Vertical Farming In Indonesia
Workers tend, harvest, and package fresh vegetables inside the 18-meter-tall vertical farming facility at Ladang Farm in Cilandak, South Jakarta, Indonesia, on October 7, 2025. The high-tech indoor farm produces about two tons of vegetables each month, including Thai basil, Italian basil, perilla, mint, and lettuce. All crops grow hydroponically under controlled conditions before being distributed to online shops, restaurants, and retail buyers across Jakarta. Founded in 2022, Ladang Farm spends its first three years on research to ensure consistent, high-quality harvests before officially introducing its vertical farming system to the public in 2025.
