How Three Leading Greenhouse Industry Suppliers Are Helping Growers Plan for 2022
December 4, 2021 
Whether it’s labor, the supply chain, or the uncertainty of how to keep up with ever-evolving consumer plant demand, growers in the controlled-environment industry have a lot on their plates as they plan for the coming year.
Fortunately, product manufacturers and suppliers can help in this process, especially since many of them are facing the same challenges. Here’s how three companies – each of which are title sponsors for Greenhouse Grower’s GROW Executive Summit this week in Charlotte, NC – are lending a hand.
Hort Americas Keeping Up With Rapid Change
Hort Americas, a greenhouse technology supplier that provides industry-leading knowledge and advice in vegetable production, urban farming, lighting, substrates, and more, is facing the same challenges as others in the controlled-environment agriculture industry when it comes to COVID-19 pandemic recovery, supply chain concerns, and food safety issues among food producers.
In this video, Hort Americas President and General Manager Chris Higgins, outlines how the company is working with growers to manage supply chain issues at a time when the industry continues to grow across the entire market spectrum.
Dramm Helps Growers Navigate Supply Chain Challenges
Like virtually everyone else in the controlled-environment industry, Dramm is facing supply chain challenges as it helps growers prepare for what will likely be another busy season. At the same time, Dramm has been proactive in how it is able to source its own materials for product development. Greenhouse Grower Editor Janeen Wright caught up with Kurt Becker, Executive Vice President of Dramm, to talk more about how the company is working through these challenges, while also dealing with the current labor shortage. Becker also weighs in on the value of networking with and supporting the industry through programs like Greenhouse Grower’s GROW Initiative, and how Dramm works closely with growers to improve their operational efficiency.

BASF Plans to Provide a Range of New Resources for Greenhouse Growers in 2022
Crop protection supplier BASF is also working hard to provide controlled-environment greenhouse operations with the tools they need to produce high-quality crops while minimizing pest concerns.
In this video, Liz Dunbar, Product and Marketing Manager for Greenhouse and Nursery at BASF, outlines how the company is expanding its integrated pest management offerings and resources. She also highlights some of the new plant protection products BASF is launching in 2022.
