Hydroponic farm and polyhouse feasibility checklist

20 questions to answer before you build, from people who run commercial hydroponic farms in India. Free to download.

Most hydroponic farms and polyhouses that struggle in India don't fail on technology. They fail because a basic question went unanswered before construction: who buys the produce, whether the water is usable, what happens in a power cut. This checklist puts those questions in order, so you can work through them before you spend serious money.

A sample

  1. 1

    Who will buy your produce every week, at what price and in what pack?

    Selling is harder than growing. A greenhouse full of produce and no orders is the most common failure we see.

  2. 2

    Is that a premium channel such as retail, HoReCa or quick-commerce, rather than the mandi?

    Protected cultivation costs more than open-field farming, so it rarely pays at mandi prices.
