.
● Efficient Hydroponic Systems: The combination of the NFT system and black and white hydroponic pipes has led to efficient plant growth, providing consistent and high-quality yields.
● Sustainability: With the integration of a photovoltaic system, the operation is now more sustainable, reducing reliance on external energy sources.
● Ongoing Support: From design to installation and post-sales support, we have been with TX Hydroponic every step of the way.
 
Conclusion
TX Hydroponic’s success is a clear example of how, with the right solutions and collaboration, challenges such as extreme climate conditions can be turned into opportunities. Through our comprehensive support, they have not only overcome the obstacles of the local environment but have also set a high standard for hydroponic farming in Argentina. As they continue to expand, we are excited to be a part of their journey toward sustainable growth and success.
