In particular the agricultural production industry requires a paradigm change in order to ensure the sustainability of its products and services. The agricultural production technology solutions must meet the requirements of the regional environments in which they are to be applied, in order to ensure this applicability. Northern Cyprus as an island and as not downright internationally recognized nation needs special solutions. Currently, the production of agricultural products is hampered by the international trade barriers, growth electricity price and increasingly scarce water resources in Cyprus. Most of the farmers are unable to access grid, clean water and agricultural production plants for their harvestings. This paper deals with a concept of hybrid energy container and water supply systems for production of agricultural products represent a sustainable solution for electrification through renewables, providing water form air and processing different goods, i.e. olive oil and pomegranate juice.
