Earn billions from sky vegetable garden

After initial trials, the hydroponic vegetable growing model is being widely applied by gardeners and farms in Da Lat city (Lam Dong) and neighboring areas. Most hydroponic vegetable growing models are applied according to foreign technology such as Israel, Thailand, EU technology... with quite high investment costs but people still earn billions of dong each year.

Workers place pots of baby lettuce into hydroponic tubes containing nutrient water that flows continuously day and night.

This model is likened to a sky garden because the vegetables are raised on a rack about 1m above the ground and absorb nutrients through the water flowing continuously in hydroponic pipes. Most of the hydroponic vegetables are lettuce or some short-term leafy vegetables. Not only does it have the advantage of providing clean and safe products, this vegetable growing model also ensures the health of the vegetable growers and contributes to protecting the natural environment, thereby becoming a reputable source of clean vegetables for the domestic and foreign markets.

The hydroponic system is raised about 1 meter above the ground, looking like vegetable gardens in the air.

Hydroponic vegetable products are being supplied by contract farms to large supermarkets, clean vegetable stores and restaurant and hotel chains nationwide. Or targeting high-end customers, with an average price of 35,000 - 45,000 VND/kg.

According to the Department of Cultivation and Plant Protection of Lam Dong province, the advantage of this model is that it is not only safe for consumers' health but also ensures the ecological environment.

Lettuce grown using hydroponics can be harvested after 25 days of planting; each year, the model can yield 13 harvests.
