Construction of Multitunnels for Tomato Cultivation in Azerbaijan and Dagestan

Construction of Multitunnels for Tomato Cultivation in Azerbaijan and Dagestan: A Grupo IEP Success Story

In a global context where food security and agricultural efficiency are unavoidable priorities, Grupo IEP has achieved a remarkable milestone with the construction of multitunnel greenhouses dedicated to tomato cultivation in Azerbaijan and Dagestan. This project, recognized as an international success story, demonstrates the company’s ability to provide innovative solutions tailored to challenging environments, integrating key aspects such as agronomic engineering, international logistics, and hydraulic development. Below, we explore the details that have made this initiative a benchmark in protected agriculture.

Innovative Design for Extreme Conditions

The regions of Azerbaijan and Dagestan are characterized by particular climatic and geographical conditions: cold winters, warm summers, and, in some cases, limited water resources. To face these challenges, Grupo IEP’s multitunnels were designed with cutting-edge technology, ensuring a stable and optimal microclimate for tomato cultivation:

• Robust galvanized steel structures: Resistant to corrosion and capable of withstanding adverse weather conditions, guaranteeing durability and safety.

• Multilayer EVA polyethylene covers: These covers optimize sunlight entry and retain heat, creating an ideal environment for tomato growth.

• Automated ventilation: Systems that precisely regulate temperature and humidity, adapting to fluctuations in the external climate.

• Integrated hydroponic technology: An approach that maximizes efficient use of water and nutrients, essential in areas where water access is a challenge.

These features have not only increased tomato quality and yield but have also laid the foundation for more sustainable and resilient agriculture.

Overcoming Logistical Challenges with Excellence

Executing this project in remote locations such as Azerbaijan and Dagestan required impeccable logistical management, reflecting Grupo IEP’s commitment to operational excellence. Some highlights include:

• International coordination: Transporting materials from Spain to these regions involved overcoming complex customs and logistical barriers, ensuring every component arrived on time and in perfect condition.

• Adaptation to local regulations: Grupo IEP strictly complied with the construction and agricultural regulations of both countries, demonstrating flexibility and knowledge of the international legal framework.

• Collaboration with local communities: Besides building the multitunnels, the company trained local teams in assembly, operation, and maintenance of the structures, transferring knowledge and strengthening the region’s economic development.

This logistical approach not only guaranteed the project’s success but also consolidated trust relationships with international partners and local communities.

Agronomic Innovation and Hydraulic Development

At the heart of the project lies its commitment to advanced agronomic engineering and efficient water resource management, elements that have increased productivity and sustainability of tomato cultivation.

Automated irrigation and climate systems adjust parameters such as humidity, temperature, and watering in real time, optimizing cultivation conditions. Advanced hydraulic solutions such as the installation of water capture and recirculation systems have been key to addressing water scarcity, ensuring a constant and sustainable supply for the multitunnels.

These innovations not only respond to the region’s environmental challenges but also establish a replicable model for other agricultural projects in similar contexts.

An Example of Global Leadership in Protected Agriculture

With the construction of these multitunnels, Grupo IEP reaffirms its position as a strategic ally in the global protected agriculture sector. This project in Azerbaijan and Dagestan is a concrete example of how the company combines technological innovation, adaptability, and commitment to transform agricultural production even in the most demanding environments.

The impact of this initiative goes beyond immediate results: it has strengthened local food security, boosted the regional economy, and demonstrated that international collaboration can generate sustainable and high-impact solutions.
