Global Industry: Infarm strengthens relationship in Canada

Bremerhaven. (bm) Infarm and Sobeys have announced an agreement to accelerate the availability and distribution of fresh produce to an additional four of Canada’s ten provinces by 2023. The agreement builds on the success of a partnership launched in 2020 – the first of national scope between a Canadian retailer and a vertical farming company – to offer locally grown, Infarm produce to Sobeys Inc. consumers Canada-wide. As part of the deal, Infarm GmbH will construct new Growing Centers at sites in Calgary, Halifax and Winnipeg – with Hamilton, Ontario, near Toronto planned to host the location for the largest Infarm Growing Center in North America with a growing capacity of 37,000 square foot.
