According to a recently filed lawsuit, AppHarvest, a Kentucky-based sustainable food company that operates greenhouses to produce chemical-free, non-GMO fruits and vegetables, failed to disclose to investors that: (1) it lacked sufficient training for its recently expanded labor force; (2) as a result, the Company could not produce Grade No. 1 tomatoes consistently.

On August 11, 2021, AppHarvest announced its second quarter financial results, reporting a $32 million net loss. The Company also lowered its full-year sales guidance to a range of $7 million to $9 million, from a previous range of $20 million to $25 million. The Company attributed the lower than expected results to "operational headwinds with the full ramp up to full production at the company's first CEA facility, including labor and productivity challenges related to the training and development of the new workforce and historically low market prices for tomatoes."

On this news, the AppHarvest shares fell $3.46 - or 29% - to close at $8.51 per share on August 11, 2021.
