Kalera\u2019s location within city limits will shorten travel time from days and weeks to hours, preserving nutrients, freshness and flavor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe pandemic has really shown us how important sustainability is to Hawaii\u2019s future\u2026 One of my goals for a sustainable Hawaii is to double local food production and a bright spot of the pandemic is that more families are consuming locally produced food and attempting to grow their own food. Every little bit helps as we try to work towards our sustainability goals,\u201d said David Ige, Governor of Hawaii. \u201cI believe a mix of traditional farming and new technologies is the wave of the future for agriculture in Hawaii. Innovations like vertical farming help farmers be more productive while using less resources \u2013 especially water. That\u2019s why it\u2019s exciting that a company like Kalera is making an investment to bring their operations to Hawaii, where we are sensitive to reducing our impact on the environment. I think technologies such as vertical farming and hydroponics also have appeal to younger people and could help attract more young farmers to the field.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kalera\u2019s hydroponic systems allow their lettuce to grow while consuming 95% less water than field farmed lettuces and while eliminating the need for chemical pesticide or fertilizer use. Paired with shorter shipping times, Kalera\u2019s operations are more ecofriendly than traditional farming. Additionally, Kalera\u2019s efficient growing methods produce yields that are 300-400 times that of traditional farming, allowing the company to maintain conventional pricing in supermarkets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition to providing a bounty of fresh, affordable and delicious lettuces and microgreens to restaurants, cruise lines, resorts, hotels, and retailers, Kalera\u2019s Honolulu location will increase food security and resilience on the island,\u201d said Daniel Malechuk, Chief Executive Officer for Kalera. \u201cWith price inflation impacting almost all produce that reaches Hawaii due to prolonged shipping times, Kalera\u2019s affordably priced products will increase access to a stable supply of healthy food for Hawaiian citizens and tourists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Distributors anticipate locally grown greens will improve their business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVertical farming is a great way to provide our customers with the freshest quality products grown in a foodsafe and sustainable manner while supporting local farming,\u201d said Dwight Otani, founder and president of D. Otani Produce, Hawaii&#8217;s largest wholesaler, providing local hotels, restaurants, business institutions and retailers with the highest quality produce.<\/p>\n<p>ABOUT KALERA<br \/>Kalera is a technology driven vertical farming company with unique growing methods combining optimized nutrients and light recipes, precise environmental controls, and clean room standards to produce safe, highly nutritious, pesticide-free, non-GMO vegetables with consistently high quality and longer shelf life year round. The company\u2019s high-yield, automated, data-driven hydroponic production facilities have been designed for rapid rollout with industry-leading payback times to grow vegetables faster, cleaner, at a lower cost, and with less environmental impact.<\/p>\n<p>Media Contact<br \/>Molly Antos<br \/>Phone: (847) 848-2090<br \/>Email: molly@dadascope.com<\/p>\n<p>A photo accompanying this announcement is available at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=6USqt5CJveIWiOgQmmzwmVyWrE_crh8sjwbNf3ZVyiHgwLMWpaZQrmpyj0Im0TEuStuygCGF4PigoJ1I4aUZBKdyIcP3bxoGAL2l7iEEp6_CtGt4GT6e3LbNgoRaZ1beeyfkpxCegbmHFCGyx4kYMPARpbjTVt9hdSO8BCXoGJeRrOLpD80kX_1mGMdcUkORefIrC00G1PCcabkjcXlOg8YRvBfXBsSIsHvx6OJUWSSFNVtyI7u1ssspxYoQrJOw5u9OOkSZka7PGk2oGi3kWQ==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/NewsRoom\/AttachmentNg\/bbc057dc-36ef-4931-8208-f11d4e78350e<\/a><\/p>\n<p>      <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"__GNW8366DE3E__IMG\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/newsroom\/ti?nf=ODExNjE4MyMzODkyNDY5IzUwMDA2Nzc2Mw==\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><br \/>\n      <br \/>\n      <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"__GNW8366DE3E__IMG\" src=\"https:\/\/ml.globenewswire.com\/release\/track\/10e46c7a-798e-44d0-8504-cec0df2e9650\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n<div class=\"mw_contactinfo\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new facility will provide produce to one of the most remote population centers in the world as tourism begins to resume operation during COVID ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) &#8212; Tech-driven vertical farming company Kalera (Euronext Growth Oslo ticker KAL, Bloomberg: KSLLF), today announced it will open a facility in Honolulu, Hawaii in 2021.
