Covid-19: AgTech to produce non-hemp based food products

US-based AgTech Scientific has announced plans to produce non-hemp based food products at its greenhouse facility to support the country during the coronavirus (Covid-19) supply chain crisis.

The company noted that it will make use of greenhouse indoor farming capabilities to meet the increasing demand for food supply in the country.

The company currently operates two large facilities in Paris, Kentucky, within close proximity to each other.

The company’s two million square feet greenhouse and ag-processing centre is capable of year-round indoor cultivation, as well as serve its outdoor farming operations in central Kentucky.

The company added that this will not dent its ability to supply hemp or hemp-derived products.

AgTech Scientific in its press release said: “Ultra-modern, stable and controlled growing environments are needed during this pandemic and we believe will continue to be more prevalent in the new economy going forward.

“AgTech remains dedicated to protecting employees by encouraging remote work and increasing safety standards for those continuing to work on-site.”

To protect employees from danger of infection, the company is encouraging employees to remote work and has also increased safety standards for workers who continue to work on-site.

Headquartered in Paris, Kentucky, AgTech Scientific has been supplying food supplements and is engaged in the production of hemp-derived compounds as its key ingredients in bulk and its proprietary consumer packaged goods.

The company has established partnerships and subsidiaries across 13 states in the US for additional indoor/outdoor growing, extraction, consumer packaged goods manufacturing and distribution.
