PARIS, Ky., April 16, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic is unprecedented in its impact on the American people. Schools, public facilities, government offices and businesses have closed in an effort to mitigate the spread of the virus.
In addition to business pauses and closures, a demand for capable companies to take leadership within their respective essential supply chains and keep the engine of the American economy turning is needed now more than ever before.
AgTech Scientific is proud to announce that we will immediately begin utilizing essential employees and greenhouse indoor farming capabilities to serve our nation’s supply chain, to help ease the increasing demand on our food supply systems at this time and beyond. This will not affect AgTech’s ability to supply hemp or hemp derived products. Thanks to the combined management experience under the AgTech umbrella, supply chain disruption, which is commonplace across agricultural industries, was modeled and has allowed the organization to ensure that it consistently keeps more than a one-year supply of raw materials on hand.
Ultra-modern, stable, and controlled growing environments are needed during this pandemic and we believe will continue to be more prevalent in the new economy going forward.
AgTech remains dedicated to protecting employees by encouraging remote work and increasing safety standards for those continuing to work on-site.
We encourage you to remain vigilant and take appropriate steps to protect yourself against the virus during this critical time.
