The Mushroom Capital of the World may soon become the Indoor Ag Capital of the World, too, now that a Middle Eastern hydroponics giant has committed to support its growth in Kennett Township.

Pegasus Agriculture Group, based in Dubai, aligned itself with Kennett’s plans for a global indoor agriculture production, research, training, and service hub during presentations this week at Indoor Ag Con Asia.

“Kennett’s initiative to develop a world-class indoor agriculture hub is not only visionary but eminently practical,” Pegasus Founder and Chairman Mahmood Almas said. “That’s because Kennett, unlike most other areas, can leverage the extensive infrastructure of its historic indoor agriculture industry. That makes all the difference to Pegasus.”

That infrastructure can quickly and easily pivot to other indoor crops, opening the door for Pegasus to enter the U.S. market at lower costs and risks, said Michael Guttman, a director in the Kennett Township Sustainable Development Office.

“Kennett is also working with a number of its world-class regional agriculture, engineering, and business schools to develop a joint indoor agriculture research, training, and innovation incubator center in Kennett, designed to work closely with private production firms located in the area,” Almas said.

“This center, the first of its kind in a major production area, will be a major asset to the rapidly evolving indoor agriculture industry.”
