Roto-Gro International Limited (ASX:RGI) has continued to successfully progress its patented and proprietary, state-of-the-art indoor vertical farming technology.
Following the successful completion of the company’s crop trials, conducted in collaboration with Verity Greens Inc. and Fresh Leaf Limited, the resulting data indicates that RotoGro Garden Systems produce more yield per square metreand consume less electricity than other indoor vertical farming methods:
Industry studies indicate that leading indoor farming producers yield between 34.6 and 139 kilograms of leafy greens per square metre facility-wide, annually, whilst the RotoGro projects yields of 840 kgs of leafy greens per square metreannually.
When considering RotoGro’s full-facility cultivation layout, encompassing multi-layered automation (including RotoGro’s proprietary Automated Guided Vehicles) and safety walkways, RotoGro anticipates yields of 531 kg per square metre, annually.
The company claims these are 3.8 to 15.3 timesthe yield per square metre compared to industry leading indoor farming producers and greater in contrast to greenhouse or conventional farming.
Our crop trials with Verity Greens and Fresh Leaf clearly demonstrate that there is interest globally in the RotoGro Technology,” RotoGro’s CEO, Michael Di Tommaso, said.
“Ventures like these will strengthen RotoGro’s market presence by successfully penetrating the burgeoning indoor vertical farming industry with its technology offerings.
“Our internal crop trials using the RotoGro 710 (conducted in collaboration with Verity Greens and Fresh Leaf), focused on the cultivation of high-quality leafy greens and herbs, are progressing extremely well, yielding remarkable numbers per square metre.
“Our customers utilizing the RotoGro 420 for the cultivation of lawful cannabis continue to report excellent results. Our studies, coupled with the company’s customers’ data, validate the commercial viability of the RotoGro 420 for the commercial-scale cultivation of lawful cannabis.
“RotoGro continues to develop relationships globally to expand its presence in both the perishable foods and lawful cannabis markets.”
