GreenPlus Signs Contract for Youth Smart Farm... Contributing to the Spread of Young Farmers

GreenPlus, a smart farm specialist company, announced on the 29th that it has signed a contract worth approximately 3.6 billion KRW for the construction of a youth smart farm in Jeollabuk-do.

According to this contract, a smart farm capable of cultivating fully ripened tomatoes on a 12,540㎡ (3,800 pyeong) site will be built in Gwansang-ri, Cheongha-myeon, Gimje-si, Jeollabuk-do. This contract is the second one signed this month following the previous smart farm contract in Gyeongsangnam-do.

GreenPlus has been dedicated to fostering young farmers for over five years. It holds the largest domestic smart farm for youth and has a track record of construction in Innovation Valley. A smart farm refers to a farm that integrates existing agricultural technology with ICT (big data, artificial intelligence, IoT) and robotic automation technology to grow crops with high efficiency.

Recently, smart farms have emerged as a new growth area in the food industry to address issues in agriculture such as unstable agricultural product supply due to climate change, rising raw material costs, and labor shortages.

Jung Soon-tae, CEO of GreenPlus, stated, “Through continuous improvement of smart farm technology, we have worked to improve the problems in domestic agriculture and increase the available labor force. In the future, fostering young farmers through the construction of youth smart farms is expected to become an important topic for the development of future agriculture. GreenPlus will continue to strive for the stability of agriculture.”
