Mulitinational Sharp begins tests for growing strawberries in Dubai
Strawberries are popular in the Middle East, but it is difficult to keep their freshness during transport as they are perishable and spoil easily.
Sharp is collecting data at the plant factory where the inside environment is appropriately controlled using the company's technologies and products such as light-emitting diode lights, air conditioners, and equipments to monitor temperature and humidity.
The Osaka-based company invested roughly $100,000, or 9.9 million yen, to build the laboratory test facility on the premises of its local sales subsidiary in Dubai, where up to 3,000 strawberries can be produced per month.
