Beef Tomatoes

Beef tomatoes are a high-volume greenhouse crop, producing 85 kg/m² (17.45 lbs/sq.ft.), making them the highest-yielding tomato variety but with a lower price per kilogram (pound) compared to smaller, sweeter tomatoes. These large, meaty fruits, weighing 180-200g (6.3-7.0 oz) each, are a staple for slicing, cooking, and bulk retail markets. In a professional modular greenhouse, beef tomatoes thrive under precisely regulated temperatures (16-22°C / 61-72°F), light intensity (15 DLI), and CO₂ levels (800 ppm), ensuring consistent size, firmness, and shelf stability. While their Brix values are lower, beef tomatoes remain a commodity staple, typically packaged in 11 lbs boxes for bulk distribution. By integrating hydroponic growing techniques and automated climate control, greenhouse producers can achieve cost-effective, high-yield production, ensuring market stability and predictable revenue streams for large-scale operations.
