This is a Full Sun Growing System for Lettuce growing. Using Patented Hydroponic Frames.

Uses 10 Frames.

2340 Plants per table          = 23400 Plants

Harvest                            = average of 750 grams per plant

Total Harvest                  = 17550 Kilos per annum

Or                                  = 50.8 Kilos per Sq.M

450 Kilos per week

5 Kilos per box

3510 Boxes in 38 weeks

92.3 Boxes per week

Average price per Kilo   = Rs 100

After 38 weeks of growing Strawberry one can grow Lettuce for example for the rest of the 14 weeks of the year.

Production Cost for Strawberry per year = Rs 885120

Production cost of Lettuce                      = Rs 38000

Total production Cost for both                = Rs 923120

Total Income from both                           = Rs 1461208

Net Profit                                                = Rs 538088

Where in the world can one get 17.5 Tonnes of Strawberry from less than 1/10^th of an acre or Rs 538088 from an area this size? The highest average yield from one acre in Mahabaleshwar which is also called India's Mecca of Strawberry is at best 7-8 Tonnes. With our Hydroponic Tunnels you can get almost 165-170 Tonnes per acre in India. We leave you to do the Maths.
