Business Dynamics and Challenges
Business Activities:
ANLAG operates within the agricultural sector, producing vegetables using shadenet structures. The main crops produced are robot peppers, spinach, peas and
green beans.
Challenges/Needs:
As a result of off-take agreements with their diverse markets, the volumes requested were often too large, and ANLAG struggled to meet the growing demand. It became clear that the area planted
under shadenet needed to be expanded, but the business lacked the funding to invest in additional space.
