Strawberries are grown at Singrow, a local farm that accelerates harvest and cuts short cultivation period of the highly demanded fruit.
SINGAPORE: Nestled in the heart of Henderson estate, a local start-up which grows strawberries indoors is expecting to yield its first harvest in September for sale.
Singrow’s technologies enable strawberries to grow at a temperature of about 28 to 30 degrees Celsius - a warmer climate than usual for strawberries – and the company aims to achieve eight to nine harvests per year. This is compared to the roughly four harvests a year on farms in Japan that grow regular strawberries.
