TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / December 11, 2023 / In response to the growing demand for innovative greenhouse technologies in Spanish-speaking countries, CO2 GRO Inc. is proud to announce the launch of its new website. This strategic move is aimed at enhancing communication and support for our Spanish-speaking customers, reflecting our commitment to catering to the unique needs of this vibrant market.

Spanish-speaking countries such as Mexico and Spain (each having over 6 billion square feet of greenhouses which currently can only use CO₂ atmospheric gassing) are crucial regions for CO2 GRO. This is evidenced by our successful Technology Adaptation Projects (TAP) and the opportunities of these markets serving North American and European fresh produce requirements. Our dynamic aqueous CO₂ enrichment technology, a solution to the challenges posed by high venting requirements in tropical greenhouses, has been rapidly adopted across Spanish-speaking countries around the world. From roses in Colombia to greenhouse vegetables in Central America, our technology has proven to significantly increase crop yields without the inefficiencies of gaseous CO₂ enrichment.

The new Spanish website is more than a translation; it is a portal designed specifically for our Spanish-speaking clientele, offering detailed information about our products, technology, and the success stories of local growers. With this launch, CO2 GRO reinforces its dedication to delivering sustainable and efficient solutions to the global agricultural community, now with a special focus on the burgeoning Spanish-speaking market.

CO2 GRO's VP Sales, Aaron Archibald commented, "We are so excited to offer our website in the native language that offers so much opportunity for growth in the controlled environmental agriculture (CEA)/protected agriculture space catering to the vegetable, fruit, horticulture, and specialty products market."

About CO2 GRO Inc.

CO2 GRO Inc. is a precision ag-tech, clean-tech company with a focus on People, the Planet and Prosperity. Our vision is to become one of the leading companies enhancing global food production from protected agriculture. By helping our customers sustainably increase yield and profitability, we could help feed up to half a billion people worldwide while reducing our customers' ecological footprint.

About 300 million MT of fruit and vegetables are grown annually from about 5 million hectares of protected vegetable facilities globally (6 kg/m²/year of average production). A 30% yield increase using our technology could add up to 100 million MT of fruits and vegetables per year. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends annual fruit and vegetable consumption of up to 200 kg per year per adult.

Our Target Market: The estimated 800 billion square foot global protected grower market is comprised of 700 billion square feet of fruits & vegetables (Cuesta Roble 2019 estimate), and an estimated 100 billion square feet of protected floriculture and other medicinal plants and non-food varieties.

Our Technology: CO2 Delivery Solutions enriches plants with CO ₂ by misting an aqueous CO₂ solution directly onto plants grown in greenhouses and other protected grow facilities globally.

Value Proposition: Approximately 98% of protected grow facilities globally cannot add CO ₂ by atmospheric gassing, missing out on up to 30% increased yield potential and 100% more gross profit. CO2 GRO's technology enables all protected growers regardless of facility or location to enrich their plants with CO₂ to realize up to 30% yield increases. In addition, our technology suppresses the growth of micro-pathogens such as E.coli and powdery mildew, leading to healthier crops. Growers currently employing CO₂ gassing can save up to 90% of CO₂ gas used, reducing their ecological footprint and production costs.

Patent Protection: CO2 GRO's CO2 Delivery Solutions technology is protected by a suite of patents and patents pending.

Business Model: Our technology is sold to growers based on the cultivation area installed at prices that provide a high return on their investment and high margins for our shareholders.

Global Expansion: CO2 GRO's management is rapidly expanding its international marketing partner relationships into Mexico, Spain, the EU, the UK, South Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Latin America as well as in its US and Canadian base.

Environmental Social and Governance ESG: CO2 GRO is committed to good Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) policies and practices. We are an equal opportunity employer of choice and opportunity.
