As we provide the news for free, we are relying on revenues from our banners. Currently, Firmmit is carrying out a smart farm modernization project covering 720 hectares (approximately 2.17 million pyeong) as part of a national project with the Uzbek government.
With this event as a starting point, the company plans to strengthen its network with key local agricultural stakeholders and accelerate the local adoption of FIRMMIT smart farm solutions. According to Permit, the event, held from the 25th to the 27th at the AKIS (Agricultural Knowledge Information Service Center) in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, was attended by over 100 political and business figures from both countries, including Jamshid, Deputy Minister of Agriculture of Uzbekistan; Hyun Mi-joo, Minister Counselor of the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Uzbekistan; Jang Jeong-ryeol, Director of Central Asia at the Korea Rural Community Corporation; Shin Myeong-seop, Director of KOICA; Jarur, Vice President of Agrostar; and Park Seon-gi, Representative of Permit.
In particular, this demonstration was broadcast nationwide via Uzbekistan's local public television, firmly proving that Permit's smart farm technology has established itself as a key national project. At the event, the 'UZapp' technology (Uzbekistan Communication Optimization Solution), optimized for the local telecommunications environment, captivated the attention of the audience.
Why this matters: For operators, the real question is whether the sensing, control, or data layer creates faster and better decisions. The facilities that win are the ones that turn visibility into tighter control and tighter control into better outcomes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does LED fixture selection matter in controlled environment agriculture?
Lighting decisions affect both crop performance and energy intensity. Fixture efficiency, spectral control, and placement all influence how much value a facility gets from every kilowatt-hour.
What should growers evaluate before adopting new LED systems?
Growers should look at fixture efficiency, controllability, crop-specific use case, integration with existing controls, and the operational payback period instead of treating lighting as a standalone hardware purchase.
