HYDROPONIC VEGETABLES BOT GROWTH PLAN
We shall translate your first investment in the development of 25 acres.
Introduction
Climate change, land eradication, draught and gradually increasing water shortage problems have emerged as a multi reasoning sever AGRICULTURE / Vegetables growing problem in Pakistan in recent years. Despite the agrarian country present fruiting is unable to fulfill domestic demand of people and forced to import all vegetables items against Dollars. All major Vegetables products are encountered with different growing problems in Pakistan. High production cost, low production, per harvesting losses, and profitability forced farmers to grow cash crop. Which is resulted low production, increased import bill and gap between demand and supply every year. Dua Enterprises has familiarized the modern Hydroponically Vegetables growth system. Greenhouse, Hydroponics, Aeroponics, Aquaponics and Drip irrigation systems are able to cater present production glitches and able to the tournament with future challenges with goalmouths to fulfill local market demand local industrial, processing and export of Vegetables.
The proposed Hydroponic Vegetables growth business, the plan is the pedestal on Build – Operate and Transfer(BOT) standings, the initial investment on the development of 1 hectare will reinvest in the development of others 9 hectares (25 acres) in 10 years, with the assistance of infrastructure building, management in production and sale support in the local and international market. Besides that facilities, the owner will get a 12 % profit share during the execution of the plan plus emerging profit share after 3 years on GP on regular basis. After the development of 25 acres, technology will transfer to the owner of land in 10 years. Similarly, if the landowner is required further consultation from Dua Enterprises can be signed on mutually agreed terms and conditions.
- To develop hydroponic vegetable farm is designed for all-season production, sustainable growth, and consistent profit on build-operate and transfer bases.
- Personal the initial investment or bank loan (on banking term and condition) with payback plan.
- Profit share (12 %) every year and plus emerging profit share after 3 years during execution period.
- Climate control greenhouse hydroponic production on the mutually agreed medium of growth, Aeroponics, Aquaponics growth in zone 10.
- Projected start-up costs:The first investment is PKR 57,598,001 cost split into a variable, 3 years production, and fixed cost. Climate control first greenhouse and fix a one-time cost.

- 25 acres greenhouse orchard
KEY OF BUSINESS PLAN: – Not only Agriculture but agriculture as a business.
Further few paragraphs are going to narrate agriculture business plan based on Build-operate and transfer basis with a clear objective that Agriculture/Vegetable production is not in certain “CONDITION” under calamite threats and input & output uncertainty and rejection fear, but Fruiting for business, sustainable growth and profitability. Small landowner to large landholder can be secured their Fruiting production and profit and become a model for new Agriculture Entrepreneurs for a better future.
EXECUTIVE SUMMERY
Climate Change and the introduction of new technology in agriculture have changed old traditional cultivation. The modern cultivation system is providing sustainable growth and consistent profitability. Climate control Greenhouse hydroponic vegetables production system is recognized as the most modern growing technology in the world today. This technology is to enable bulk production in all seasons. This is most economical, water-saving, pest less, and unlimited from weather threats. A vegetables will grow in hydroponically soilless system. This production system contributes a 15-25 % increase in fruiting and 35-40 % water saving as compare to the present irrigation system.
The proposed project is based on the Construction of infrastructure, Management in production, and Sale support on a BOT (build-operate-transfer) basis of a medium-large scale of 25 acres. Land transform into modern production Farm. This climate-controlled farm will construct on 25 Acres with first initial investment and transfer within 10 years to the landowner. The first initial investment will cover construction 1-hectare climate control greenhouse, plantation and 2 year operational cost, the generated revenue will reinvest in the development of others (9 hectares) 22.5 acres in 10 years and investors will get a 12 % profit every year on revenue and after 3 years will get regular agreed profit. In the proposed Climate control farm project will ensure the growth of all Vegetables grows in zone 10.
