Are Container Farms Profitable

Are Container Farms Profitable? Yes, one the biggest advantages of grow container farms is their portability and set up. Our containers can be set up anywhere that there is power. They are also designed to run from generators in locations that does not have access to the power grid.

How do container farms work

The grow container farms works by means of a hardware technology that generates a personalized growth of the plants inside. Each farm is self contained,

Container Farm Yield

Each 12-meter container can produce three to five acres of farmland per year. Containers can grow plants twice as fast as a conventional farm and with 97% less water. The energy comes from LED lamps that give plants the wavelengths they need to grow give them their maximum qualities in appearance and taste. Chlorophyll – the molecule responsible for photosynthesis in plants – absorbs red and blue light, so farms tend to look pink or purple. Container farms use sensors to control the way plants are growing, and thus be able to give plants the precise nutrients they need for a higher container farm yield.

Where can you install a container farm

Wherever you can connect to a power grid, a container can be installed. Once operational it will quickly be bringing a harvest to communities that historically had to import their food. Container farms over come obstacles due to geography, weather, climate, soil or light. Once a farm is setup and planted its first harvest can take place about four weeks later. So are container farms profitable, yes .

In this way, a company could place a farm in the middle of Alaska, where a bag of lettuce can cost almost six dollars. Then 4 weeks later they sell it at a normal price. There are already containers in operation all over the USA and the world.
