Greenhouse Crops for Hot/Humid Tropical Summer: Okra, Cherry Tomatoes, Hot Peppers

3000 m² greenhouse in tropical coast (30 km inland, 30 m elevation). Tomatoes autumn/winter. Spring/summer too hot/humid (avg 35°C, 83% RH). Profitable heat-loving crops?

Proven Winners

• Okra — thrives in extreme heat, high yield.
• Cherry tomatoes — heat-set varieties (e.g., 'Sweet 100', 'Sun Gold') fruit through summer.
• Hot peppers — in containers, afternoon shade. Ghost pepper, habanero, super-hots = high value.
• Dwarf tropical fruit — mango, banana, citrus in large pots (premium market).

Strategy

Containerize for mobility. Shade cloth 30% for peppers. Drip irrigation. Research "dwarf" cultivars for high-density profit.
