[About Exporting Overseas]
We think that SoBiC has a great potential to be the world's new standard of agricultural systems for the next generation due to serious climate changes, shortages of water and narrowing farming land all over the world. However, we cannot do business by just exporting our domestic products. Because SoBiC has some of important factors and adjustments in order to run properly that are subject to the local environment, surrounding conditions as well as the business model for each respective user. We would render our original techniques, deep experienced know-how and license to the potential overseas business partner.

Can be used year-round without a greenhouse

Even in the middle of winter (*1), winter vegetables can be grown without a greenhouse as long as the entire soil in the medium does not freeze.
*1:The inside of the SoBiC unit also retains heat, so even if the temperature goes down to minus 5 degrees Celsius at night, the entire culture medium is unlikely to freeze. In warm areas, many types of crops can be grown in winter. However, if there is little sunlight, growth is very slow.
It can be done "indoors" or in a "greenhouse" if the sun is available!
In that case, you can save a lot of money on utility bills for temperature control, etc.

Production capacity
