What Archisen does
Archisen is a Singapore-based agritech company founded in 2015 by Sven Yeo and Vincent Wei that designs, builds, and operates high-tech indoor urban farms using Controlled-Environment Agriculture (CEA). The company controls microclimate variables including temperature, humidity, light spectrum, and nutrient composition through IoT-enabled sensors and its proprietary Croptron™️ operating system, which collects real-time structured data to power dynamic automation and per-cycle yield optimization. Notable installations include the HMGICS smart farm at Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Center Singapore and the FarmByte Archisen vertical farm in Johor Bahru, billed as the largest vertical farm in Malaysia.
Archisen operates through two primary business lines: JUST® FARMS, which delivers turnkey urban farm solutions (farm design, market analysis, crop selection, regulatory approvals, and financial modelling) to investors, corporations, and government-linked partners, and JUST® PRODUCE, its consumer brand supplying salads and specialty herbs through retailers, restaurants, HORECA channels, and wholesale distribution in Singapore. The company has expanded into Malaysia via a SGD 2.4 million joint venture with FarmByte (agritech arm of Johor Corporation) signed in November 2023 and is a core partner in the 200-acre Southern Agropolis integrated agrifood hub in the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone, targeting 10,000 tonnes of annual production and over 1,000 jobs, with groundbreaking scheduled for January 2026.
Revenue is generated through three streams: professional services and system sales from JUST FARMS turnkey solutions, fresh produce sales from JUST PRODUCE via B2B2C distribution, and equity/licensing arrangements from joint ventures such as FarmByte and the Southern Agropolis project. Archisen is a privately held company operating with a small cross-functional team of 11-50 employees and has been funded primarily by strategic corporate investors tied to its joint ventures rather than traditional venture capital rounds.

Archisen competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Sky Greens: Singapore-based vertical farming pioneer operating rotating-tier indoor farms for leafy vegetables. Closest domestic competitor in controlled-environment urban farming and direct customer overlap with Singapore retailers.
- Infarm: Germany-founded modular vertical farming company that installs in-store and distribution-center farms for retailers and HORECA globally. Closest international analogue to Archisen's turnkey, B2B-focused CEA-plus-software model.
- ComCrop: Singapore urban farm using greenhouse and rooftop hydroponic systems to supply fresh produce to local retailers and restaurants. Directly comparable in geography, product mix and B2B produce distribution.
- Sustenir: Singapore-headquartered vertical farm operator producing leafy greens and strawberries for local supermarkets and HORECA. Direct competitor in the same city with the same CEA-plus-retail model as JUST PRODUCE.
Others
- FarmByte: Agritech arm of Malaysia's Johor Corporation and Archisen's joint-venture partner for the largest vertical farm in Malaysia. Closely entwined with Archisen through JV and equity investment rather than direct competitive overlap.
Broad incumbents
- AeroFarms: Established US vertical farming operator using aeroponic CEA at large scale for leafy greens. Comparable technology stack and enterprise retail customers, but materially larger and more geographically diversified than Archisen.
- Plenty: US-headquartered vertical farming company developing large-scale indoor farms with proprietary robotics and analytics. Operates in the same full-stack CEA-with-software category Archisen plays in, but at significantly larger scale and capital.
- Bowery Farming: US-based indoor vertical farming operator with its own proprietary operating system serving major US retailers. Larger, well-capitalised incumbent in the same CEA-plus-software category Archisen targets with Croptron™.
Emerging players
- CropOne Holdings: Operator of large-scale vertical farms (notably the Emirates Flight Catering facility) using a controlled-environment, technology-led model. Comparable turnkey CEA operator focused on enterprise offtake contracts.
Regional players
- Spread: Japan-based vertical farming operator with automated Techno Farm facilities producing lettuce at scale. Comparable CEA technology and Asian urban-retail customer profile, but operates primarily in Japan rather than Southeast Asia.
