The new facility will provide fresh, hydroponically-grown produce to the western
Midwest.

ORLANDO, Fla., March 15, 2021 -- Kalera (Euronext Growth Oslo ticker KAL,
Bloomberg: KSLLF), one of the fastest-growing US vertical farming companies in
the world and a leader in plant science for producing high-quality produce in
controlled environments, today announced the purchase of a facility in St. Paul,
Minnesota which they will convert to a vertical farming facility. Kalera's
Minnesota location is the eighth facility it has announced, making it one of the
fastest growing vertical farming companies in the United States. This
announcement comes on the heels of the news of Kalera's appointment of Sonny
Perdue, former Secretary of Agriculture and Maria Sastre to the Board of
Directors, as well as its acquisition of Vindara, the first company to develop
seeds specifically designed for use in vertical indoor farm environments as well
as other controlled environment agriculture (CEA) farming methods.

With millions of heads of lettuce to be grown per year, Kalera's St. Paul
facility will provide a source of fresh, non-GMO, clean, living lettuces and
microgreens to retailers, restaurants and other customers. Kalera's location in
the heart of the city will shorten travel time for greens from days to mere
hours, preserving nutrients, freshness, and flavor. The facility will also
generate approximately 70 jobs upon opening. 

"I'm proud to be welcoming Kalera to St. Paul and the W. 7th neighborhood," said
City Councilmember Rebecca Noecker, who represents St. Paul's Ward 2. "The
facility is not only bringing millions of dollars in investment into the
community but is also providing jobs and importantly, increasing access to
fresh, non-GMO, clean, locally grown produce."

Kalera currently operates two growing facilities in Orlando and last week
started operations in its newest and largest facility to date in Atlanta and is
building facilities in Houston, Denver, Columbus, Seattle, and Hawaii. Kalera is
the only controlled environment agriculture company with coast-to-coast
facilities being constructed, offering grocers, restaurants, theme parks,
airports and other businesses nationwide reliable access to locally grown clean,
safe, nutritious, price-stable, long-lasting greens. Once all of these farms are
operational, the total projected yield is several tens of millions of heads of
lettuce per year, or the equivalent of over 1,000 acres of traditional field
farms. Kalera uses a closed-loop irrigation system which enables its plants to
grow while consuming 95% less water compared to field farming.

"Minnesotans are all too familiar with the limitations of a challenging
climate," said Daniel Malechuk, Kalera CEO. "They also take great pride in local
accomplishments, so we are extremely excited to facilitate this opportunity for
Minnesotans to have fresh, high quality produce year-round, grown by the locals
for the locals." 

Final project commitments, including jobs and capital investment, are contingent
on final approval of state incentives.
