Input: Sharp Corp. is banking on fresh strawberries to help rebuild the fortunes of the struggling electronics giant. 
  
 Sharp is planning to start cultivating strawberries on a factory scale basis in the United Arab Emirates in fiscal 2015, by using its technology to artificially control light, temperature and humidity. 
  
 The company said Sept. 20 that lab tests got under way in July to cultivate strawberries at a facility within the Sharp Middle East Free Zone Establishment, its subsidiary in Dubai. 
  
 It hopes the project will grow into a new line of business that can help rebuild the company. 
  
 With a high degree of sweetness, Japanese-grown strawberries are popular with the wealthy in the Middle East, a region that is unfit for farming because it is covered by desert. 
  
 But strawberry shipments from Japan to the Middle East have been a big hurdle due to the distance and ease with which the fruit can spoil. 
  
 Sharp decided to cultivate strawberries in a controlled environment in Dubai using a light-emitting diode light source to facilitate photosynthesis and Plasmacluster technology for managing air quality and other techniques to monitor room temperature and humidity. 
  
 This approach will allow the company to gather data on cultivation techniques to achieve stable production of strawberries. 
  
 The project uses seedlings brought from Japan. 
  
 The company expects to manage unmanned factories in Dubai through remote control from Japan. 
  
 "If we can generate results in cultivating strawberries, a plant that is difficult to grow, we can apply the technology to other farm products," a senior Sharp official said. 
  
 Sharp has been involved in growing strawberries on a trial basis since 2009. 
  
 The company said the quality of such strawberries is comparable to those circulated in the Japanese market. ||||| (Reuters) - Japan's Sharp Corp (6753.T) plans to issue up to 450 million new shares in a public offering as part of a plan to raise $1.7 billion that the company's board will approve this week, two people with knowledge of the discussions said on Tuesday. 
  
 The cash injection would further stabilize finances at the company, which a year ago averted failure through a bank bailout. 
  
 Investors in the Osaka-based maker of display panels for Apple Inc's (AAPL.O) iPhone and iPad worry however, that price-sapping competition from LCD screen makers in China and elsewhere will could still derail Sharp's turnaround. 
  
 The latest capital raising will include about 150 billion yen ($1.52 billion) through a public share offering and about 20 billion yen from a third-party allotment. The third-party share placement would be made to companies with deep ties to Sharp, including Lixil Group (5938.T), Makita Corp (6586.T) and Denso Corp (6902.T), according to the sources, who spoke on condition they were not identified. 
  
 In addition to using the funds to invest in its business, Sharp faces a shortfall in its corporate pension plan, part of which it may need to cover in the near term. Total unfunded liabilities were 120 billion yen at the end of March, Sharp has said. 
  
 Sharp officials did not comment on the plan to raise cash. 
  
 The company will probably report an operating profit of about 30 billion yen for the six month ending September 30, double what it earlier forecast, after a 168 billion yen loss a year earlier, the Nikkei business daily reported, without saying where it obtained the information. 
  
 Sharp last year posted a 545 billion yen net loss, pushing its capital below 6 percent of equity, far short of the 20 percent ratio widely seen as a financial-stability threshold for manufacturers.

Output:
Remember Sharp? Perhaps you owned one of the Japanese company's TVs many years ago. Perhaps you still do—though that's less likely, given, as Reuters reports, the company had to get bailed out by banks last year after posting a $5.5 billion loss. So to address its flagging fortunes, Sharp is planning to start selling a surprising new product: strawberries. Known for being extra sweet, strawberries grown in Japan are a popular snack amongst the Middle Eastern elite, reports the Asahi Shimbun. But shipping the fruit there is a pain, because it's a long way to travel and the strawberries spoil easily. So Sharp is building an indoors facility in Dubai where it can cultivate strawberries from Japanese seeds, utilizing a high-tech set-up to regulate light, temperature, and air quality. The factories will be unmanned, with Sharp controlling the operation remotely from Japan. The company is now trialing the idea in a test facility, with the aim of growing 3,000 strawberries a month, reports the BBC. If that works, it will scale up to a factory operation in 2015. "If we can generate results in cultivating strawberries, a plant that is difficult to grow, we can apply the technology to other farm products," says a company official.
