1. Geographical Features of Canada
Canada is located in the high latitudes of the world, with a warm climate in the south, distinct seasons, and a cold climate in the north.
The population is unevenly distributed due to geographical and climatic factors, with 80% of the population living in a narrow strip of land along the northern border of the United States, about 160 kilometers wide.
2. Suitability for Greenhouse Construction
A greenhouse is an agricultural facility designed to create a suitable environment for plant growth, especially in regions where natural conditions may not be ideal for cultivation.
Based on Canada's geography and climate data, and our years of experience, the southern regions of Canada are very well-suited for greenhouse construction.
Particularly in winter, when outdoor temperatures fall below 0°C, using greenhouses to grow fresh vegetables and fruits locally is a great option. It is also highly economically beneficial.
Example – Ottawa:
Taking Ottawa, the capital of Canada, as an example, the average annual high temperature is between 15 – 26°C (in July), and the average low temperature is between -16 – -6°C (in January).
This temperature range makes it suitable for common greenhouse types to be constructed.
3. Common Greenhouse Types Suitable for Canada:
①. Ordinary Plastic Film Greenhouses:
These are suitable for early spring and late fall cultivation but have relatively poor insulation in winter.
②. Connected Polycarbonate Greenhouses and Connected Glass Greenhouses:
These are suitable for year-round production.
③. Plastic Film Solar Greenhouses
These can be used for year-round production without energy consumption, offering the best cost-effectiveness.
They work well in areas where winter temperatures are above -16°C and there is ample daylight.
4. Current Issues with Greenhouse Construction in Canada
In China, greenhouse agriculture is very well-developed in regions with similar temperature conditions to Canada's southern regions. In the past, Chinese individuals transported greenhouse materials from China to Canada and constructed greenhouses in the southern regions.
However, due to the lack of large-scale vegetable greenhouse construction experience and an incomplete industrial chain for greenhouse support in Canada, these greenhouses, while overcoming some difficulties, were not built to optimal standards.
These issues include:
①. Poor greenhouse structure design.
②. Incorrect material selection, leading to poor performance and high costs.
③. Lack of construction experience, leading to numerous issues after completion.
Despite these challenges, these greenhouses have still had a positive impact due to the severe shortage of greenhouses in the region.
