Encouraged by the growth of its current IT Business, the Group now intends to expand its IT Business further by venturing into the provision of customised hydroponics IOT systems and solutions for the agriculture industry (“Hydroponics IOT Solutions”). Hydroponic farming is a type of modern farming technique which involves the usage water to replace soil to grow plants. In the absence of soil, the roots of plants are exposed to water and nutrient rich solutions that contain all the nutrients and substances required to grow a plant. Hydroponic systems can be established in various scales ranging from small-scale hydroponic systems that are set up at yards or balconies of houses to grow vegetables for households’ consumption, to large-scale hydroponic systems covering acres of land to grow crops for commercial purposes. Some large-scale hydroponic farms also set up their hydroponic systems vertically which consumes less space by utilising layers of racks that are stacked on top of one another to grow crops.
