ESTABLISHED HYDROPONIC FARMING INFRASTRUCTURE

Previously operated successfully as a commercial hydroponic farming operation, the property produced flourishing tomato crops in its established growing tunnels.

The existing infrastructure provides an incoming purchaser with the opportunity to recommence hydroponic production without having to start completely from scratch.

Existing hydroponic infrastructure includes:

- 8 hydroponic growing tunnels

- 11 x 5,000-litre water storage tanks

- 1 x 10,000-litre water storage tank

- Computerised irrigation system

- Dedicated fertigation room

- Packing and sorting room

- Staff accommodation

- Three-phase electricity

- Existing agricultural infrastructure

The owners estimate that an investment in the region of R100,000R200,000 could potentially be required to recommence the hydroponic operation, depending on the condition of the existing equipment and the purchaser''s intended scale of production.

A unique handover opportunity

An exceptional added benefit is that the current owners are prepared to assist and train the new purchaser in restarting the hydroponic operation.

This can include practical guidance on:

- Hydroponic growing methods

- Preparation and mixing of nutrient solutions

- Irrigation and fertigation

- Use of the growing tunnels

- Planting procedures

- Crop timing

- Tomato production

- General operation and management of the system

This provides a valuable opportunity for a purchaser who may be interested in entering hydroponic farming but does not have previous practical experience.
