Geneina is the intelligence layer for protected agriculture — and we bring the whole stack together. Structure from Haygrove, growing media from Remmy Substrates, plant-level sensing from Sigrow and vertical systems from ZipGrow, all integrated into GeneinaOS and tuned for hot, water-scarce climates. One partner, one platform, one operation you run from a single screen.
HaygroveCommercial polytunnels & structures · UK, since 1987Both a commercial berry grower (≈500 ha across the UK, South Africa, Portugal and China) and a manufacturer of field-scale polytunnels and substrate systems, supplying growers of 30+ crops in 50+ countries. “As growers ourselves, we understand the challenges of climate, labour and market.”
The proven structure for commercial protected cropping in our climate. Signature HSO steel spans glasshouse-scale 10 m bays; the retractable-roof Total Vent has a dedicated hot-climate brochure, with shade nets for UV/VPD control over up to a hectare at a time — field data shows ~3°C cooler inside on hot days, plus rainwater-harvesting gutters and no-concrete installs for remote desert sites.
Remmy SubstratesPremium coir substrates · India, since 1994A second-generation, family-owned coir manufacturer in Tamil Nadu, washing to the Dutch RHP standard and certified OMRI and ISO, exporting to the Netherlands, USA, Mexico and Canada. EC, pH and mix ratio are tuned to order.
The clean, inert media that makes precision irrigation and fertigation actually perform — high water-holding with controlled drainage, RHP-grade washing to manage the salinity in Egyptian irrigation water, and pathogen-screened consistency where desert soils offer none. It ships highly compressed and drops straight into greenhouse gutter and trough drip systems.
SigrowPrecision climate & crop sensing · Netherlands, since 2014AI-driven greenhouse sensing born at Wageningen University. Its flagship Stomata Camera fuses RGB and thermal imaging to read stomatal conductance, leaf and fruit temperature, crop-level VPD and real transpiration; Pixel, Net Radiometer, Soil Mini, Soil Pro+ and DrainSense round out climate, substrate and irrigation.
In hot, arid climates the game is VPD, leaf temperature and transpiration — exactly what Sigrow measures at plant level (±0.3°C), catching heat and water stress that air-only sensors miss. It is solar-powered and wireless, talks to Priva, Hoogendoorn, Ridder and Argus, and its API feeds straight into GeneinaOS — one grower cut drain water by 38%.
ZipGrowModular vertical farming · Canada, since 2010The patented ZipGrow Tower, deployed in 30+ countries and featured at Disney Epcot’s Living with the Land. Towers, Farm Walls, the turnkey ZipFarm and the ZipPod container farm grow leafy greens, herbs and strawberries soil-free.
The right call for urban, rooftop and hospitality growing — its Farm Wall overlaps Geneina’s own herb-wall line, and the ZipPod is built for desert conditions, using up to 90–95% less water than the field, with vertical yields 5–6× higher than horizontal under glass.
Methodology & Advisory
Geneina is the regional representative and brand ambassador of the Plant Empowerment Academy. Our growing approach follows the Plant Empowerment methodology — a science-based, data-driven model for balanced greenhouse cultivation that produces healthy, resilient plants with higher yield and quality at lower energy cost. Its structured approach to data monitoring maps directly onto how GeneinaOS turns greenhouse data into decisions.
