CULTIVATING INNOVATIONS IN AGRICULTURE AND AGTECH

As local demand for healthy and affordable fruits and vegetables increases, the Government of Aruba is working to stimulate local agricultural production.

Innovative agriculture companies and entrepreneurs can help grow the industry by providing efficient solutions for crop growth and disease mitigation through smart technologies like vertical farming.

INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY

To further expand the agricultural economy, Aruba provides plenty of opportunities for agtech companies and other innovators to bolster efficiency in agriculture through revolutionary technology, such as infield soil sensors, data-driven systems and sustainable irrigation.
