Farm setup
Before selecting an optimal farm location, we assess the following factors:
- Road connectivity: There should either be concrete or asphalt road access to the land parcel. This is a prime requirement for daily operations as well as a legal requirement of farm financing.
- Local labour availability/proximity: We specifically look for land parcels close to rural areas with a minimum population of 2000 residents. This guarantees consistent access to farm labourers while minimizing their travel distances.
- Groundwater availability: We ensure that the region has access to local water at least for the next 15-20 years, without any reliance on canals or government water sources.
- Land profile: The land should be obstruction-free up to 15-20 feet below to accommodate the farm’s 12-feet deep foundation.
- Proximity to GSS: The land must be within 4-5 km radius of GSS for solar energy needs and net-metering.
- Levelled land: Levelled land preferred for faster farm set up.
- Expansion scope: Eeki aims to establish multiple 100-acre sites. During the site search, we start by acquiring 25-40 acres, followed by acquiring the remaining 75-60 acres in stages, ensuring future expansion opportunities.
At Eeki, the farming infrastructure is built through this systematic process:
- After surveying the land, activities like land levelling, establishing an electrical connection, and mapping are carried out.
- Once the foundation is ready, the structure is constructed, followed by internal electrification, installation of growing chambers, and underground and on-ground plumbing.
- In the end, IoT devices are installed, and final electrification is conducted, marking the completion of the farm setup process.
We also conduct regular inspections and repairs to ensure long-term functionality of farming infrastructure.