Dua Enterprises will assist in the construction of infrastructure, provide management in production, and contribute to sales support in the local market and export to GCC and Central Asia other countries. Complete devotion to the best agronomic practices is critical to the success of this project. Therefore, technical knowledge training of concern staff and experience of the entrepreneur/support people is also a key connection of success, sustainable growth, and consistent profitability.
The present economic condition and projection of economic growth up to 2.4 % of GDP in manufacturing large scale and small scales industries, dollar fluctuation impacts, and duty and taxation the ratio on imports, registration efforts on trading and services sector are becoming a barrier in business development. The Agricultural/ fruiting is the only marginal taxation FREE area of business at present. Government support programs in agriculture area, the low-interest rate on loaning facilities, present demand and supply gap and present import volume of 4 $ billion are encouraging factors, these supportive pointers are providing a chance for progressive farmers and business institutions to invest in the agriculture sector and fulfill the demand and supply gap and export their agriculture product to GCC, Russia, central Asia countries and tailor the opportunity around CPEC. China. In that favorable prospective agriculture/fruiting will be played a locomotive role in business as a profitable venture.
- Smart Agriculture:without exiting potential climate change threats and challenges of food security.
- Mission:Not only Agriculture, But Agriculture for business and profitability.
- Solution:Climate control orchard with world best techniques and technology.
- Market focus:Local and international market needs and direct for industrial, processing industry and pharmaceutical needs.
- Competitive advantage: 4 season cropping, early harvesting and early access to the market.
- Ownership: Landowner / investors/ bank (if bank loan is there)/consultant firm.
- Expected returns:Ever year 12 % profit share and after 3 years emerging revenue share.
VEGETABLES PRODUCTION
According to Agricultural Statistics, the area under cultivation of fruits in Pakistan is about 875,000 hectares. Out of which we are getting 7,200,000 tons of fresh fruits annually. Our average production is about 8.23 tons per hectare and has a 12 % share in Agriculture GDP, but according to one study fruits production in Pakistan is very low, which is very low as compared to advanced countries i.e. 20-25 Tons per hectare and only exporting 10- 20 % of its total production.
Agriculture is the second-largest sector, accounting for over 21 percent of GDP, and remains by far the largest employer, absorbing 45 percent of the country’s total labor force. Nearly 62 percent of the country’s population resides in rural areas, and is directly or indirectly linked with agriculture for their livelihood. One of the reasons of migration from rural to urban areas is the lack of employment opportunities for small farmers, since the opportunity to work on farms is diminishing due to mechanization and technological development. Non-availability of irrigation water is hindering expansion. There are a large number of other factors, such as the traditional farm management practices, non-availability of infrastructure, lack of funds, absence of marketing channels, high degree of pest and disease problems, lack of accurate information on pesticides, high cost of irrigation, shortage of labour, lack of access to institutional credit and loan, and the non-availability of inputs, which discourage production.
These rapid technological changes are affecting farm practices. In such an era, the need to help landless or small farmers is increasing. Information on the cropping system and employment opportunities need to be generated for them. A suitable option for them is growing vegetables as these are short-duration crops fetching higher returns. Expanding their cultivation can provide essential dietary nutrients at low prices and reduce unemployment, which in turn would reduce rural poverty.
Although vegetables has very important place in Pakistan diet and providing proteins, minerals, and vitamins to human body and nutrition. But despite that fact the daily intake is low, it is being about 100 GRMS as compared to the recommended consumption of about 285 GRMS person in a day.
At present vegetable are cultivated in 0.53 million ha, but it is unable to fulfill local demands and resulted in shortage, unavailability and forced to import to fulfill the gap. Industrial demand and processing industry heavily dependent on imported vegetables. Minor crops including oil seed, pulses and vegetables account for 12.4 per cent of the value-added in overall agriculture.
