Indoor Vertical Farming Turnkey Solutions with
Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA)

The type of crops that can be grown depends on the chosen technology. The SMART CROP system is suitable for the growth of lettuce, herbs, and low-height flowers.

In the Plantainer, it is most advantageous to cultivate lettuce (including heavier types such as iceberg), herbs, and flowers. It is also possible to customize the Plantainer setup for hydroponic cultivation of grass, low-height grains (such as barley), microgreens, or sprouts.

We are constantly working on implementing new cultivation recipes. If you would like to cultivate something specific, please contact our specialists. We will help you select the appropriate technology - sales@hydro-polis.com.

The estimated price of Smart Crop and Plantainer is individual for each project.

The cost of our technology depends on crop production and additional features (such as solar panels, water treatment stations, etc.).

To calculate profitability and return on investment in vertical farming and hydroponic systems, several variables need to be considered, primarily dependent on the cultivation location.

The key factors include:

- Market demand and product prices in the market, as well as the distribution model.

- Electricity rates, which are a significant component of operational expenses (OPEX).

- Labor costs.

Depending on the cultivation size, the type of crops grown, and the financing model, the payback period ranges from 2 to 6 years.

Vertical farms and hydroponic systems are products targeted towards customers who are interested in:

Large-scale plant production with controlled environment systems (from 200 m2 of cultivation area).

Cultivation in a shipping container (for customers interested in smaller hydroponic cultivation areas with modular scalability).

No agricultural background or cultivation experience is necessary to operate the farm. Training sessions are conducted during system setup, and we also provide free assistance from the Farm Supervisor.

We collaborate with banks to help customers secure financing through leasing or loans. We also keep an eye on EU grants and have experience in acquiring this type of funding.

The cost of a Grow Wizard license depends on the size of the cultivation and the number of plant species you want to cultivate. With the license, you receive automation control software and "cultivation recipes," which are algorithms that adjust cultivation parameters for optimal conditions specific to each plant.

The Smart Crop system and Plantainer consist of:

- Nursery seeding station
- Cultivation infrastructure (cultivation carts/multi-tier racks)
- HydroLED lighting system
- Full irrigation installation for cultivation
- Water purification system with nutrients
- Intelligent nutrient dosing system
- Cultivation automation with Grow Wizard software
- Working areas: disinfection zone, harvesting zone, cleaning zone, warehouses

Our engineers can also assist in adapting the project or existing infrastructure to meet the necessary requirements for the cultivation installation, including electrical, hydraulic, and energy needs.

During system setup and the initial hydroponic cultivation, we provide comprehensive training and familiarization that includes learning of system operations, software, basic cultivation practices, and the best practices developed by our technologists.

It is worth mentioning that you will have our support at every stage. We provide a Farm Supervisor for each of our clients who will provide you with both technical and practical assistance throughout your cultivation journey with Hydropolis.

Absolutely. We can include solar panels if requested.

We do ship anywhere in the world. Please send us an email to sales@hydro-polis.com to get a shipping quote.

Cultivating in a vertical hydroponic system requires 65% less fertilizer and consumes 95% less water when compared to traditional farming methods. No pesticides or herbicides are used during plant production.

According to European Union legislation, hydroponic cultivation is not considered organic farming. Organic production is only possible when plants are grown naturally in soil or water, following natural environmental conditions.

The link to the regulation is provided below Regulation (EU) 2018/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on organic production and labeling of organic products, and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007
