Nurseries

VegInnov offers protective structures adapted to the specificities of the African environment, in which annual plants (including vegetables and flowering plants) are sown and raised to the stage where they are ready to be transplanted to their final location. (including vegetables and flowering plants) are sown and raised to the stage where they are ready to be transplanted to their final location. 

Greenhouses

VegInnov offers translucent closed or semi-open structures made of glass or plastic, supported by a metal structure and equipped for agricultural production in Africa. They aim to improve crop yields by mitigating climate extremes or even by controlling the microclimate around crops and protecting them from harsh weather (rain, hail) and insect pests.

Open field

VegInnov open field cropping systems take into account local climatic and soil conditions, but also the pressure of pests (weeds, pests and plant pathogens) in the cultivated area. Those cropping systems ensure high productivity while preserving soil fertility and saving water resources.

Hydraulic Installations & Climate Management

Because water is vital and plants flourish in favorable environments, VegInnov offers high-tech solutions appropriate to the African context to better control the climate around crops and water supplies. From climate control within greenhouses to precision fertigation, VegInnov equips its farms to limit the environmental risk.

Logistics

& Packaging

"From farm to fork", VegInnov intends to control the value chain from production to distribution through packaging to ensure traceability and product freshness. As post-harvest losses are a major challenge in Africa, VegInnov is committed to ensuring a proper cold chain, handling and transportation of products.
