About PlanTFarm

PlanTFarm is a South Korean agricultural technology company, founded in 2004, that specializes in indoor vertical farming. The company provides a comprehensive suite of services that includes the design and construction of smart farm facilities, operational support, and research into cultivation technologies. It caters to clients seeking data-driven solutions for modern agriculture.

The company's technological foundation integrates several key areas to optimize crop growth and efficiency. These include agricultural biotechnology for developing new crop varieties and nutrient solutions, sensor monitoring for real-time data on growing environments, and robotics for automation. Furthermore, PlanTFarm utilizes cloud and IoT technologies for remote data collection and processing, along with big data and AI to predict and respond to environmental changes. Their system demonstrates significant resource efficiency, using less than 5% of the water and achieving over 40 times the production efficiency compared to the same area of open-field farming.

PlanTFarm offers a range of products tailored to different scales of operation. These include large-scale indoor vertical farms for mass production of leafy greens, smart greenhouses for fruits and vegetables, and smaller container-type smart farms. They also provide home and business-use cultivation equipment. The company has constructed over 75 smart farms, covering an accumulated area of more than 13,000 square meters, and has developed over 166 crop recipes.

Financially, PlanTFarm has attracted significant investment, raising a total of $12.5M. A notable funding round was a Series C in December 2025, which raised $9.9M from investors including IMM Investment, Kolmar BNH, and Gentium Partners. The company has also engaged in strategic partnerships, such as a joint venture with Pure Harvest in October 2021 to operate indoor vertical farms.
