Hydroponic farm in Singapore

Oh Chin Huat Hydroponics Farm is one example that uses high-technology methods to grow vegetables and sell them in our local markets and supermarkets.


Go to this site to learn more about hydroponics plants.

The following pictures were taken when I went there last year with a group of students.
