Project Background
Lucayan Tropical Produce was founded with the aim of improving the quality of produce available in the Bahamas. The construction of a Hydroponic Greenhouse by The company allowed this aim to be achieved. “Hydroponic” fanning involves innovative techniques where solution is used rather than soil. This method isolates the plant from the ground, thereby eliminating sources of disease. This results in significant gains in terms of both yield and quality of produce for example soil typically produces 5-10 tonnes of tomato per acre per annum, hydroponic can exceed 200 tonnes per acre per annum.
