Together with our partners and by applying modern techniques we can make Horticulture Innovative, Dynamic and Profitable.
Project Management
We can collaborate in the development of new greenhouse projects or help create new solutions for your existing project.
Review, Advice & Training
In collaboration with growers from the Netherlands we can give advice on improving the efficiency of your horticultural company.
Import / Export Asia
If you are looking for import / export opportunities in Asian markets, we can help you explore the market and find your suitable partners.
We connect the Dutch and Japanese horticulture with our wide experience and expertise.
“Torafuku Tohoku Farm” – Mutsu, Aomori
In the city of Mutsu, Aomori, we have constructed a state-of-the-art, high-tech glass Venlo greenhouse equipped with dimmable LED grow lights and a biomass heating system fueled by wood chips.
The CO₂ generated during combustion is captured and redirected into the greenhouse atmosphere as a supplemental carbon source for the plants, enhancing photosynthesis and promoting stronger growth.
The LED lighting system allows the client to precisely control crop quality, productivity, and operational efficiency.
A fully automated tomato handling system ensures that all harvested tomatoes are efficiently processed, sorted, and packaged.
“Butai Farm Misato Green Base” – Misato, Myagi
In the Misato area, a major farming municipality in Miyagi Prefecture known for its rice and vegetable production, we built Japan’s largest and most modern lettuce production facility. It is fully automated from seeding to harvest, featuring a germination cell, robotics, LED growth lights, irrigation water cooling, LPG boilers for heating and CO₂ enrichment, and a heat-storage tank to maximize energy and CO₂ efficiency.
The lettuce is cultivated on a mobile gutter system that requires minimal manual labor. Only harvesting is performed manually to ensure consistent product quality. By growing plants hydroponically—without soil—the system eliminates the risk of soil pollution or contamination. In addition, water savings of over 80 % and optimized plant density result in significantly higher yields.
Greenhouse Area Development
Together with an Alliance of Dutch companies and the municipality of Westland in the Netherlands, we conducted a profound Feasibility study and Area development investigation. The main goal of the study was to investigate the opportunity to develop profitable large scale greenhouses according Dutch standards adapted to the local climate circumstances and local market. Our starting point was to work without government subsidies or other incentives.
“De Liefde Kitakami” – Ishinomaki, Miyagi
Kitakami was one of the towns that was hit hard by the 2011 Earthquake and Tsunami. As salinated land made it impossible for its prior agriculture to flourish again it was proposed to be developed as a horticultural area. We were co-initiator of this project and amongst other Dutch and Japanese parties we made it possible to build this first profitable modern greenhouse facility. We were involved in all challenges from early concepts to the actual finalizing of the producing facility as it is today.
This pioneer project has proven to be a success for the area. The results have been very good, delivering a strong return on investment.
“Encourage Farming” Niigata
The first ideas and plans started already some years ago. At that time the Niigata prefecture was appointed as a especial area for innovation in horticulture which made it possible to realize a modern glass greenhouse project. In this project a combination of Dutch and Japanese techniques were applied. A nice example of how GreenSquare International B.V. together with the Japanese side can bring Dutch technology to Japan.
“Salad Garden” – Kushiro, Hokkaido
The location is in the snowy northern island Hokkaido. In cooperation with other parties and by applying various Dutch technology we developed and continuously improved the design. All aspects like size, position/orientation, height, strength, climate, costs, planning, machines etc., where taken into account. It was a more complexed project with various challenges at the same time.
We are proud that the client was able to realize this facility.
