Strawberry Container House

A 'strawberry container house' generally refers to a functional building that uses containers as carriers and combines strawberry planting or sales functions. It can be divided into two types: planting type and sales type.

Planting-Type Strawberry Container Houses

Represented by the 'Mobile Smart Plant Factory' of Sichuan Zhongnong Yixiang Agricultural Science and Technology Co., Ltd., its core function is high-density strawberry planting. This type of house is transformed from a standard 27-square-meter container. It is equipped with four-tier vertical cultivation racks inside. A single container can plant 1,600 strawberry plants, with an annual output of 4,000 jin, equivalent to the output of a traditional one-mu greenhouse. Its technical features include:

• Full environmental control: Through LED light sources, nutrient solution cultivation, and an intelligent environmental control system, it precisely adjusts parameters such as light, temperature, water, and gas to achieve two crops per year, breaking through seasonal limitations.
• Efficient space utilization: The vertical cultivation racks increase the unit area yield to 30 times that of a field. Moreover, the movable nature of the container makes it easy to adjust its position according to needs.
• Multi-crop adaptability: In addition to strawberries, it can also plant leafy vegetables, flowers, melons, and fruits, meeting the diverse needs of research institutes, urban communities, and other scenarios. For example, the project in Wenjiang District includes integrated fruit and vegetable sales containers exclusively for communities and raw material supply containers connected to coffee shops.

Sales-Type Strawberry Container Houses

Taking the renovation project in Baiquan Street, Wuhan, and commercial retail containers as examples, their core function is on-site sales of strawberries and related products. The design focuses of this type of house include:

• Personalized appearance: For example, Baiquan Street has customized 9-square-meter wooden houses for each strawberry grower, with a door head design that combines the characteristics of the picking garden to enhance brand recognition.
• Functional配套 (supporting facilities): The supporting container storage rooms are equipped with water and electricity. Farmers can install air conditioners, kettles, and other equipment to take care of both farm tool storage and rest and living.
• Commercial flexibility: Commercial platforms offer prefabricated container kiosks, mobile stores, and other products, supporting scenarios such as urban coffee and fast-food retail. The minimum order quantity is as low as 5 square meters, adapting to different scale requirements.
