Netled Signs €15 Million Contract With Oh My Greens To Deliver Vera Vertical Farm To Sweden

July 13, 2021

Netled has signed a contract worth €15 million with Swedish herbs supplier, Oh My Greens.

Netled and Oh My Greens (OMG) have signed a contract for a three-year investment program that will see Netled deliver its Vera vertical farm to OMG, a Swedish supplier of potted herbs. The contract was signed in June 2021 and is worth a total of 15 million euros over three years. The contract also includes a five-year maintenance and cultivation consultancy service, and is estimated to be one of the largest turn-key technology deals specifically between the technology providers and farm operators in the indoor agriculture market to date.

The first delivery for the project is underway and is valued at 3.2 million euros; it is due in Q2 of 2022. After commissioning, Netled will continue to provide technical and consultancy services while OMG will focus on producing and supplying vegetables to retailers in Stockholm. The second phase of the investment plan is due to start in Q4/2022.

OMG is a farm operator company providing consumers with potted herbs and has ambitions to achieve a major market share in Sweden by the end of the investment program.

OMG is part of Applied Value Group, a Swedish-American investment, management consultancy, and social impact firm. OMG operates in Sweden together with its sister company, Bake My Day (BMD). BMD is a 25 million USD revenue company serving 800 customers with daily deliveries including around 400 grocery stores. Working together, BMD and OMG can offer a wide range of the highest quality fresh food products to retail throughout Stockholm and the Mälardalen region, covering 40% of the Swedish population.

“We considered 17 different vertical farming technology providers and came to the conclusion that, in terms of its technology, know-how, and delivery capabilities, Netled is years ahead of the competition,” says CEO of OMG, Moses Isik.

“Netled’s technical and horticultural knowledge, and decades of experience of growing technologies, combined with OMG’s superb logistic network and existing customer relationships, creates an unbeatable competitive advantage which will allow us to quickly increase our market share and supersede traditional herb production with sustainable and ecological vertical farming that will disrupt the existing supply structures.” he continues.

“Netled’s Vera vertical farming technology will allow us to provide customers throughout Sweden with fresher herbs and leafy greens, grown hyper-locally and with a significantly reduced carbon footprint”, Moses adds. “Not only does the customer benefit, but the planet does too!”

Netled Ltd. is the leading vertical farming technology provider in Finland. Netled’s Vera technology offers turn-key indoor farming systems which include a dynamic spacing system, LED lighting, HVAC, and a nutrition system. It also includes automation software, production management and horticulture intelligence software. The Vera family of growing systems range from the Instore growing cabinets to massive-scale Industrial systems.

“The cooperation with OMG and its sister company, BMD, creates a huge opportunity for Netled to increase its market presence in Sweden. It also solidifies our position as the global leader in vertical farming technology,” says CEO of Netled, Niko Kivioja. This contract is the first industrial-scale operation for Netled, which was previously focused on an urban farm scale.

“This contract not only allows OMG to produce fantastic products for customers throughout the whole of Sweden, but it also functions as a clear example to other farm operators of the industrial-scale applications and opportunities our Vera vertical farming technology is capable of.” Kivioja continues.

“Netled is now the premier provider of vertical farming technology globally and we intend to keep it that way.” he concludes.

Is AppHarvest the Future of Farming?

Special purpose acquisition companies, or SPACs, are red-hot right now, with investors clamoring to get into promising young companies.

In this video from Motley Fool Live, recorded on Jan. 28, Industry Focus host Nick Sciple and Motley Fool contributor Lou Whiteman discuss AppHarvest, one such SPAC that is looking to disrupt the agriculture industry. Here are the details on what AppHarvest wants to do, and a look at whether the company represents the future of farming.

Nick Sciple: One last company I wanted to talk about, Lou, and this is one I think it's -- you pay attention to, but not one I'm super excited to run in and buy. It was a company called AppHarvest. It's coming public via a [SPAC] this year. This vertical farming space. We talked about Gladstone Land buying traditional farmland. AppHarvest is taking a very different approach, trying to lean into some of the ESG-type movements.

Lou Whiteman: Yeah. Let's look at this. It probably wouldn't surprise you that the U.S. is the biggest global farm exporter as we said, but it might surprise you that the Netherlands, the tiny little country, is No. 2. The way they do that is tech: Greenhouse farm structure. AppHarvest has taken that model and brought it to the U.S. They have, I believe, three farms in Appalachia. The pitches can produce 30x the yields using 90% less water. Right now, it's mostly tomatoes and it is early-stage. I don't own this stock either. I love this idea. There's some reasons that I'm not buying in right now that we can get into. But this is fascinating to me. We talked about making the world a better place. This is the company that we need to be successful to make the world a better place. The warning on it is that it is a SPAC. So it's not public yet. Right now, I believe N-O-V-S. That deal should close soon. [Editor's note: The deal has since closed.] I'm not the only one excited about it. I tend not to like to buy IPOs and new companies anyway. I think the caution around buying into the excitement applies here. There is a Martha Stewart video on their website talking up the company, which I love Martha Stewart, but that's a hype level that makes me want to just watch and see what they produce. This is just three little farms in Appalachia right now and a great idea. This was all over my watchlist. I would imagine I would love to hold it at some point, but just be careful because this is, as we saw SPACs last year in other areas, people are very excited about this.

