SANANBIO and Hode AgTech Announce Strategic Partnership for Indoor Farming Projects in Qatar
XIAMEN, China, May 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- SANANBIO, an industry-leading indoor farming solution provider, and Hode AgTech, agri-technologies developer and promoter, announced their partnership on indoor farming projects on the 13th of May, 2020. Zhan Zhuo, General Manager of SANANBIO, and Zhang Min, founder and CEO of Hode, spoke at the signing ceremony and sealed their commitment to building indoor farms and labs in Qatar.
As a country comprised of errand dessert land; dry, hot summers laden with dusty winds and cooler winters, Qatar is ideal for indoor farm produce production. Currently, about 90% of all produce is imported. With politics and environmental factors at play, Industry leaders have emerged to contribute to solving these challenges to ensure access to fresh nutritionally dense food for Qatar's 2.7 million people.
Indoor farming, also referred to as Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA), is a modern agricultural method that utilizes LED grow lights and sophisticated cultivation techniques to grow crops in a controlled-environment space which provides the plants with everything they need to thrive. One of many positive aspects of indoor farms is that they may operate independent of local climate conditions, allowing consistent harvest results throughout the year. With partnership like the one between SANANBIO and Hode AgTech, laying the ground work for domestic agricultural production in Qatar becomes possible.
