Economics & Payback
Why 500 kg/day is the Sweet Spot
- Justifies in-house Phase-1/2 compost — saves 15–25% margin vs outsourced compost
- Workforce of 22–28 manageable by a single production manager + farm supervisor
- Daily harvest large enough for direct mandi/HORECA contracts (no aggregator margin loss)
- Modular: rooms can be brought online in waves so cash flow ramps before full debt service
- Bank-financeable at 65–70% LTV with the bankable DPR we provide
