Crop Timing Plantation™ (Galiltech)
We consider CTP™ to be the plantation of the future in the Banana industry. This concept has numerous advantages for producers, exporters and marketing lines worldwide. The approach is aimed at creating plantations with higher yields, low costs, and better control/flexibility to make decisions. This flexibility will help us implement new concepts regarding new varieties and innovative methods.
The first Programmed Harvest - CTP™ was in a plantation in Israel in 1988. The idea was revolutionary and took three decades to perfect. Many tests were done in different countries with different climates and types of land until the process began to be commercialized. In 2018, at the Acrobat event in Miami, Galiltec publicly announced that the concept was commercially ready. Today, Galiltec adapts to its customers with innovative methods and advanced technology.
Plants create the false perception for the producers that, when planting once in several years, plantations have fewer costs which makes them more profitable. Our experience over the years tells us otherwise. The cost of renovating plants is effectively rewarded with better control, higher yields, savings in production costs, more flexibility and fewer risks related to climate and market change.
In a conventional plantation between 1,800-2,000 plants/hectare are planted, in contrast, in a CTP™ plantation, 2,800-3,200 plants/hectare are planted in each crop cycle with the same basic investment.
