(“AFAFA”) to exclusively design, develop, manufacture and sell industry leading MiracleFarm “5+1” container farm units.

MiracleFarm plans to utilize industrial robots inside the container to maintain the micro environment inside the MiracleFarm containers. MiracleFarm can also be deployed with solar power generation as well as mobile energy storage units depending on locations. Nature’s Miracle will jointly develop MiracleFarm with AFAFA by investing in research, design of the product, material costing and final manufacturing processes of units. AFAFA will become the manufacturing partner while Nature’s Miracle will be the exclusive partner for marketing, sales and distribution in North America, Europe, Asia and Middle East. Nature’s Miracle is planning to launch our Miracle Farm “5+1” container farm units in North America in mid-2024.

Management Comments

“Pressing significant issue with the vertical farming industry in North America has been the high cost of constructing vertical farming facilities as well as high maintenance and operating costs. We believe MiracleFarm will address this issue by reducing the building cost of vertical farming facilities. In addition, the utilization of automation as well as deployment of renewable energy is expected to reduce operating costs. We have been a leader in designing and sourcing products for the controlled environment agriculture industry.” said Tie “James” Li, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nature’s Miracle. “We hope the launch of MiracleFarm “5+1” will make the vertical farming industry in North America more sustainable by reducing both the initial Capex as well as the on-going operating costs.

The “5+1″ series can be applied in both urban and rural areas and as a sustainable alternative to traditional farming methods”.
