Singapore: Panasonic indoor farm branches out
The Japanese electronics giant is also looking into cultivating seasonal fruit usually grown in temperate climates.
It runs a 1,154 sq m indoor farm, about the size of 11/2 soccer fields, at Panasonic Factory Solutions Asia-Pacific's premises in Jalan Ahmad Ibrahim.
The farm produces up to 40 crop varieties, amounting to 81 tonnes of vegetables annually.
Plans are under way to increase farm size to 1,710 sq m, which will allow it to produce up to 180 tonnes at optimum capacity. The cultivated varieties include mizuna, oba, leafy lettuce, mini red radish, Swiss chard and baby spinach.
