What is the cost of starting a hydroponic farm with 200 holes?

The initial cost of setting up a hydroponic system with 200 holes can range from Rp 1,000,000 to Rp 2,000,000, depending on the system's complexity. However, the speaker focuses on the production cost rather than the initial setup cost.

What are the main production costs in hydroponic lettuce farming?

The main production costs include the AB mix nutrient solution (Rp 50,000 for 2.5 liters), Rockwool for the growth medium (Rp 20,000 for 200 holes), and lettuce seeds (Rp 20,000 for 200 seeds). The total production cost for 200 plants is around Rp 90,000.

How much AB mix is needed for 200 hydroponic lettuce plants?

For 200 hydroponic lettuce plants, about 2.5 liters of AB mix is required. It’s essential to maintain the nutrient solution’s concentration and avoid leakage or contamination from rain, which could dilute the solution.

What is Rockwool, and how much is needed for 200 hydroponic holes?

Rockwool is a popular growth medium used in hydroponics to support plant roots. For 200 hydroponic holes, you will need ¼ of a standard Rockwool slab, which costs around Rp 20,000.

How much does it cost to buy seeds for 200 lettuce plants?

For 200 lettuce plants, you will need approximately one-fourth of a pack of lettuce seeds, which costs about Rp 20,000. Each pack contains 900 seeds, but only 200 are needed for this setup.

What is the selling price for hydroponic lettuce, and where can it be sold?

Hydroponic lettuce can be sold at various prices depending on the market. The minimum selling price is Rp 4,000 per plant when selling to local residents. Selling to supermarkets or restaurants can fetch up to Rp 7,000 to Rp 8,000 per plant.

What is the potential profit from selling 200 hydroponic lettuce plants?

Selling 200 hydroponic lettuce plants at a minimum price of Rp 4,000 each would generate Rp 600,000 in revenue. After subtracting the production cost of around Rp 90,000, the profit would be approximately Rp 500,000.

Is it difficult to sell hydroponic lettuce?
