TOKYO -- The Canon group and a cross section of other Japanese companies are teaming up to grow leafy greens in factories.
About 10 investors will provide funding to Vitec Vegetable Factory, a farming arm of electronics trader Vitec Holdings. Canon Electronics, a unit of the office equipment maker, and Ryonetsu Kogyou, an electronics supplier, will each provide about 10% of the money, or around 500 million yen ($4.69 million).
