Vancouver, BC – (AccessWire – May 5, 2020) – CubicFarm® Systems Corp. (TSXV:CUB) (“CubicFarms” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received a signed sales order and payment in full for a six-section HydroGreen system from Tokyo, Japan-based GrassGo Co., Ltd.

“We are excited to have our first feed system sale in Asia. GrassGo’s representative toured CubicFarms’ HydroGreen facility in Renner, South Dakota, and was shown the HydroGreen system’s unique process to sprout grains in a controlled environment with minimal use of land, labour and water – all with the push of a button. GrassGo subsequently placed the order for the system to sell nutritious feed and also use it as a demonstration unit to market to growers in Japan,” said John de Jonge, President of HydroGreen, CubicFarms’ feed division. 

“Japan, world-renowned for the quality of its beef, holds significant market potential for nutritious livestock feed that could contribute to better animal health, growth, milk production and reproduction. We look forward to building our relationship with GrassGo and supporting its sales efforts.”
