to think about the types of plants, the climate, the shade structure,
environmental conditions, labor, marketing strategies, equipment, etc.

dedicate time and effort in conducting a feasibility analysis for your
business using hydroponics.

business. As you go about selecting the place, the plant and set up the
systems, you will need to get investors and capital funding for your
business. Moreover, you must also start working on your marketing plans as
