Major Problem faced in Agriculture
In Traditional Agriculture which we (my family) were practicing
from 10 years has shown various problem:
• Farmers are not able to repay the loan or they are left with no option than suicide.
• Too much loss of water and damage to the soil and vegetation around us because traditional
  farms need huge space.
• Apart from these , the climate change, the less supply of required water either through
  irrigation or by natural means harms the crop.
• An open environment which can not be predicted and price of manure and other factors like
  transportation and land hinders the production.
• No proper unity and guidance and lack of proper resources and market factor plays a very
  harsh role in profit ratio and to earn normal earning.
• The price of the crop increases whenever the supply becomes less,
  which is profitable in modern scenario of lockdown etc.
• Moreover the supply becomes very less due transportation problem.
• We have limited lands on which farming is possible and lot of the
  land is already infertile to cultivate.
• Infact Rajasthan also has a limited supply of water which makes it
  even more difficult to grow easily in bulk.
• Heavy expenses occur which makes it uneasy to grow and loan puts
  the farmer in more tension and less quality.
OUR VISION                                                 OUR
SOLUTION

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Covering a single city                           Covering multiple cities
•   Letcetra Agritech , Sattari district Goa     • Barton Breeze, Gurgoan (6 cities)
•   Herbivore Farms, Mumbai                      • Terra Farms, Manori
•   Triton Foodworks, Delhi
•   Nature’s Miracle, Noida
•   Shri Ram Gopal’s Future Farms, Chennai
•   Acqua Farms, Chennai
Them :                                           Us:
•   They don’t have large number of customers.   • We have both companies and market as
•   Most have 1 single farm.                       customers.
•   Barton breeze has 1 farm in each city.       • We will have a chain of atleast 10 farms per city.
•   Their total production is 100ton approx.     • Our production 400 tonnes approx.
What makes us different!
• Unlike the other companies like :
• HERBIVORE FARMS, Mumbai only has 2 farmers (owners themselves) Whereas Oroland will
  have it’s own team of around 8-10 farmers, hence thrice the productivity. And acc. To the
  statement given by them to the media they do not wish to expand themselves outside
  Mumbai.
• Triton Foodworks, Delhi only has 1 bigha i.e. 0.367 acre, whereas Oroland has 60 bigha i.e 20
  arces.
• Nature’s Miracle, Delhi produces very little products and has a very tough competition with
  Triton Foodworks.
• Shri Ram Gopal’s Future Farms, Chennai is a Poly-house farming company, unlike Oroland
  which will be a Vertical Farming company.
• Aqua farms, Chennai face the same problem as Nature’s miracle, i.e getting a tough
  competition from Shri Ram Gopal’s future farms in Chennai.
Our Benefit
• We are might be starting late then others but they all are busy
  competing with each other or not competing at all.
• All of them are either in the northern or in the southern part of India,
  whole Western, middle, and eastern area has been forgotten, which
  gives us a wonderful opportunity to strike at it, and these all
  companies provides us the opportunity to learn from their mistakes in
  implementation of farms which will be helpful for us in future.
                            Past Decade Revenue
The average revenue/year was ₹30,00,000 from our traditional
farming.

                               REVENUE MODEL
Cost structure for 1 farm (excluding land price):          Revenue Generated by 1 farm:
•   Building cost of farm - ₹40,00,000 approx.             • Total production per year = 34000 kg
•   1 Farmer required, salary :₹10,000/month.              • Total income = 34000 * 30 ( average price of
•   Fertilizer ,water supply and seeds : ₹ 2 lac yearly.     veggies) = ₹ 10,20,000 lac.
•   Miscellaneous : ₹1 lac yearly.
                                                           • Hence, for 3 farms = ₹35,00,000/ annum.
Total = ₹ 45 lac for the whole year production

                            RISK ANALYSIS
Without risk we cannot reach higher the challenges which are most commonly faced in the
vertical farming are
• TEMPERATURE and HUMIDITY : figuring out how much cooling, Dehumidification and heating is
  required.
• Lights, motors, pumps are the heat producers.
• Moisture is to be added via Evapotranspiration , it is greater when plants become mature and do
  not stop unless we provide cold air and again reheat it optimally.
• We can easily deal with these with advance technologies and various out ways amd experience
  of farming methods.
• The project has a negligible risk as because there is no chanve of crops getting destroyed or
  damaged as well as the infrastructure will also have no depreciation till 15 years.
• The soil quality will be great and Fertility will increase with the help of manure and fertilisers.
• The only risk involved is the delay in the time of transportation which will be managed by the
   team involved.
