The ViVi Verte system will be officially launched at the GreenTech next week. The new ViVi technology allows you to grow a full leafy crop in a closed micro perforated bag. The product grows in the innovative bag from young plant up to finished crop. During production all the way to the kitchen counter, no one needs to touch the product. It claims to provide the most food safe, clean and sustainable cultivation method available in multi-layer growing. The result: an extremely fresh crop with a remarkable shelf life of at least two weeks.
The ViVi Verte system finds its origin in the Plant Tissue Culture where controlling risks and hygiene are the main principles. The system works with multilayer LED light for vegetable cultivation. The packaging of the product forms the ‘beating heart’ of the system.
The plant grows in its end packaging straight from the start. The packaging is completely clean and provides a micro system where humidity, temperature, light intensity and nutrition are fully controlled. All these factors ensure an extremely safe and clean product. The ViVi plants are grown in the highly specialized ViCabin: a controlled environment of vertical cultivation with LED light.
During production no one needs to touch the product. From start to finish, the product maintains in the packaging. It is not even necessary to have any expertise in cultivating plants. The ViCabin does not depend on environmental factors either, so the system is basically able to produce anywhere on the globe. Environmental factors are no threat to the growth of the plants, since the production is fully controlled. The simplicity of this production method is enormous! ViVi supplies a complete factory to produce leafy vegetables with minimal labour, resources and knowledge.
ViVi is the result of a joint venture between Dutch companies Visser Horti Systems and Vitro Plus. "The name ViVi is not simply a combination of the first two letters of both companies but also carries a deeper meaning. Vivi is also the Latin annotation of the verb ‘to live’. By offering our products and growth solutions, we want to contribute to a world in which safe and healthy crops are produced in an efficient and sustainable manner", said the company in a news release.
ViVi has three divisions that all have their own specific tasks and areas of expertise. ViViPak is responsible for engineering and selling of the growth packagings; the mini-greenhouses. ViViTec focuses on the designing, engineering and selling of the ViCabin. ViViTec can also supply solutions for processing plants and filling packagings. The third division, ViViLab, tests and develops new growing methods, and ensures your plants will grow under the best circumstances.
ViVi will present their innovative cultivation method at Greentech in Amsterdam on June 14-16nd. (Hall 8, booth 08.420).
