Strawberry Greenhouse Project in the Netherlands

Dutch strawberry projects are high-tech glass with elevated gutters, and their economics turn on winter light and heat, not on cooling. LED-lit production fills the December–March window when prices peak, which is why lighting and heat decarbonisation dominate the budget conversation.

Everte-type everbearers and June-bearer programmes need different climate and gutter layouts, so crop plan and light strategy must be fixed before quoting structures.

Environmental rules add scope: rainwater basins with RO top-up, zero-emission drain handling and disinfection are compliance items, and heat pumps, geothermal or ATES increasingly replace gas boilers.

Direct answer

What does a strawberry greenhouse cost per hectare in the Netherlands?

Indicative planning ranges are USD 1.6–3.4 million per hectare for high-tech glass with gutters, screens, recirculating fertigation and heating. Full LED and decarbonised heat push projects toward the upper band.

All figures are indicative planning ranges for feasibility work — not quotations. Final specification and pricing come from qualified suppliers and engineers.
