Supplying 34 different products across Singapore
Dutch indoor farming company Growy has successfully opened its new farm in Singapore and transitioned from a research and development growing phase to commercial operations. This new facility represents Growy’s commitment to providing tasty, healthy, and affordable greens for Singapore, contributing to the nation’s food resilience goals.
Spanning 8,000m² and equipped with advanced automation, the Growy Singapore facility now supplies 34 different products to over 40 esteemed hotels and restaurants across the city. Operating under the well-established Chef’s Farm brand from Amsterdam, the farm offers a reliable, sustainable source of flavorful greens, including microgreens such as Amaranth and Shiso, herbs like Basil and Parsley, and baby leaf varieties like Kale Mixes. One highlight is the Singapore Salad Mix, which includes ingredients like Bok Choy, Naibai, and Tatsoi.
“Since we founded Growy five years ago, we’ve recognized Asia’s vast potential for sustainable food production, and we’re thrilled to officially open our Singapore farm. The warm welcome and strong support from the government, local institutions, and universities have been invaluable, and we’re eager to continue expanding and contributing to Singapore’s food security goals in the years ahead!” Ard van de Kreeke, Founder, Growy
“This farm differs a lot from our Amsterdam farm. Here we work with bigger batches (benches) with completely different growing conditions. The Amsterdam farm is a next level version of the one in Singapore, with even higher automation, lower CAPEX, energy use and labor costs,” says Laura van de Kreeke, Markcom manager at Growy.
Looking forward, Growy aims to enter the retail market by year-end, bringing its nutrient-rich greens sold under the Growy brand directly to Singaporean neighborhoods. This expansion reinforces Growy’s commitment to sustainability and food security, supporting Singapore’s vision for a resilient and vibrant food ecosystem.