Sciple: Yeah. I think, like we've said, for a lot of these companies, the prospects are great. I think when you look at the reduced water usage, better, environmentally friendly, all those sorts of things. I like that they are in Appalachia. As someone who is from the South, I like it when more rural areas get some people actually investing money there. But again, there's a lot of execution between now and really getting to a place where this is the future of farming and they're going to reach scale and all those sorts of things. But this is a company I'm definitely going to have my radar on and pay attention to as they continue to report earnings. Because you can tell yourself a story about how this type of vertical farming, indoor farming disrupts this traditional model, can be more efficient, cleaner, etc. Something to continue paying attention to as we have more information, because this company, like you said, Lou, isn't all the way public yet. We still got to have this SPAC deal finalized and then we get all our fun SEC filings and quarterly calls and all those sorts of things. Once we have that, I will be very much looking forward to seeing what the company has to say.

Whiteman: Right. Just to finish up along too, the interesting thing here is that it is a proven concept because it has worked elsewhere. The downside of that is that it needed to work there. Netherlands just doesn't have -- and this is an expensive proposition to get started, to get going. There's potential there, but in a country blessed with almost seemingly unlimited farmland for now, for long term it makes sense. But in the short term, it could be a hard thing to really get up and running. I think you're right, just one to watch.

KUWAIT: "Up To 550 kg of Lettuce Per Day Thanks To Faster Growth Cycles"

Hamburg-Based Start-Up &ever Makes Big Strides In Kuwait

Instead of traveling 5,000 kilometers between German growing areas and consumers, lettuce from vertical farming company &ever in Kuwait travels less than 100 kilometers. With its first commercial farm in the middle of the Kuwaiti desert, the Hamburg-based company supplies regionally grown leaf lettuce to local restaurants and grocers. These are grown on more than 3,000 m2 of cultivation area and taste like they were picked fresh from the field. "Thanks to faster-growing cycles, we can produce up to 550 kilograms of lettuce per day," Mark Korzilius, founder of &ever, told IT Zoom.de

Five Bold Questions For Artemis CEO: Allison Kopf

Allison Kopf, CEO of Artemis | RICKEY PEETE

WB's Note: I grew up on a Biodynamic/Organic farm in northern New Jersey. Part of the difficulty of growing crops outside is the mostly inclement weather. There are just too many variables at work to make farming anything less than controllable. Lack of sunshine, oft inclement weather- hail, snow, rain, insects, all contribute to short growing seasons and lack of a good investment harvest. To the commercial grower, outdoor growing can be rewarding, or it can be a loss of an entire grow, and you should pick which one is more enticing. I would pick the one with the most comfort for the investors. Which means, don't mess it up or they are coming for their investment, as in right now! One of my fascinations in commercial growing is something that I saw in Arizona. It was a vast greenhouse, originally manufactured in Holland for growing tomatoes and tulips. What was being grown in this "Dutch" greenhouse was far from tomatoes and flowers. It was nearly three hundred thousand square feet of ultra-high-end cannabis and with the nearly 350 days per year of natural sunshine, this vast greenhouse earned it's keep in short measure.

Allison Kopf is also intrigued by greenhouses and farming. If you read on, you'll discover her passion for growing facilities and why we should embrace the sun.

Warren Bobrow=WB: Where are you from? What was your path to farming? Schooling? What did you originally want to be? (when you were a kid)?

Allison Kopf=AK: I was born and raised in New York. Not New York City; not upstate New York – but smack dab in the middle of the two. Spending as much time as I did in the black dirt region, I’ve always had a deep respect for our state’s farmers and farm workers, though I had no clue I’d end up working in the industry. As a kid, I was always interested in science and technology and originally wanted to be an engineer in Silicon Valley when I grew up. While getting my degree in physics from Santa Clara University, I started my professional career in the solar industry. I was the Project Manager for the California entry into the Solar Decathlon, which is a design and engineering competition for students at over twenty universities worldwide. We raised over $1.2M and over a period of two years, designed and built a solar-powered, efficient, fully functional home.

I loved seeing the innovation and creativity at the Solar Decathlon and I fell in love with solving problems within complex supply chains. This led me back to New York to join BrightFarms, which is one of the largest venture-backed indoor agriculture companies in the country. I was one of their first employees and helped scale up projects across the country as well as focusing on how we could improve operational performance at each individual site. I became frustrated at an over-reliance in the industry on spreadsheets and pen-and-paper to track critical operational data.

I knew that technology could be a catalyst to move the industry forward. This was the spark that inspired me to venture into entrepreneurship and start Artemis.

(FKA Agrilyst).

WB: Why cannabis? How does cannabis fulfill your passion? What is your passion? Outdoor or indoor grown?

