<aside> 💡 Oishii Farm Corporation, headquartered in the U.S. and founded in 2016, is reportedly a company aiming to revolutionize the agriculture industry by integrating cutting-edge indoor vertical farming with traditional Japanese cultivation techniques. Its core technology is supported by robotics that analyze 60 billion data points annually and precise environmental control systems. This seems undoubtedly to enable the stable, year-round supply of high-quality, pesticide-free, and non-GMO (Genetically Modified Organism）strawberries (such as Omakase Berry, Koyo Berry, and Nikko Berry) and Rubī Tomatoes.
The company's strengths can be attributed to its technological leadership and economies of scale, as evidenced by Amatelas Farm, which is described as one of the world's largest indoor vertical strawberry farms. This farm demonstrates a strong and unwavering commitment to sustainability through the utilization of power from adjacent solar panels, enhanced energy efficiency with next-generation LEDs, and optimized water resources via an advanced water circulation system. Strategic partnerships with the major U.S. grocery chain Whole Foods Market have secured market access in key metropolitan areas, and their exceptional products are said to have garnered high praise for their "incredible flavor, freshness, and texture."
Oishii's business model appears to focus on enabling the provision of fresh produce of the highest quality, comparable to that grown in optimal natural conditions, to adjacent urban consumer areas, thereby overcoming the seasonality and transportation challenges inherent in traditional agriculture. The company is believed to hold significant market potential to transform the entire agricultural supply chain while meeting the growing consumer demand for clean, fresh, and sustainably produced food. Looking ahead, we observe that Oishii has the potential to further expand its influence through increased production volume, diversification of product varieties, and entry into new geographical markets. We wish for the company's continued success on a global scale. (AS)
