Panasonic Singapore as "vegetable farmers", LED for vegetables "fresh keeping"

Singapore has a population density of second in the world. Under the narrower population, more than 90% of the grain is dependent on imports. The country has actively promoted the capacity of self-sufficiency in grain and developed greenhouse vegetables. Panasonic, a Japanese technology giant, has stepped up its banner.

Reuters reported 3 days ago that Panasonic has a 248 square meter factory in the outskirts of Singapore. The garden uses LED light to grow fruits and vegetables, and now produces 10 crops, including mini carrot and Spinach Seedlings, with an annual output of 3.6 tons. The company plans to grow more than 30 kinds of crops in March 2017, and 5% of the vegetables produced by astrology. Hideki Baba, executive director of Panasonic Factory Solutions in the Asia Pacific region, said that the global shortage of arable land, the dramatic climate change and the rising demand for food quality have made countries seek stable food supply, which is expected to make agriculture a growth product for the future.

Singapore's Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority data show that the country produced nearly 22000 tons of vegetables in 2013, and up to 514574 tons of vegetables were imported entirely. The star country hopes to produce more crops and raise food security by itself. It has already subsidized Sky Greens, a local vertical farming company. The company grows leafy vegetables and fruits in three storey greenhouses, and now there are 600 vertical greenhouses, and next year it will be expanded to 2000. Tian Tian produces 1 tons of vegetables a day for local FairPrice supermarkets.

Lee Sing Kong, a professor of Bioscience at Nanyang Technology University in Singapore, stressed that some crops must be produced by themselves, which could slow down the impact in case of supply disruption. However, the price of local crops is still high, and some vegetables produced by fresh vegetables are two times the price of vegetables imported from China.

Japan's science and technology factory has become a trend in agriculture. The Japan Times and Wall Street Journal reported on 5, 13, Fujitsu (Fujitsu) was converted to factory for shutting down vegetables. In September last year, SHARP (Sharp) began planting strawberries in Dubai laboratory, not only using the company's air cleaning technology to kill fungi, but also using electricity. SHARP LED lighting. In addition, the camera factory Olympus and iron and steel company JFE Holdings have joined the ranks of vegetable cultivation. Yano Research Institute estimates that the output of vegetables grown in factories will increase by six times, from 23 billion 400 million yen in 2013 to 150 billion yen in 2025.
