COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS

WHO SHOULD READ THIS AND WHY

Large food retailers, SMEs, food processors, pharmaceutical manufacturers, beauty product manufacturers, governments, large farmers and organisations providing food aid. 

KEY DRIVERS

The perfect storm occurred with the arrival of COVID. There is no doubt that the collapse of many supply chains, more specifically food supply chains, highlighted poor food security. The UK simultaneously implemented BREXIT which decreased their levels of food security.  Then add the pressure of carbon footprint issues which are further exacerbated by long food supply chains, and the storm is almost perfect.

The supply chains that were broken were not limited to food, which further highlighted the weaknesses of globalisation for the first time.

 

These are government problems, but the truth is that they will shift this burden to the private sector. It IS a business issue that requires private sector adjustments.,       

SOLUTIONS

Fresh produce and food production solutions are not as simple as before. Importing has complex outcomes now.  Traditional farming cannot deliver it all, so new solutions are required. The mix of solutions will be a critical part of fresh produce and food production.  Competitive advantage, now more fleeting in nature, will become more dependent on pertinent decisions being made.   

OPTIONS

There are four agricultural segments - traditional soil-based, contained agriculture, vertical agriculture and greenhouses.

Each has their own strengths and weaknesses. So how do we select the mix?

For SMEs we have the full range of smaller machines from Opcom available.

 

If you training people or want a small deskop model that does small plants and vines then there is the GrowBox. If you want to do a larger volume of items there is the GrowWall unit which has a small footprint and is ideal for lettuce and similar plants. If you have a room that supports a large bank of growing units there is the GrowCube unit which allows for 4 units to be stacked vertically. There is also the small footprint GrowTank  unit available ideally suited to tall vine products. have a look at the Opcom products in more detail on https://www.opcomfarm.com/EU/pagenew The page indicates Recommended Retail Prices but contact us for prices suited to your deal.
