Vertical Malta is building a Plant factory to produce 2.500 – 3.000 tonnes of locally grown fresh produce. We aim to start deliveries fall 2022.
Vertical Malta is building a modern Plant Factory capable of growing 2.500 – 3.000 tonnes of produce yearly. Our produce has superior quality, better taste, better nutrient profile and no pesticides are used in the production. Our controlled environment means that we can deliver all year round and also contribute to local food security and reduced need for imported fruits and vegetables.
Our plant factory is super environmentally friendly! Vertical farming in a controlled environment means that we don’t use arable land. With a factory floor of about 12.500 square meters we can grow the same amount of produce a traditional farm would need about 1 million square meters to grow. We don’t use any pesticides. All our water is recycled in a closed loop, such that we only add the amount of water we carry out as produce. 1 kg of lettuce equals 1 liter of water – nothing is spilled. We also use food waste to produce the nutrients our plants need and use renewable energy. Our plants also convert Co2 to Oxygen, hence we are carbon negative.
