AgGen Technologies

From our research, we found that the local farmers are facing a lot of challenges like climate changes, lack of water for cultivation, soil infertility, and more which leads to their unstable economical status. Apart from this, the vegetables which are available to urban dwellers are either unfresh or produced with chemical fertilizers. This leads to the rise in the rate of Non-Communicable Diseases such as Cancer, Methemoglobinemia etc. introduces modern agriculture technologies to Sri Lankan farmers and increase their crop yield in order to develop their economic status regardless of climate changes and other obstacles.

According to our plan of poor farmers, before the installation they have to collect the bottles. There cultivating yields is dependent on their collection of bottles. So we thing it is posible to reduce the plastic wastage.

Great to see an Ag solution - congrats on being able to develop the technology. 1. Is it a 'plug & play' technology? Or is built installation required? 2. Who is responsible for the maintenance? Is this a service cost you provide? Or do farmers/operators need to be trained for this? 3. Do you harness sunlight or is artificial lighting used? 4. Hydroponic farming has a reputation for very high capital costs - how was your low cost solution developed? 5. What produce is grown from your solution today? What is the yield? What is the cost difference of the final produce compared to existing/non-hydroponic product on the market? 6. Have consumers responded to the hydroponic pilots? Is there opportunity for retail/grocery chain partnerships? 7. What investment and/or support are you seeking?

1. No it will need installation because every location are different so we have to check whether and sunlight. 2.if customers can maintain we can train for them. If not we are providing monthly maintenance. 3. We mostly using Sunlight. If customers place don't have proper sun light we have to use artificial sun lights. 4.we providing the system to poor farmers to wastage of plastic bottles and other things so it will reduce the plastic wastage on environment. 5.we can cultivate any plants on our system. The yields depend on the customer requirement. in urban areas the didn't get good fresh vegetables so this solution can help to them produce fresh and organic veggies. 6. Yes we have to maintain the partnership chain to the farmers because in srilanka every farmers did not get proper profits for their products. So we have to create a good profitable market for them. 7.according to our business model we need $25000 fund for our projects
