Vertical Field will conduct an initial pilot at Varus, one of the biggest national supermarket chains in the country
Israel-based Vertical Field, an innovative agtech company that specializes in vertical farming, has signed an agreement with Moderntrendo S.R.O, one of the largest agricultural distributors in Ukraine, for promotion of nationwide deployments of vertical farms. Vertical Field will conduct an initial pilot at Varus, one of the biggest national supermarket chains in the country, in early 2021 before expanding to other chains. Varus operates 95 stores across 25 cities and attracts approximately 260,000 customers daily.
Vertical Field has developed and commercialized unique soil-based vertical farms in containers that produce locally sourced vegetables. These indoor farms are capable of growing a variety of fresh greens and other vegetables through the company’s proprietary technology.
Vertical Field customers benefit from advanced farming that produces pesticide-free and exceptionally fresh vegetables. Vertical Field’s technology is more efficient and generates less waste than conventional agriculture, utilizing 90 per cent less water, while growing precise quantities in a controlled environment, and achieving shorter growing cycles.
The company offers 365 days a year ’in season’ produce regardless of geography, physical location, weather and climate conditions, with consistently high product quality. The farms are modular, expandable, and moveable, with fully automated crop management, and a sterile environment that requires significantly less human contact.
