About Us

Gakon Netafim is a world leader in greenhouse farming, providing growers with a comprehensive offering of the best greenhouse solutions. Gakon Netafim brings together 70 years of Dutch heritage in glasshouse manufacturing and Netafim’s global presence and precision agricultural innovation. Our turnkey commercial greenhouse projects are implemented worldwide and build on extensive agronomic knowledge, manufacturing capabilities, and project management experience. By enabling farmers to grow fresh produce year-round in any climate, we play an important role in supporting local and sustainable food production.

The future of farming is here

Farming has always been a risky business, that much we all know. But over recent years, dealing with so many natural and man-made parameters – from climate change to the impact of COVID 19 – has made us realize how critical it is for food security to be able to grow our food in a controlled environment.

In response to these growing challenges, commercial greenhouse projects are rapidly expanding.

The results speak for themselves: yields in commercial greenhouse projects are increasing by up 8-10 times in comparison to open field growing. Growers can now produce crops all year round. Fresh local food is available for local markets. While resources like water and fertilizer use is being cut by up to 40%.

For investors, commercial greenhouse projects mean lower production costs, fewer risks and higher returns, while also contributing to more sustainable farming and food security. Greenhouses present an exciting future.
