Malaysian Newspaper Profiles SANANBIO Technology at Square Roots Urban Farming
The Star described how Malaysian indoor-farming company Square Roots used hydroponic growing systems supplied by SANANBIO in its local cultivation operations.
In a November 26, 2021 article, Malaysian newspaper The Star examined growing interest in indoor vegetable production and identified SANANBIO as the equipment supplier behind Square Roots Urban Farming’s hydroponic system. The story described multilayer cultivation using artificial lighting and controlled growing conditions.
The publication reported a growing area of approximately 400 square metres and an output of up to 200 kilograms of vegetables per day, presented as figures associated with the operation at the time. These figures are historical reporting rather than independently established output for every SANANBIO installation.
The article also quoted representatives discussing the potential of indoor farming to support Malaysia’s vegetable supply and regional agriculture technology development. National self-sufficiency targets mentioned in the report were policy aspirations for 2025, not confirmed outcomes. This coverage offers a practical Southeast Asian application example for buyers evaluating modular hydroponic systems.
