Subic firm grows fresh greens indoors

SUBIC FREEPORT–Tucked away in a fairly ordinary looking building inside Subic Bay is Central Luzon’s only indoor hydroponics system-producing the salad vegetables that are fertilizer and pesticide-free.
Two hydroponic systems, with six levels each, provide the nutrients to rows of healthy Frillice Lettuce, Wasabe greens, and Arugula plants.
“The program is a sustainable and renewable farming technology. Our produce are pesticide-free, grown in a controlled environment, and fresh because we harvest based on demand,” AtushiKadoi, Subic Amino general manger explained.
The project is run by Subic Amino Hightech Corporation which began growing the greens on its nutrient-rich water beds a few months ago.
The system is housed in a 6-meter by 15-meter room where temperature is maintained at 22 degrees celsius, cooler than most offices inside the Freeport.
A combination of LED and fluorescent bulbs is used, instead of direct sunlight, for the plants’ photosynthesis.
“Salad greens inside the Freeport come from Baguio or Tagaytay, meaning substantial travel time and the potential of mishandling. With hydroponics, we are assured that what we buy for our families or serve to our clients are grown in a safe and controlled environment,” Kadoi explained.
Subic Amino Hightech Corporation used to recycle CD and DVD casing into plastic pellets that may be used for new plastic-based products.
“Importation was a challenge in our plastics business, even if we are inside a Freeport zone. Since our company was in the business of renewables and environmentally-friendly technologies, we decided to put up the indoor hydroponics,” Kadoi said.
They are banking on the growing community of health conscious and the environmentalists at heart in Olongapo City and Subic Bay to give them the push that is needed to take the business into a higher level.
Aside from residents of Kalayaan and Binictican housing areas, Ben’s Kitchen at Harbor Point and Royal Duty Free shop have taken on the challenge of introducing a fully sustainable produce in their menu in their shelves.
“I hope more families will realize the advantage in taste of our produce. For businesses, I am sure that their clients will also value their brand by offering fresh and healthy meals,” he added.
Kadoi, who prefers to be called Ats, has lived in the Philippines for 15 years. He led a Japanese aid program for the Aetas after the Mt. Pinatubo erupted in the early 1990′s.
Frillice lettuce are available for P200 per 200 grams pack while a mixed leaves pack consisting of Frillice lettuce (a combined with two or three other leaves like arugula, wasabi greens, mustard leaf, beet, mustard spinach or black rose) goes for P260 per 200 gram packs.
“We also deliver as long as it is within the Freeport zone. Orders are taken in the morning and we harvest and deliver in the afternoon,” said Jackie Sison, marketing officer of Subic Amino. ●Butch Gunio
