Priva South-East Asia achieving next steps with growers
Field engineers and trained partners across the ASEAN region play a crucial role. Here in Kuala Lumpur (KL), home to thousands of greenhouses, a tailored approach is essential to address the challenges of changing water quality, fluctuating climate conditions, and rising fertilizer costs.
Drawing from best practices in the region, special solutions tailored to commercial growers of varying sizes are being extended, incorporating expertise from India, Australia, and China.
“PRIVA SE-ASIA team are enablers, helping entrepreneurs reach their next milestones gradually. Witnessing commercial greenhouses increase production, create savings, and build a sustainable footprint simultaneously is extremely rewarding. There’s so much to learn in this region. By bridging local best practices as referral cases and sharing real experiences from grower to grower, the outcomes can be game-changing. Bram Koppert, has extensive experience in Asia, and many greenhouses in China and the Middle East achieve solid ROIs as investors look for profitable success cases. Technical trainer van Heijst, who's training growers and partners in Australia, India, and ASEAN, is teaching growers new technical skills and helping them build these competencies locally. The region appreciates this long-term commitment—exactly how it should be" shares Manuel Madani

Changing conditions make groundwater and stored rainwater risky, especially when viruses can emerge from bacteria. Freshwater needs testing for bicarbonate and bacteria. Bicarbonate levels in groundwater can affect pH levels, and pathogens from bacteria create a pool for viruses. Investing in water pre-treatment is a smart safeguard.

Step 1: Easy-to-use irrigation units help produce large amounts of fertilizers for substrate growers (bags, pots, slabs). Fertigation units allow for highly accurate EC adjustments, ensuring nothing is wasted—precision is key.
Step 2: Cleaning drain water with the Vialux system allows greenhouses to recover fertilizers, reducing the overall cost of production. Fertilizer prices have been rising since the pandemic, making these savings crucial.

With unpredictable weather, crop planning is difficult in the monsoon season. Crops often suffer from low light and high humidity levels. Upgrading greenhouses with improved ventilation can help ease plant stress by promoting better transpiration. Assess climate conditions before investing—wireless sensors help make an informed decision. Integrated with Priva Compass, these sensors can later be used for climate control.
