Production and quality
Zina Fresh extends over 11 hectares divided into 3 different greenhouse models ranging from the oldest tunnel design to the fully automated more recent one. All three greenhouse structures vary in terms of width, length and height.
Our company also owns two stations for watering and fertilizing, and a sorting and packing station whose area is 500 square meters, including a cold room.
Zina fresh uses hot groundwater as a source for heating the greenhouses and for irrigation, the latter being possible only after dropping water temperature and passing it through reverse osmosis machines. Our Water is stored in 6 basins , 3 for geothermal water, 2 for desalinated water and one for collecting the drain water.
Due to the expansion of the total area, the groundwater is no longer sufficient to heat all the greenhouses. Since 2009, Zina Fresh has installed a water heating unit containing 4 natural gas boilers and an insulated tank to store hot water and use it to heat greenhouses during the hours of severe cold, especially during the winter season.
In 2013, we installed a unit to recover carbon dioxide resulting from the combustion process inside boilers, and then distribute it inside greenhouses, which enabled us to improve product quality, implement the company’s environmental policy, and protect the environment.
Zina fresh also has a hardware store and 3 storages space , one of which is for medicines, the other for fertilizers, and the third for packaging materials.
Zina Fresh also has two direction departments, the first is technical and the second is for financial and administrative affairs: accounts, purchases, export, import and currency affairs.
Our season begins in September of each year, where we prepare and sterilize our greenhouses to receive young plants from the plants Nursery which are planted , as soon as they arrive, in a special, organic , soil like medium made of coco fibers. The first harvest occurs after 45 days of planting. we pick the fruits, gather them in plastic boxes and send them to the sorting and packing station, to be received by the quality team, whose job is to clean, sort and package the best tomatoes for export.
On export day, we ship the tomatoes in special air-conditioned trucks to Rades port to be sent later to our clients. We wait 3 days for the reply, “Excellent tomatoes, thank you.”
We do this operation every day proudly until July, when our season ends, and preparations for a new season begin.
Quality is part of our values and is our leitmotif.
