Brings over 40 years of experience in agriculture

ORLANDO, Fla., March 9, 2021 -- Kalera (Euronext Growth Oslo ticker KAL,
Bloomberg: KSLLF), one of the fastest-growing and largest vertical farming
companies in the world and a leader in plant science for producing high-quality
produce in controlled environments, today announced that Sonny Perdue, former
United States Secretary of Agriculture and Georgia Governor, will join its Board
of Directors and has also personally invested in the company in the latest
financing round. Perdue's appointment to the Board follows the addition of Maria
Sastre to the Board of Directors, as well as Kalera's acquisition of Vindara
Inc., the first company to develop seeds specifically for use in vertical
farming environments.   

Sonny Perdue served as the United States Secretary of Agriculture from 2017 to
2021, where he initiated USDA's Ag Innovation Agenda. Prior to his time as
Secretary of Agriculture, Sonny served as Governor of Georgia from 2003 to 2011
and a Georgia State Senator from 1991-2002. As a state senator, he was often
praised for tackling issues when no one else had the courage to do so and for
his ability to grasp the nuances of complex problems. Sonny was recognized as a
leading authority on numerous issues including agriculture, transportation,
education, emerging technologies and economic development.  

"Kalera remains focused on being global leaders in all that we do, whether it be
in technology, expansion, innovation, building an executive team, or having a
world class Board of Directors," said Daniel Malechuk, CEO of Kalera. "The
addition of a global industry titan like Sonny Perdue is a testimony to this
commitment and validation of Kalera's role in defining how we feed the world for
generations to come. We are humbled that Sonny has chosen to join us as a
fully-active participant on our Board, and are excited about the unique
perspective and insight he will provide through his experience as Secretary of
Agriculture for the world's leading agriculture and food producer." 


"Kalera is leading the pack in a booming vertical farming industry," said Sonny
Perdue. "Kalera is a perfect example of the power of American innovation,
creativity, and entrepreneurship to develop different, better ways to grow and
provide food at home and around the globe. Through my travels, I've had the
opportunity to experience many intriguing ideas in food and agricultural
innovation and technology. In my opinion, Kalera captures the intersection of
technology and sustainable food production better than anything I have seen.
That is why I am excited about the potential I see in Kalera to change the way
we grow and consume our food."

This news follows the Company's recent acquisition of Vindara Inc., 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. Kalera has realized rapid expansion into a number of new markets
including Atlanta, 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.  Kalera uses a closed-loop
irrigation system which enables its plants to grow while consuming 95% less
water compared to field farming.

Kalera will call for an extraordinary general meeting for the purpose of
electing Sonny Perdue as a new member of the Board of Directors.
