The first step is to contact us for a free consultation. Our experts will assess your land, climate conditions, water availability, and market potential to recommend the most suitable farming approach. We'll guide you through the entire process from conceptualization to implementation and beyond.

The minimum economically viable size depends on your goals, crop choice, and market conditions. Generally, projects can start from as small as 500 square meters for hobby farming, while commercial ventures are more viable starting from 1,000 square meters (quarter acre) upward. For optimal economic returns, most commercial projects range from 4,000 to 10,000 square meters (1-2.5 acres).

Important factors include:- Land availability and topography- Water quality and availability- Local climate conditions- Electricity access- Market demand for crops- Investment capacity- Long-term goals and scale of operation- Government policies and subsidy availability Our team conducts a thorough assessment of these factors during the consultation phase.

The timeline varies based on project size, complexity, and local conditions.Typically:- Small projects (500-1,000 sq.m): 1-2 months- Medium projects (1,000-5,000 sq.m): 2-4 months- Large projects (5,000+ sq.m): 4-6 months These timelines include structure building, system installation, and testing, but may vary based on weather conditions and material availability.

No, prior experience is not necessary. Our comprehensive support system includes training, ongoing guidance, and management services that help even first-time farmers succeed. We provide detailed protocols and regular support to ensure your farming venture thrives.

We offer a comprehensive range of structures:
‍
- Fan & Pad Greenhouse
- Polycarbonate Greenhouse
- Naturally Ventilated Greenhouse
- Double Vent Greenhouse
- Low Cost Polyhouse
- Dome Shape Net House
- Flat Type Net House
- Wire Rope Nethouse
- Nursery Structure
- Walk-In Tunnel House
- Hoop House
- Triple Layer Nursery Structure
- Anti Hail Net House
‍
Each structure has specific advantages for different climates, crops, and budget considerations.

- The lifespan varies by structure type and maintenance:
- Structure frame (galvanized steel): 15-25 years
- Polyethylene covering: 3-5 years
- Polycarbonate covering: 10-15 years
- Glass covering: 25+ years
- Shade nets: 5-7 years
‍
Regular maintenance can extend these lifespans considerably. We provide maintenance guidelines and services to ensure maximum durability.

The right structure depends on several factors:
- Climate conditions of your region
- Types of crops you plan to grow
- Your budget
- Available land area
- Long-term objectives
‍
For example, Fan & Pad Greenhouses are ideal for hot regions and high-value crops, while Naturally Ventilated Greenhouses are more cost-effective for moderate climates. During consultation, our experts analyze these factors to recommend the most suitable structure.

Yes, our structures are engineered to withstand local weather conditions. We design according to wind load, snow load (where applicable), and rain intensity factors specific to your region. For areas with extreme weather, we implement additional reinforcements and may recommend specific structure types like Anti Hail Net Houses for hail-prone regions or stronger frames for high-wind areas.

"Polyhouse" and "greenhouse" are often used interchangeably, but technically, a polyhouse refers specifically to a greenhouse covered with polyethylene film. A greenhouse is the broader term for any structure with transparent walls and roof that allows sunlight in while maintaining a controlled environment. At Keisha Greens, our structures include both polyhouses and greenhouses with various covering materials including polyethylene, polycarbonate, and glass, depending on specific requirements.

A Cluster Greenhouse Project involves multiple greenhouses located close to each other with a centralized automation and climate control system. These projects offer advantages like efficient resource sharing, diversification of crops, reduced operational costs, and increased production capacity. They're particularly beneficial for export-oriented operations and can be operated by multiple farmers collaboratively or by a single entity.

Soilless farming is a modern cultivation method where plants grow without traditional soil, instead using alternative growing media and nutrient-rich water solutions. This approach provides precise control over plant nutrition, eliminates soil-borne diseases, optimizes water usage, and often yields faster growth and higher productivity. Keisha Greens specializes in several soilless cultivation methods including cocopeat-based systems and hydroponics.

Cocopeat (also called coco coir) is a natural growing medium made from coconut husk fibers. It's widely used in modern agriculture because it:
- Has excellent water retention capacity (holds 8-10 times its weight in water)
- Provides good aeration for root development
- Is pH neutral and suitable for most plants
- Is renewable and environmentally friendly
- Reduces the risk of soil-borne diseases
- Has natural antifungal properties

These characteristics make it an ideal growing medium for controlled environment agriculture.

We offer three main cocopeat cultivation methods:
‍
- Through Beds: Continuous growing areas filled with cocopeat, ideal for high-density planting and crops with extensive root systems
- Grow Slabs: Pre-formed compressed cocopeat slabs, perfect for commercial operations and space-efficient setups
- Grow Bags: Portable fabric containers filled with cocopeat, offering flexibility and ease of management
‍
Each method has specific advantages depending on the crops, scale of operation, and management preferences.

Nutrient management in cocopeat systems involves:
‍
- Pre-treating cocopeat to remove excess salts and balance cation exchange
- Using specialized hydroponic nutrient solutions formulated for cocopeat
- Maintaining optimal pH levels (typically 5.5-6.5) and EC (electrical conductivity) according to crop requirements
- Implementing precise irrigation and fertigation schedules
- Adjusting nutrient ratios based on plant growth stages
- Regular monitoring of runoff pH and EC to ensure proper nutrient uptake

Our agronomy team provides complete guidance on nutrient management specific to your crops and system.

A wide range of crops thrive in cocopeat systems, including:
‍
- Vegetables: Tomatoes, cucumbers, colored bell peppers, lettuce, broccoli, zucchini
- Fruits: Strawberries, melons, blueberries
- Flowers: Roses, gerbera, carnations, orchids
- Herbs: Basil, mint, parsley, cilantro
‍
Cocopeat is particularly well-suited for crops that benefit from excellent drainage combined with good water retention.

The initial setup cost for cocopeat systems is typically higher than traditional soil farming, which are mostly covered by subsidies. However, this investment is often recovered through:
‍
- Higher yields (30-50% more than soil)
- Better quality produce commanding premium prices
- Lower water consumption (up to 80% reduction)
- Reduced pesticide and fertilizer usage
- Year-round production capabilities
- Lower labor costs for weeding and pest management

Our financial analysis during consultation helps determine the return on investment period for your specific project.
