Hydroponics is the production of vegetables in state-of-the-art, temperature-controlled, multi-span tunnels. The structures being used are richelle multi-spans, which come complete with computer temperature sensors, automatic opening and closing vents, automatic misting units and temperature controlled fans. The advantages of growing in high-tech tunnels are:
Faster, longer growth
- Harvest time reduced, and by doing so:
- Decrease loss in weight gain
- Eliminate weight loss from shock
- Allow greater yield per plant
- Provide optimum temperature for plant
- growth
The Jala Peo project strategy is to profitably and efficiently utilize present and future agricultural technology in the production of vegetables. The project developing a profitable vegetable farm with all the necessary custom-innovated equipment, will gain a significant industry advantage.
Jala Peo concentrates on wholesale live vegetable markets that sell hydroponic produce, fresh farmers’ markets, and export to neighbouring states. The 6 main crops grown are:
