In September 2025 Holland Door organized a training session on plant nutrition for growers in the Dalat region. The training was part of the Partners for Water project “Improving water availability and safety through optimized irrigation and fertiliser application by hydroponic growers in Vietnam”, which is being implemented by Fresh Studio Vietnam.
Two growers hosted a pilot project cultivating sweet pepper crops, which involved drainwater collection, water storage and UV disinfection. The systems were provided by Ridder and Royal Brinkman. After one year of cultivation using recirculated drainwater, the growers are convinced of the benefits that it brings: savings of 25% on water and 35% on fertilizers. The growers have learned a lot and are now investing in improved drain water collection methods.
During the course of the project, many other growers were also reached with practical workshops and field visits.
