One of the most important production units on the farm is the germination and seedling nursery. The purpose is the production and growth of healthy seedlings. Which can then be transplanted in the greenhouses.

In a well managed and well operated nursery, germination rates and seedlings have better survival rates than seeds sown directly in the soil.

The nursery is now operating at full capacity. Producing hundreds of thousands of healthy seedlings per month of a wide range of vegetables.  The seedlings are used first and foremost for our own on-farm transplanting, thus ensuring consistent supply of high yielding high quality produce. Additional seedlings are produced and sold to other growers and supplied to out-grower farmers and NGOs as part of our CSR programs.