AK: Cannabis is an exciting industry and something we started really scaling into this year, and now accounts for about half of our customer base. There’s so much going on today around regulatory compliance and consumer safety, and it seems every day there’s something in the news about a large public cannabis company going through some kind of compliance or product recall issue. It’s a bit of a roller coaster, but it’s exciting to be in the midst of such a fast-growing sector with lots of opportunity ahead for businesses that approach compliance the right way.

For us, the cannabis industry fits right into our passion for helping specialty crop growers minimize risk, increase profit margins, and scale their businesses in what’s becoming a highly competitive and consolidated industry, with many companies even starting to go public on the U.S. stock market. Whether cultivated indoor or outdoor, cannabis, like any crop, is subject to risk. Furthermore, as an emerging industry with a controversial product (still illegal federally in the U.S.), cannabis is subject to increased levels of scrutiny. This translates into a maze of regulations which are constantly changing. Our goal is to help growers safeguard their business from these fast-changing regulations and compliance laws. With the recent news of the CannTrust debacle, cannabis growers, now more than ever, need to make regulatory compliance a core component of their company culture. This includes conducting regular internal audits and digitizing their regulatory compliance paperwork.

It also goes beyond just compliance. Cannabis cultivators are scaling across multiple states and countries, opening up locations faster than ever before. This is hard to do without proper systems in place. One of the easiest things a cultivator can do is implement technology to help plan production and workflow. It adds a layer of accountability, even across multiple locations. The companies that will be at the top in a few years will be the companies who invest in technology and systems for growth.

I’m currently obsessed with outdoor operations. We’ve spent a lot of time in the indoor space (it’s how we got our start), but as the hemp space begins to scale in the U.S., it’s brought me to more and more outdoor operations. The opportunity for cannabis and hemp to play a major part in regenerative agriculture, sustainability, and economic re-birth of the agriculture industry is completely fascinating. Indoor will always be my first love and it’s always exciting to see a really clean, well-run greenhouse or indoor operation.

WB: Tell me about your company? What do you do? What is your six month plan? One year?

AK: Our mission is to solve a problem I’ve personally been obsessed with for a while — creating a more efficient, traceable, and compliant agricultural economy. As part of our mission, we developed the industry’s first real Cultivation Management Platform (CMP) to help global enterprise farmers growing fruits, vegetables, cannabis, hemp, flowers, and other specialty crops to manage all of their people, plants, process and compliance with a single solution. Many growers today aren’t protecting themselves from risk without technology implementation across their full operation. Existing technologies available for the industry weren’t designed for growers with business expansion in mind. Enterprise operations deploy expensive, bulky, ERP systems and/or use regulatory software mandated by states. There hasn’t been a good solution for the enterprise operation to manage cultivation designed for them as the operator. This leaves them at a disadvantage in what is already a low-margin, high-risk business.

We developed our platform as the solution to close this gap. Providing growers with a CMP to add to their technology stack (CMP + ERP or Seed-to-Sale) sets them up for true long-term success. Since launching in 2015, we’ve seen strong customer growth with companies worth a collective $5 billion using the platform daily. Over 1 billion pounds have been harvested using our system in just the past year and a half. Our core customers are enterprise specialty crop farmers interested in security, compliance, profitability, and potential to expand their operations. We also have partnered with many others in the agtech ecosystem, enabling users to further reduce risk across all areas of their business. Over the next 6 - 12 months, we have aggressive growth plans. This year, we entered into the fast-growing cannabis and hemp industries, and we plan to expand our work in this sector. We are also working hard to carve out an industry leadership role and platform in regulatory compliance — helping customers stay ahead of the curve of regulatory compliance in food and cannabis to not only improve product outcomes and satisfy regulations, but to protect the integrity of the trust between producer and consumer.

WB: Is there anything that you eat or drink *or smoke* that brings a tear to your eye when you eat, drink, or smoke it? Do you cook? What is your favorite thing to eat? Favorite restaurant? Where? What kind of food?

AK: My grandmother’s chicken and rice. This has become somewhat of a family joke over the years. My grandmother makes the most incredible chicken and rice dish – the secret is in the butter and the old baking pan. All of the grandparents and cousins have tried to duplicate the recipe to no avail. Nothing is as good as the original. At my wedding shower, my grandmother gifted me the recipe and I definitely let a tear out.

I do love to cook. I’m currently into making comfort food recipes with fresh and local ingredients. The other day, I made biscuits and a summer stew that was pretty stellar. I’ve also been known to dip into Bavarian recipes. My family is German and it’s my favorite food region.

WB: If you can be anywhere in the world right now, where would that be? Doing what? With whom, even *Dead or Alive!* Why?

AK: Easy; playing tennis with Serena Williams. Not only has she set the bar for women who excel in their field, she’s the greatest athlete of her time and it would be incredible to play a game or two against her. I love playing tennis and it would be fun to see if I could return her serve. Perhaps a speaker showdown at Forbes Under 30 in Detroit?
