Competitive Edge

Arista Farming’s main competitive advantages are:

  • Efficient production utilising automated mobile NFT “open” gutter growing & harvesting system with the integration of the system
  • Circular waste management system
  • Experience in the agriculture industry goes back to 2000.

Marketing Strategy

Arista Farming will feature advanced equipment imported from Denmark to create a semi-automated open gutter growing & harvesting system. In recent years, there is strong government support for locally produced vegetables – we aim to leverage on “eat local” movement to market our produce. With a production capacity of nearly 1.2 million kgs of vegetables per year, we target to distribute our produce to all supermarkets in Singapore.

At Arista Farming, our business strategy is built upon a foundation of sustainable growth and innovation in the agricultural industry. 
Our key elements are as follows:

Vertical
Integration

We aim to enhance efficiency and maintain control over the entire supply chain by implementing vertical integration: this involves expanding our farming operations and investing in the latest greenhouse technologies to ensure a consistent supply of premium-quality vegetables year-round.
