On Wednesday, October 30th, the American Ambassador Pete Hoekstra visited Certhon a global leader in high-tech, agricultural technology solutions.

The Ambassador has attended numerous events in the past year due to the recent boom in demand for high-tech agricultural solutions back in the United States. As Ambassador, Mr. Hoekstra realizes the importance of strengthening relationships with leading companies in the sector that are actively providing innovative solutions for US companies dedicated to year-round growing. During his visit, Ambassador Hoekstra was able to learn more about Certhon’s in-house innovations, in addition to an insider look on the various crop trials Certhon’s agronomy team are currently conducting on daylight free cultivation.
