Colruyt Launches Basil From Its Own Vertical Farm
Belgian retailer Colruyt Group has introduced basil grown in its own vertical farms under its Boni Selection store brand.
The herb is available in 31 Bio-Planet stores and online via the Collect&Go service.
The retailer plans to roll out vertically farmed coriander later in the year.
The cultivation process is pesticide-free and requires 90% less water and 20 times less space compared to traditional farming.
The farm is energy efficient as it operates on 100% green electricity generated by wind turbines and solar panels and uses low-cost LED lighting developed by the company.
