In an exciting partnership that will introduce aeroponic technology to India and the Middle East, LettUs Grow and Valoya India will combine their expertise to optimise crop production for indoor growers.
Valoya India is the second group to join LettUs Grow’s global partnership programme, which focuses on licensing aeroponic technology to key agricultural manufacturers around the world. LettUs Grow’s aeroponics has been shown to improve growth rates in comparison to hydroponic irrigation methods, as demonstrated in successful growth trials at Wageningen University’s R&D greenhouse facility, and more recently at Stockbridge Technology Centre in collaboration with CHAP.
Valoya India will licence LettUs Grow’s patented ultrasonic aeroponic irrigation systems and offer a turnkey building solution for vertical farming companies. This will allow growers to increase yields, improve the quality of their crop and minimise water use. LettUs Grow’s expertise in aeroponics alongside Valoya India’s world-leading manufacturing capacity will bring the benefits of aeroponics to the exciting emerging controlled environment agriculture (CEA) market in India, as well as the more established markets in the Middle East.
Charlie Guy, CEO of LettUs Grow, said: “India is primed to become one of the most exciting emerging markets for CEA, and this partnership marks another significant step forward in our mission to reduce the impact of fresh produce production across the globe, through careful innovation and collaboration. By working together with Valoya, we aim to empower farmers across India and The Middle East to improve access to fresh produce, allowing the agricultural sector to thrive, while still conserving precious groundwater reserves and resources.”
