"China: "Energy costs down 40 percent, capacity up 30 percent"
In this video, Exotic Plant's vice general manager Peter De Ridder, explains that it has been a good improvement. "It has a bigger angle, product is even lower in costs in buying, it saves up to 40 percent energy and we can improve our capacity by over 30 percent." Also improvements in crop are noticed. According to to De Riddder, the color of the plant improved and the crop is more equal in size. Additional advantages are that their electricity bill has been reduced, thanks to the lower temperature that the light generates and the fact that they can use half of the space between the racks, which generates space to add more racks.
