Greenhouses
Protected agriculture is becoming the best option to shield crops from external threats and adverse weather events while significantly optimizing crop performance. These benefits result is an increase in the return on investment for horticultural projects.
At the Armando Alvarez Group we accompany our growers in the field and we have the technology and experience necessary to help you make the most profit from your growing operations.
The development of all of our materials begins in the greenhouse and continues in our research and development department. We have been providing service to farmers in over 105 countries for over 60 years.

Produce
Growing produce under the cover of a greenhouse is a very common practice around the world. However, to properly choose the right plastic cover, it is essential to perform a detailed assessment of the special features of each agricultural project. Key factors to success include location, crop type and cycle, structure design and level of technology, etc.

Flowers
Flower production is increasing year after year around the world. The technology employed in the films designed for floriculture depend on the type of plant or on the type of cut flower.
The films designed for this purpose are highly technologically developed, mainly in their optical properties, which are essential in the evaluation of the end product. Plastics are also decisive in other variables that affect the end quality of the flower/plant.

Berries
The distance between the plant and the plastic cover, as well as the structure that supports it, give the cover materials for berries their own identity.
Protected berry cropland has recently seen the highest increase in the last 10 years, and therefore, is one of the most competitive markets in fruit. This means that farmers have to study in depth all the parameters that affect production and, among these, the type of film used to cover the crops is one of the main contributing factors.

Fruit
Without a doubt this is the most important new element in protected crops, and the one with the most interesting future.
Traditionally, the only protection element regularly used for fruit trees was mesh, but recently, increasingly more fruit trees are being covered with films or with a combination of films and mesh.
The size of the trees to be covered, as well as the specific work entailed by each crop, influence the design and material of the protective structure, and these in turn, the final features of the film.
This is why these cover films are special, thanks to their influence on crop performance while at the same time to their resistance to adverse weather events.

Cannabis / Hemp
One of the most important crops in terms of growth and popularity. The many benefits of some of the plant components have skyrocketed the growth of this industry worldwide.
As any industry that is continually growing, the variety of growing techniques is ample, but they all work towards the same goal, to optimize production.
Due to this variety of scenarios in each operation, it is essential to choose the optimal film type to cover your crop.
