our story
SAY HELLO TO THE FUTURE OF AGRICULTURE
At Ino-Gro Inc., we sustainably grow a wide variety of fresh and healthy lettuce, herbs and other leafy greens in our hydroponic farm which is built inside a 40 ft. shipping container. Using the latest agricultural technology our crops are given the optimum growing environment and conditions which enable us to grow 24/7/365. Our produce is non-GMO (genetically modified organism), pesticide and herbicide free, guaranteeing only hearty and nutritious produce. Our enclosed environment eliminates the challenges and variability in weather that traditional farming faces.
FROM SEEDLING TO HARVEST
During the growing cycle, we use 85% less water compared to traditional farming techniques. This is a result of our closed loop irrigation system which constantly recycles the water in the farm. Using energy efficient LED lighting, our plants recieve the perfect spectrum of light required for growth. Vertical farming maximises growing space for food production and additionaly, provides a high density growing environment.
FARM TO FORK IN A MATTER OF HOURS
Being situated in such a prime location, we guarantee delivery of produce from farm to fork within hours of harvest. Our aim is to reduce the vast quantities of produce imported into Barbados, and whilst helping to create local supply, we minimise Barbados’ ever-increasing carbon footprint and food import bill. Currently we supply our leafy greens to numerous restaurants and supermarkets around the island.

ABOUT US
RISHI PANJWANI, DIRECTOR
Feeding the vastly growing population of today is proving to be more and more challenging for us human beings. Hence this is why we must continue to innovate and use sustainable measures to grow produce. We at Ino-Gro are proud to be the first to bring this type of modern day farming to Barbados. I strongly recommend for more youth to be involved within the industry as there is extensive knowledge to be taught and discovered.
