Japan: Panasonic's fresh new product - salads

Japanese electronics giant Panasonic has gone green in a big way by selling salads at selected supermarkets here under its new agriculture brand Veggie Life.

As improbable as it sounds, the firm grows vegetables at its 1,154 sq m indoor farm within the grounds of its Tuas factory.

Panasonic, which started growing herbs and vegetables here last year, said the farm has expanded its annual production capacity from 3.6 tonnes to 81 tonnes with 38 types of vegetables now grown. 
 
The crops include leafy greens like lettuce and mizuna, herbs such as basil and chervil as well as watercress, radish, broccoli and mustard wasabi.
