On Friday, May 22, Wouter Kuiper, Marco van Daalen and the KUBO China team visited Haoyu Group in China. The visit was marked by two important milestones: the first planting in greenhouse 5 of Haoyu phase 3 and the official signing for greenhouse 8 and 9.

During the visit, those present got a good idea of the further development of the modern greenhouse project. With this greenhouse development, Haoyu Group is building scalable cultivation, with more control over production, quality and efficient use of water and energy. The planting in greenhouse 5 puts the next phase of the project into concrete motion.

From collaboration to scalable growth
The cooperation between KUBO and Haoyu Group focuses on the development of modern, efficient and future-proof greenhouse projects. Phase 2 of the project was jointly designed with KUBO. Construction of greenhouse 6 and 7 is now underway. Completion and planting are scheduled for the third quarter. With the signing for greenhouse 8 and 9, the cooperation is further expanded. Construction of these greenhouses is scheduled for the fourth quarter of this year.

Plans for greenhouse 10 and 11 and talks on long-term cooperation are also continuing. Thus the project is growing step by step. Not only in size, but also in knowledge, experience and joint strength. For Haoyu Group, this means a strong basis for further development. For KUBO, it confirms the power of long-term cooperation in international greenhouse projects.

Smart technology for better cultivation performance
The greenhouses combine various technical systems for greenhouse construction, climate control, irrigation and nutrients. Connecting these systems digitally creates a cultivation environment in which light, temperature, water, air and nutrition are precisely tailored to the crop.

This gives growers more control over daily cultivation. It helps to produce more stably, monitor quality and use water and energy more efficiently. As such, the project is in line with KUBO’s broader ambition: to support growers worldwide with solutions that contribute to higher yields, better quality and a sustainable way of growing.

A partnership with a future
In addition to the business milestones, there was also room for a personal moment. During the visit, Mr. Haoyu organized a birthday celebration for Wouter Kuiper. A warm gesture that shows that the cooperation between Haoyu Group and KUBO goes beyond technology and project development. The relationship is built on trust, continuity and a shared ambition: to realize modern greenhouse horticulture ready for further growth. With the first planting in greenhouse 5 and the signing for greenhouse 8 and 9, that partnership is once again taking concrete shape.

Both organizations are looking ahead to the next steps. Together they will continue to work on efficient, scalable and future-proof cultivation solutions for a growing world.
