Objective and Background
The objective of Phase 2 was to move from “greenhouse production” towards an integrated production-and-distribution concept. This phase added scale, but also changed the nature of the project: the greenhouse was no longer just a growing facility, but part of a wider fresh-produce supply chain.
Technically, this meant that crop production, harvest logistics, sorting, packaging and outbound distribution had to be aligned. The ROST page describes the presence of a major distribution centre next to the greenhouses, where vegetables move directly onto sorting, packing and packaging lines.

Key Challenges

Key Challenges
The main challenge in Phase 2 was integration at scale. Larger greenhouse areas increase the complexity of climate uniformity, heating distribution, irrigation control, crop logistics and labour routing.
Another challenge was the interface between the greenhouse and the post-harvest facility. A high-tech greenhouse can produce excellent vegetables, but if the product flow after harvest is not equally efficient, quality and freshness are lost. Phase 2 therefore had to connect crop technology with logistics discipline.

Scope of Horti XS
In a phase like this, Horti XS’s role would typically focus on system integration: ensuring that greenhouse design, climate systems, heating, irrigation, electrical infrastructure and internal logistics support the required production output.
The value of Horti XS would be in translating the grower’s requirements into a coherent technical layout, making sure that the greenhouse does not become a collection of separate systems, but one coordinated production platform.

Result and Value Delivered
Phase 2 transformed Lukhovitsy from a greenhouse site into a larger industrial fresh-produce operation. The value delivered was not only more hectares, but a stronger link between production, sorting, packaging and market delivery.
