Think Pink for a brighter British strawberry future

The Total WorldFresh research team, located at the Berry Research and Development Site in Langley Kent, have begun trials utilising the combined technologies of a Cravo retractable rafter house and supplementary light-emitting diodes (LED) lighting to investigate the possibility of extending the harvest period of locally grown British June-bearing strawberries from April to December. The flexibility of movement and control of the retractable rafter house maximizes internal climate conditions, whilst allowing any available external radiant heat to be utilised when conditions are favourable
