SHIJA AGRO

1. Organic Greenhouse Farming: We’ll establish state-of-the-art greenhouses where we can grow a variety of crops year-round. These controlled environments allow us to optimize soil quality, nutrients, and temperature. Our produce will be free from pesticides and herbicides, meeting the growing demand for organic food. Key crops: Tomatoes, peppers, leafy greens, and herbs. 2. Hydroponic Farming: We’ll implement hydroponic systems for efficient water use and nutrient delivery. Hydroponics allows us to grow crops without soil, reducing land requirements and increasing yield. Key crops: Lettuce, basil, strawberries. 3. Value-Added Goods: SHIJA AGRO will process some of our produce into value-added products. 4. Sustainable Practices: We’ll focus on regenerative agriculture techniques, such as cover cropping and crop rotation. Composting and recycling will minimize waste. Solar panels will power our greenhouses.
