"Revolutionizing Fresh Produce: Texas Vertical Farms Disrupt Supply Chains"
Eden Green Technology, a farming technology company based in Texas, is utilizing indoor vertical farming to disrupt the fresh produce supply chain. Their vertical greenhouse, located near a Walmart distribution center, can grow 2 million pounds of lettuce per year, reducing the need for long-distance transportation. Another company, Revol Greens, has also opened a large controlled environment agriculture lettuce facility in Texas. Meanwhile, Mexico has imposed a 50% tariff on white corn exports from the US, as part of a trade dispute over genetically modified corn. Quality Custom Distribution is opening a new distribution center in Texas, and US Customs and Border Protection officers seized nearly 900,000 fentanyl pills in California.