IS VEGETABLE CULTIVATION PROFITABLE IN PAKISTAN
Traditional farmers are making around 100000 rupees profit per acre per season and that too if you get a really good and bumper crop every time. So in 1 year you will make hardly 3 million rupees back on 10 acres of land. So it will definitely take you 3 years minimum to breakeven point.
Vegetables Market in Pakistan is expected to register a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period of (2020-2025). Pakistan has a wide range of agro-climatic conditions which is allowing the country to produce a wide variety of tropical and sub-tropical fruits and vegetables. According to FAO, vegetable production accounts for 5.4 million tons where 40% of production is only attributed to onions with 2.1 million tons of production followed by tomatoes, carrots, and turnip.
Pakistan’s exports of fruits and vegetables witnessed a modest jump of 12.5% during fiscal year 2019-20, which fetched $730 million in precious foreign exchange. According to the latest statistics available at the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS), vegetables recorded a substantial increase of 28%. Export of vegetables generated $300 million for the country.
Grabbing that opportunity, Pakistan enhanced export of kinnow, potato and onion despite the challenges of transportation and logistics, which emerged when lockdown was imposed in the country, he added. “During the peak of the global outbreak, Pakistan exported high quality mangoes to many countries around the world,” he highlighted.
FUTURE OF VEGETABLES GROWTH
- Present Gap of Demand and supply is providing a chance to produce of Vegetables.
- Increasing demand of local Processing industry.
- Increasing opportunity of export to China, GCC and central Asia.
- Dry chilli is produced in Pakistan and mainly exported to Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Canada, USA and UK. Â India is the main producer and exporter of the dried chilli in the world and the other major producers are China, Mexico, Peru, Turkey, Thailand, Indonesia and Africa mainly Ghana & Ethiopia.
- Vegetables like Brussels sprouts, broccoli, lettuce, green beans, and asparagus is growing well in our country due to ecological conditions and widely exportable products.
- Market revenue in 2023 will be 10.6 billion. Export of fruits and vegetables from Pakistan in this year is registered as 54% and 3.12% respectively. Last year the total 17,072 metric ton is exported to the world. Pakistan earned USD 4.351 million from export.
HYDROPONIC CULTIVATION FEATURES
Hydroponic tomatoes are grown in a nutrient solution rather than soil, although they are typically placed in a non-soil material that can support their roots and hold the nutrients. Hydroponically grown vegetables can be just as nutritious as those grown in soil. … Plants make their own vitamins, so vitamin levels tend to be similar whether a vegetable is grown hydroponically or in soil.
Hydroponic tomatoes are now just as tasty as tomatoes grown outside in perfect summer conditions, scientists say. … Good tomato flavor, as we’ve noted, is a complex combination of sugars, acids and gasses we experience as smell. Hydroponic plants grow 25-30% faster than traditionally grown plants because the perfect blend of nutrients is delivered directly to the root system. The plant does not need to expend energy on an extensive root system to find the food it needs, so all of its energy goes into upward leaf growth.

The main advantages of the greenhouses and hydroponic are:
- Good distribution of light inside the greenhouse. The greenhouse covers have the ability to change the direction of the sun’s rays, thus evenly distributed over the entire surface, benefiting the entire greenhouse and avoiding the sun’s rays directly to the plant.
- Energy efficiency. Takes advantage of the environmental conditions, such as optimizing the heat/cooling inside the greenhouse.
- Control of microclimate. One of the main advantages of a greenhouseis to control and establish the optimal environment for cultivation. You can adjust the temperature, humidity, lighting, etc.
- Protection against diseases, pests and other vermin. Another advantage of a greenhouseis that it is very difficult to enter as it is a closed space.
- Excellent ventilation. You can ventilate the greenhouse quickly, thanks to their zenithal or side windows.
- Optimum sealing against rain and air.
- Increased production. There are a great advantage of a greenhouse, can intensify production due to weather conditions, can accelerate the growth of the plants and also allows a greater amount of crop on the surface.
