Greenphyto is a Singapore-based agri-tech company focused on advancing sustainable food production through innovative indoor farming technologies. The company’s vision is to become the world’s premier “Farms of the Future”, supporting food security through automated, climate-independent farming solutions.
The company recently gained international recognition for operating the world’s tallest indoor vertical farm, officially recognised by Guinness World Records™, with growing chambers reaching 23.3 metres in height. Located in Jurong West, the fully automated hydroponic facility leverages artificial intelligence, robotics, automation technologies and proprietary farming systems designed to optimise crop growth and operational efficiency.
Greenphyto’s flagship facility is capable of producing up to 2,000 tonnes of leafy greens annually at full capacity and cultivates a broad range of crops, including Asian leafy vegetables, baby spinach, arugula and lettuces marketed under the Hydrogreens brand. The company has also developed an extensive portfolio of patented technologies supporting crop optimisation, climate control and energy efficiency.
In addition to its Singapore operations, Greenphyto is expanding internationally through overseas offices and by introducing turnkey farming solutions and AI-enabled agricultural technologies to global markets. The company’s approach combines sustainable food production with digital innovation, including AI systems capable of monitoring crop health, predicting yields and improving production planning and resource efficiency.
„I did not set out to build the world’s tallest vertical farm. I set out to answer a question that mattered: how do we feed a land scare nation cleanly, affordably and at scale. The clarity of purpose has driven every strategic decision I have made.“
Susan Chong
„We believe the global challenge of feeding a rapidly growing world population cannot be solved without visionary innovators — but equally important are the leaders who can translate bold strategic ideas into execution and scalable impact. What Susan Chong and Greenphyto have built is truly impressive: an organization that combines world-class scientific and technological standards with a strong ecosystem of collaboration across seed technology, robotics, AI and sustainable food production. What stood out to us most during our visit was not only the innovation itself, but also the ability to attract talented people who share the passion, mindset and commitment required to turn these ambitions into reality.“
