Italy: Growing Nine Saffron Cycles A Year With A Container Farm
Demetra containers achieve goals that would have been unimaginable just a few months ago. Daniele Bertocchi, the owner of Greatit, describes the results achieved in the vertical cultivation of saffron.
"We started with trials a few months ago, but after a thorough analysis of both the agronomy and the market with one of our customers, we are now ready to show the gathered results. These have exceeded our forecasts," Daniel affirms.
Last year, a customer from Sardinia approached Greatit with the intent of growing saffron hydroponically. And, the company accepted the challenge. However, as Daniel explains, it's a little more complex than your average crops, as there is no specific reference book on the subject. That's why Greatit has been doing extensive research and collaborating with the company's agronomist.
