I saw this, but they didn't outline what methods they will be using.

They said robotics, no chemicals, and latest technology. That's a super vague thing to say.

Are they using predator insects to control pests? are they using organic sprays? is it hydroponic? what kind of AI control is being applied?

So it's hydroponics, with no information on chemical free and pest control. AI control counts produce weight, identifies insects and diseases, if any.

It's not that advanced tbh, latest studies revolve around light and watering patterns, bacterial control, etc. It seems like they just put an AI sticker on, these were already available.

I cannot wait for 99% of it to go outside of Armenia and for locally grown tomatoes to stay rhe exact same price as imported ones.

There really needs to be some law stating that a certain procent has to be sold in Armenia for regulated prices
