2012
R&D begins
Home experiments and a simple question: what would a strawberry taste like if it never had to travel?
Learned: flavour needs its own light, climate and agronomy — so the platform would be engineered in-house, end to end.
Ultra-Fresh Produce Company
Building the world’s next premium berry company.
Our model is designed to grow premium berries close to the people who eat them — for ripeness, flavour and consistency.
Harvested at peak ripeness and available the same day.
Why now
Some of the world’s finest berries were never meant to travel.
So we are building farms closer to the people who eat them.
The import chain
Picked for the journey
To survive long transit, berries are harvested before ripeness and selected for durability. Aroma, sweetness and texture are traded away at the moment of picking — and transit does not give them back.
A typical route to the shelf
- Farm
- Pack house
- Freight
- Import hub
- Distribution

The ultra-fresh model
Picked for the table
Grown minutes from the market, a berry can stay on the plant until it is actually ripe — then be harvested, packed once and enjoyed the same day. For premium gastronomy and modern retail, that difference is the product.
The ultra-fresh route
- Farm, minutes away
- Shelf, the same day
The Product
Ultra-fresh: harvested at peak ripeness and available the same day.
Agricultural Technologies is building an ultra-fresh produce company, starting with premium strawberries.
Premium strawberriesDessert varieties selected for sweetness, aroma and texture — harvested only at peak ripeness.
Wild strawberriesFraises des bois — the flavour long logistics erased from shelves.
BilberriesThe European forest berry that rarely leaves its forest.
The most valuable crops are often the least transportable.
Grown for taste, not transitPicked only at peak ripeness
Inside a growing chamber
A berry that never had to travel.
Harvested by hand at peak ripeness, in a controlled environment built around flavour rather than shelf life.
One day. The whole journey.
How the same-day model is designed to work — from harvest to table.
- 05:30Harvest at peak ripeness
Picked by hand, berry by berry — only when it is ready.
- 08:00Quality control
Ripeness, aroma and condition checked before anything moves.
- 10:00Packed once, gently
No repacking, no long cold chain — the berry travels once.
- 14:00Local channels
Delivered to retail and kitchens that are minutes away, not weeks.
- 19:00On the table
Served the day it was picked. That is ultra-fresh.
Same-day is the base operating model of the network: farms close to the market, no long logistics. Availability in a specific store, city or channel is announced once operations there are confirmed.
Why Agricultural Technologies
Built since 2012. Proven in commercial environments.
Since 2012, the founder and core team have been developing and operating the platform in commercial environments — including a 1,700 m² reference site.
→
Four generations of the platform
Four generations of hardware, lighting and growing programmes — each designed, built and proven in commercial production.
Learned: reproducibility beats peak results — every component became part of one full-cycle system.
→
First commercial harvests
Berries grown on the platform were sold commercially in founder-led operations in Russia.
Learned: the market pays for flavour — the product, not the equipment, defines the company.
1,700 m²
Industrial reference site
An industrial-scale facility built and operated in founder-led operations in Russia.
Learned: industrial discipline is a craft of its own — operating standards became part of the platform.
Retail
Shelves and recognition
In founder-led operations in Russia, berries grown on the platform reached federal retail shelves and received independent product-quality recognition.
Learned: premium positioning holds at retail scale — this is a product company, not an equipment vendor.
2026
New-generation 400 m² facility
A facility of the platform’s newest modification — the reference design for the future network.
Next: designed to be replicated market by market with strategic partners.
GCC
First international joint ventures
Premium local production built with regional leaders — the entry point of the international network.
Founder-led operations, RussiaThe platform at industrial scale — people, plants and light
Beyond indoor farming.
The platform was not designed on paper. Every generation has grown real berries, for real customers, in real production.
01
A product company
We build companies around a berry people remember — not facilities looking for a purpose.
02
One integrated platform
Hardware, agronomy and software are developed together, in-house — proprietary technology with an expanding IP portfolio.
03
An operating standard
Every farm in the network is designed to run on one operating standard — so quality repeats.
The System Behind the Berry
One integrated system. One measure of success: the berry.
Our proprietary full-cycle platform integrates agronomy, engineering, software and operations — making quality reproducible.
It starts with a living plant — and people who understand it.
Variety selection and an own seedling programme, focused on flavour first — led by agronomy with 25 years of strawberry specialisation. Live honey bees pollinate the crop inside the chambers.
Product outcomeBerries selected and grown for taste — not for durability in transit.

The chamber holds perfect growing weather in place — every day.
Sealed chambers with precision climate and an aeroponic root environment: temperature, humidity and nutrition held to the crop’s programme around the clock.
Product outcomePredictable quality — the same conditions, batch after batch.

Light tuned to the plant — engineered in-house.
Planar LED luminaires developed for the platform sit close to the canopy, delivering an even spectrum across every tier with high-efficiency power electronics.

Inside the chamber
- 01Plants in production
Strawberry plants across the tiers — from blossom to ripe berry, in one controlled space.
- 02Blossom & pollination
Honey bees inside the growing chambers are a visible sign of a biologically functioning growing environment. They pollinate the crop — and make honey.
- 03Planar LED lighting
In-house luminaires deliver a tuned spectrum close to the canopy.
- 04Kinematic racking
Mobile composite racks move the crop through the chamber — space works harder.
- 05Climate & air
Conditioned air holds temperature and humidity to the crop’s programme.
Growing programmes, control logic and FarmOS internals remain proprietary and are not published.
Better technology. Better berries.

01Dialogue
Market, ambition and fit.
02Feasibility
Site, economics and demand validation.
03First facility
A dedicated SPV builds and launches.
04Proven operations
KPIs validated in the local market.
05Staged replication
Scale follows evidence.
Contributions and stages are indicative; the structure of each venture is defined in negotiation and final documentation.
The Network
Premium berries can be grown year-round in any climate.
What changes from market to market is engineering infrastructure and unit economics — so the network grows where both support premium local production, through wholly owned farms and joint ventures with regional leaders.
Historical operationsRussia
Founder-led operations: platform generations, commercial harvests and a 1,700 m² reference site.
In progressNew-generation facility
A 400 m² facility of the platform’s newest modification — the reference design for the network.
Approved target modelGCC
First international joint ventures — premium local production with regional leaders.
AmbitionAsia & Europe
Dense premium markets where minutes-not-days logistics is the standard.
Every milestone is labelled by status — historical, in progress, target model or ambition — and is updated as it is confirmed.
For Investors
A differentiated product. An integrated platform. A staged model.
A staged operating model built around the decisive lessons of the controlled-environment industry — product economics first, staged validation before scale, and a clear separation between the technology company and each operating farm.

Founder & Team
Since 2012, one question.
Since 2012, Ilya Tsigvintsev has been solving one question: how to grow a berry worth eating every day of the year, close to the people who eat it.
“The berries I wanted didn’t exist in stores. So I built the company that grows them.”