- Production off-season. The environmental control of the greenhouse can produce off-season, therefore we will have a better sale price and a continuous supply of the product.
- Production in regions with adverse weather conditions.
- Ability to grow all the year and maintain crop cycle per year and different species of plants.
- Optimizes the use of other technologies to facilitate the management of climate (heating, humidification, shade screens or saving energy, etc.)
- When Compared To Traditional Soil-Grown Crop Production, Hydroponics Has the Following Advantages: Up to 90% more efficientuse of water. Production increases 3 to
10 times in the same amount of space. Many crops can be produced as fast in a well-managed hydroponic system.
- Hydroponics growing uses mineral nutrient solutions to feed plants that are growing in water, so no soil is used in the process. Hydroponically farming profitable is the most profitable venture plants to grow and sell, no problem making money.
BUILD – OPERATE – TRANSFOR (BOT) BUSINESS PLAN
The proposed project is based on Build- Operate- Transfer basis. Project design rendering to Pakistan agriculture conditions, farmer’s knowledge, experiences, their own economic condition, bank loan facilities, inputs availability, and local and market situations.
The consultant company will assist farmer or new investors in the Construction of infrastructure, provide management in production and Sale support in local and international markets. Investor Land transform into modern production orchard within 10 years.
The investor facilitate with initial investment for construction of Climate control first structure on 500 x 157 FT, plantation cost, operation cost at least 3years either from his/her own source or bank loan equalization of 1-hectare construction and 3 years operation facilitation.
The consultant company will reinvest first greenhouse revenue in the construction of other 22.5 Acres. As per the below plan in 10 years
The investor will get his f 12 % profit on revenue every year, and then after 3 years investor will get mutually agreed profit in the remaining 8 years.
The proposed plan is Climate control Orchard, size is 25 Acres or 118 089,000 SQFT with ideal Dimension of 1043.55 x 1043.55 FT. Suggested Greenhouse size is 500 x 157, 18 FT air passage between every two structures, 60 FT road passage, construction of the machine room, storeroom, water pound, etc. Total of 10 greenhouse 500 x 157 FT will construct on 25 acres.
Farm management, making and implementing of the decisions involved in organizing and operating a farm for maximum production and profit. Farm management draws on agricultural economics for information on prices, markets, agricultural policy, and economic institutions such as leasing and credit. State agriculture policies and their impacts on agriculture. It also draws attention on plants health, environmental impact and ecological sciences and information.
The financial Management, Finance is tools to analyze, plan, and control farm business include financial statements, profit and loss statements, and cash-flow statements. A maintaining of financial statement communicates the amount of money invested in farm assets, outstanding debts, and the owner’s equity in the business, and the degree to which the farm is liquid and solvent. Liquidity is the able to meet financial obligations on time, whereas solvency is the ability to pay all debts (If bank loan in involved) if the business is forced to discontinue. The regular preparation of profit and loss statement shows sources and amounts of income and operating expenses. Comparison of profit and loss statements over a period of years will articulates which resources have been most profitable and whether there has been an advance or decline in net income. Similarly cash-flow statement shows the sources and uses of funds at given periods during the year. Such a statement provides a useful check on the accuracy of the farm’s other business records.
MARKETING STRATEGY, The marketing strategy is formed on three main points, specialization or diversify depending on conditions and scrutinized market place for agricultural commodities with less risk. By reviewing market price mechanism demand and supply situation to avoid market price shocks.

Marketing & SALES PLAN
The sales plan is based on Vertical diversification marketing strategy, production, harvesting by processing, packing, economical Transportation and retail selling. Identification of true and potential market, Price Mechanism, and PYO plan with direct methods most importantly Customer pick-up fruit from Orchard. Online/social media market strategy is the key tool for marketing.
- Key messages: PEST-LESS and CHEMICAL-FREE
- Marketing /salesis the Identification of true/potential market and buyers.
