Since then, the number of PFALs commercially producing leafy vegetables has been increasing in Asian, North American, and European countries. On the other hand, many PFAL companies and researchers have been trying to commercialize the production of medicinal plants (or herbs), fruiting vegetables (e.g., strawberries and tomatoes), small fruits (e.g., blueberries), and root vegetables (e.g., carrots, turnips, and radishes) as the next target plants for PFALs.As of 2020, the numbers of commercial PFALs successfully producing fruiting vegetables, small fruits, and root vegetables are limited.
