Israel’s Vertical Field, a developer of smart vertical growing solutions for fresh produce, announced on Thursday that it has partnered with major retail chains in Russia and Ukraine. As part of the partnership, the company will set up vertical farms inside Magnit, one of Russia’s largest food retailers, and Varus, the Ukrainian supermarket chain.
The first of these vertical farms have already opened this month in Dnipro, Ukraine and Krasnodar, Russia, and are providing a steady harvest of fresh and healthy greens, which are sold at the retail stores, the company’s announcement said.
“Produce will reach the shelf in a matter of minutes, immediately after being harvested from the vertical farm, and customers will clearly see where the greens came from.
