A greenhouse owner in Algeria just upgraded from manual seeding to mechanized production. The result: 5x faster operation with consistent, professional seedling quality.
This case study shows how our seedling nursery machine helped a North African greenhouse modernize its lettuce seedling production.
Customer Background
Our customer runs a 2-hectare commercial greenhouse complex in Algeria, producing lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers year-round.
Before the upgrade:
- Annual lettuce seedling demand: 500,000+ plants
- Previous method: Manual hand-seeding
- Workforce: 6 workers on seeding alone
Problem: Manual Seeding Was Too Slow
Like many North African greenhouse operators, our customer hit a wall with manual seeding:
- Slow pace: 60-80 trays per day per worker, max
- Inconsistent quality: Seed depth and spacing varied tray to tray
- High labor cost: 6 full-time workers just for seeding
- Seasonal bottlenecks: Peak season meant overtime and stress
- Missed windows: Late seeding meant lost market opportunities
The customer needed a faster, more reliable solution—without sacrificing precision for small seeds like lettuce.
Solution: KMR-80-2 Seedling Nursery Machine
After comparing options, the customer chose our KMR-80-2 nursery tray seeder with an integrated watering system.
