Fully Enclosed Artificial Light Plant Factories
Contributing to the Food Industry through Collaboration in the Biotechnology Sector
Chiyoda has started providing solutions in the fields of biotechnology and food in addition to the fields of energy and environment. We focused on the potential of ‘fully enclosed artificial light (LED) plant factories’, to resolve the global agricultural challenges of abnormal weather, expanding barren regions, and agricultural labor aging and shortages. Chiyoda provided measurement and monitoring technologies for domestic plant factory owners in Japan in early 2000 and has delivered demonstration vegetable factories for leafy vegetables to customers in the UAE and Qatar, where we developed and deployed cultivation operation manuals from the perspective of an engineering company, successfully launching prompt cultivation production.
We have started discussions with multiple domestic and overseas businesses to realize their (leafy and fruit) Plant Factory projects.
Together with these services in the “Agricultural” field, we would continue to extend Our Business for approaching toward-future society by exploring collaboration with “Bio Pharmaceuticals” field applying recent biotechnology advances.
