Technology Development and Commercialization of the Plant Factory Business

「During the consolidated fiscal year, the Company optimized cultivation conditions, pursued harvesting over multiple years from the same plants and documented cultivation conditions in manuals in the artificial-light cultivation rooms. It also achieved higher yields in greenhouse-grown strawberries without the use of chemical pesticides.」

「In the plant factory project, the Company entered into a joint research agreement with Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, a national university corporation, and is working on year-round cultivation of strawberries and blueberries at Berries Farm, a mass-production facility, using its proprietary cultivation method combining a greenhouse with a closed-type, artificial-light cultivation room.」
