YesHealth Group Partners With Nordic Harvest ApS To Open The Largest Vertical Farm In Europe
Taoyuan, Taiwan, 13.4.2020
After months of detailed planning, Taiwan based vertical farming company YesHealth Group has commenced construction of its first international vertical farming project in Copenhagen, Denmark.
In March, construction of the vertical farm in Denmark’s Copenhagen Markets in Taastrup has started. Operations are planned to begin in Q4 of this year with the strategic partner Nordic Harvest ApS taking over local operations. Once the vertical farm reaches full production capacity, it will yield more than 3.000 kg every day making it the most efficient vertical farm in Europe to date.
Lead by YesHealth Group’s Chairman, Tsai Wen-Chin and senior management of Nordic Harvest ApS, today’s event marks not only a decisive day in the company’s history but also in the industry of vertical farming.
For YesHealth Group, this event represents a crucial milestone in its international expansion and the first step in its elaborate expansion plan. YesHealth Group’s technology will have a proven total yield of 7.500 kg per day, once construction in Denmark is completed. This validation of yield on an international level is unprecedented in the company’s history and in the vertical farming industry.
Therefore, for the industry, this event marks an unprecedented global proof of concept and technology capabilities on a never-before-seen scale.
“With all of our technology in-house, YesHealth Group will now be able to utilize real-world data from vastly different climates and environments and improve our technology at an even greater speed and efficiency”, YesHealth Group’s Chairman Tsai affirms.
Furthermore, according to Director of Business Development at YesHealth Group, Jesper Hansen, “this event also proves that it is now possible to commercialize vertical farming produce on a large scale and that this produce will be able to support the traditional farming sector from now on. Vertical farming is no longer just a theoretical concept for the garage.”
Completion of the first vertical farm in Copenhagen with Nordic Harvest is set to be in November this year with further plans to expand into the other Nordic countries over the next years. “Nordic Harvest ApS is backed by prominent investors and leaders within the business, the food industry, and agriculture making Nordic Harvest the ideal partner for YesHealth Group” explains Jesper Hansen.
YesHealth Group is a mission-driven company that aims to provide fresh, nutritious, and safe vegetables to the world. YesHealth Group is currently the largest vertical farming company in Asia with plans to expand globally. Its vertical farms address climate change and food security challenges through sustainable and environment-friendly agricultural practices built for the 21st century and beyond.
