(MENAFN- Newsfile Corp) Mary Agrotech Signs Deal with One of the Largest Vertical Farms in China
Markham, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 18, 2021) - Mary Agrotechnologies Inc. (CSE: MARY) (OTCQB: MRRYF) ("Mary Agrotech" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that the Company entered a strategic partnership with Changzhi Yufeng Agricultural technology Development Co. Ltd. ("Yufeng"), one of the largest vertical farms in China.
Based in Shanxi, China, Yufeng owns and operates one of the largest vertical farms in the country, which is dubbed as a "plant factory." The parties have agreed to collaborate on a pilot project of 700 square meters (approx. 7,535 sq. ft.) with Mary Agrotech's proprietary automation technology, including its proprietary vertical farming hardware and AI-driven automation software.
"The farm is in a great location as over 600 million people reside within its 500-mile radius. As only about 12% of China's landmass is arable, food security is a key focus for the country, and this pilot is proof that our technology has its unique advantages to be a part of that massive market," said Frank Qin, CEO of the Company. "It's a foot in the door. Now that Yufeng - one of China's leaders in vertical farming and controlled-environment agriculture - is adopting our technology, we are already fielding additional opportunities."
According to official data, 16.1% of China's soil and 19.4% of its arable land showed contamination, an area larger than the total area of the UK, France, and Spain combined. As China's middle class population reached 700 million in 2020, and is expected to add another 350 million by 2030, demand for quality food has been rapidly growing.
