The Middle East has always been the traditional source for winter strawberries.  Over the years, Well-Pict European has built up strong relationships in this region; one of the strongest being with Mr. Khalil Abu Ghannam (Abu Ghannam Farms) in Jordan. For three years running the company has topped WPE’s winter quality performance tables and it is keen to retain this title for the 04/05-winter season.  

Abu Ghannam Farms has 15ha of production, all of which is protected. Since the 90s, they have used a method of solarisation to disinfect the soil without the need to apply chemicals.  Polythene sheets are used with the irrigation system – from June to August for at least forty days. The soil temperature reaches 50-51 degrees centigrade at 25cm and 60 degrees at 10cm; which is enough to kill the majority of soil diseases and pests.  

Khalil is currently conducting organic trials with the help of a PHD student from Jordan University’s faculty of agriculture. In addition, Khalil’s son will be working on the Well-Pict European farm in Portugal next year to gain experience in hydroponic production as it has shown interest in trialing this method as well.

Last year Abu Ghannam Farms produced a number of varieties for the 03/04 season, including Camarosa, Oso Grande and Honor (pictured above). However, Khalil had such success with Honor (BG 633) that it was the only variety he planted for this season. Abu Ghannam Farms has exclusivity of Honor in Jordan, as well as being the only producer of the variety in the Middle East.
