Smart Agri Business addresses the following challenges
Common challenges
We are considering the extraction of valuable compounds and CCUS using microalgae and photosynthetic bacteria as part of our new business initiatives; however, commercialization has stalled because efficient cultivation methods and large-scale production methods have yet to be established.
Value Delivered
We provide "photosynthesis engineering" services by leveraging the technologies and know-how developed through our plant factory business. For any photosynthetic organism, we offer comprehensive support throughout the commercialization process, including contract research to develop efficient cultivation methods, planning for large-scale production facilities, business consulting, design and construction, and IoT system licensing.
Common challenges
Due to increasingly unpredictable weather caused by climate change and a shortage of successors in agriculture, the production and supply of some crops have become unstable, making them increasingly difficult to procure. As an alternative to conventional agriculture, we seek to secure a stable supply of these crops through plant factories.
Value Delivered
As part of our flexible, multi-crop production approach, we produce and sell crops other than lettuce (e.g., sweet basil). We also continuously conduct trial cultivation of several crops at our research facility within our plant factory. We can carry out trial cultivation of your desired crop to evaluate whether it can be produced stably in a plant factory. Please feel free to contact us for a consultation.
Common challenges
We are considering entering the advanced agriculture business; however, as this is a new industry for us, we lack the necessary expertise and do not know how to conduct the experiments and validation required for commercialization, making it difficult to move the project forward on our own.
Value Delivered
We provide contract research services and have facilities for conducting experiments and validation, enabling us to propose effective approaches to planning and carrying out experimental and validation work. Additionally, we offer business consulting services and can provide financial projections for your business once the experimental and validation phase has progressed.
