Today we have the pleasure of welcoming the PUM Experts from Netherlands to our commercial farm for a showcase of our vertical hydroponics planting tower concepts. 

​It has certainly been quite a jam-packed week for us as we’ve just officiated the opening of our commercial farm in Hatyai. But today is an exception as we’ve gotten the honour of welcoming the Governor of Songkhla province in Thailand, Mr Songpol Sawasdham to our very own vertical growth hydroponics commercial farm. Standing right beside him is our farm manager, Mr Monchai Saewong. It was certainly fun explaining how the iStacks growth tower works to conserve growing space and at the same time increase the yield of salads. 

Today we have some very special visitors from the chain-supermarket company, Siam Makro Public Limited, and from Charoen Pokphand Group (CP). Here we took the time to explain that the modern generation requires a modern way of planting. Traditionally, agriculture requires a lot of land area in order to grow the fresh produce we consume. But with vertical hydroponics, we are able to utilize a planting space more efficiently and produce more yield at the same time. Hence, this is the future of vertical hydroponics.

What a pleasant morning we had with the people from the Indonesian - Malaysia - Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT). This is their first visit to our facility where we have explained to them what is all about vertical growing. With the vertical design of our iStack and StarStack hydroponics growth tower units, we are able to maximize planting space and increase yield tremendously.

All in all, we are certainly grateful for their visit and hope to see them in the near future!
