Cambodia's wet season can destroy a delicate vegetable crop in hours. Heavy rain causes physical damage and fungal diseases, while the dry season brings intense heat.
The Nethouse Advantage

- Physical Barrier: Keeps out moths and beetles without chemical sprays.
- Climate Control: Reduces internal temperature by 3-5°C compared to outside.
