Cultivation under Polyhouse:
I'm planning to procure 1 acre of land near to chennai (50-80 kms) and start polyhouse cultivation to produce crops like capsicum . And, sell the produce in chennai.
Has anyone here cultivating high value crops under polyhouse.
a)Is 1 acre is sufficient to start with?
b)What is the amount of investment required for the setup?
c)what are the crops currently grown?
d)What could be approx annual yield ,annual sales value and return on investment? Just an approx figure will help.
e)what are the risks involved? known riks,pls.
f) Other than 25% subsidy from central gov, is the TN state gov providing any subsidy?
g) what are the requirements on labour , power and water. Considering that TN is facing acute power shortage, what could be the alternative arrangements that can be thought of for power . And ,will it be still viable?
h) Does cut flowers like Rose,Gerbera have a steady domestic buyer market (not considering the overseas ) ?
Rather than from consultants, I'm eagerly expecting replies from farmers/enterpreneurs who had real experience and want to share.
Kindly acknowledge.