- Direct farmer to buyer, mean establish own outlet or arrange an online sale, provide a chance to reduce marketing cost, cater to consumer desire to buy (and willingness to perhaps pay a premium for) riper, fresher, higher-quality fruits.
- Direct sales mechanism supermarket prices and to avoid paying for the services of wholesalers and retailers. Bypassing intermediaries increase profitability.
- Profit depends on many things mainly the Pricing formula set on the cost of production, return on land, labor, capital, and managerial effort. Price is set based on the income needed to cover fixed and variable costs and provide a profit.
- Marketing Data Collection.
- By treating the desired profit level as a fixed cost, the seller can determine the volume of sales needed to reach a profit goal. For example, if a profit of PKR100 per week is desired with a 40 percent margin between cost and price, the formula to use is: Breakeven point = fixed costs and desired profit ÷ contribution-to-overhead = (PKR 300 + PKR100) ÷ 40 cents = PKR1,000 sales Selling price (SP) = cost of item + desired markup SP = .80 + (.80 x .40) SP = .80 + .3200 SP = PKR1.12 A markup is calculated as a percent of cost, and margin is calculated as a percent of the selling price.
- Sales can be determined as a percentage of past sales, of estimated future sales, or a combination of the two. Past sales usually are on the conservative side, and estimated future sales figures tend to be optimistic. The combination approach provides a more realistic method during periods of changing economic conditions.
- Break-even analysis is a useful tool for coping with this type of problem. Break-even analysis can determine the right price with respect to a given volume or the necessary volume with respect to a given price. To understand break-even analysis, it is necessary to understand fixed and variable costs. Fixed costs exist whether or not the farmer sells any merchandise. These obligations must be met regardless of sales volume. Taxes, insurance, salary, interest, basic utility costs, advertising, and depreciation are all fixed costs. Variable costs are those that are correlated with the level of production and associated sales volume (fertilizer, Agriculture-chemicals, etc.), so higher production results in higher variable costs.
- Development plan is based on reinvestment to other acres within 10 years. So saving will play a vital role in development.
FINANCIAL PLAN
Financial plans are used to estimate capital needs, to project future financial circumstances, and to make decisions about financial actions needed to carry out a business plan. Financial plans are comprised of three parts — projected balance sheets, projected income statements, and projected cash flow statements. A balance sheet shows the operation’s assets and liabilities at a point in time. An income statement is used to evaluate an operation’s profit level for a given time period. A cash flow statement is a summary of cash inflows and outflows for a given time period and is used to project amounts and timings of borrowing and loan payments. Projected financial statements is being used as an integral part of contingency plans to address possible problems. An established management plan of management controls and contingency plans management control is the process of assuring that the organization’s mission and objectives are accomplished effectively and efficiently. Financial management plans are used for planning, organizing, directing, coordinating, and controlling the operation in order to achieve the mission and objectives. Controlling involves monitoring the business plan to ensure that it is carried out properly. The management plan developed with the idea that it is the driving force to see that the other areas of the business development plan are completed. The management system should provide information useful in monitoring the marketing, production, and finance areas.
- Projected start-up costs:The first investment is PKR 57,598,001 cost split into a variable, 3 years production, and fixed cost. Climate control first greenhouse and fix a one-time cost.

Although vegetables are
a very important in Pakistan diet providing proteins, minerals and vitamins required for
human nutrition, the daily per capita intake is low, being about 100 grams compared to
the recommended consumption of about 285 grams.
At present the total cropped area of the country is 22.94 million ha. Out of this
55% is under food crops, 19% under cash crops and 6% under pulses. Vegetables
constitute an integral component of the cropping pattern but the increasing pressure on
food and cash crops has limited the area under vegetables to about 0.53 million ha, which
is 2.3% of the total cropped area. They fit well in most farming systems due to shorter
maturity period. However, in the past, development efforts in agriculture sector were
primarily focused on production and development of cereal crops; in spite of the fact the
vegetables provide maximum output per unit area.
