Do you recognize these challenges as well?

Greenhouse horticulture is an industry that changes rapidly due to seasonal fluctuations and dependence on weather. Flexibility is therefore essential. Schedules can change suddenly, especially in greenhouses without artificial lighting, where companies must scale up quickly to meet demand. The ability to adapt quickly is crucial to maintaining production levels.

The demand for blue-collar workers remains high. In 2023, there were 2,210 job openings within the greenhouse industry, 40% of which were open for more than three months. This shows how difficult it is to quickly find and retain the right people. The labor market is tight, especially in a sector that is so dependent on flexible and well-trained employees. Finding reliable and experienced employees is essential to maintaining production capacity.
