Knowledge · Projects · Hydroponic Strawberry
A premium hydroponic farming initiative under Harit Kranti 2.0. It gives farmers and entrepreneurs a predictable income while degraded soils recover. Launched on 1 January 2026 with a limited number of pilot farms.
Why this initiative
Under Harit Kranti 2.0, BhoomiSeva introduces soil-less farming as a strategic alternative, so farmers and entrepreneurs can earn sustainably while soil recovers.
Decades of excessive chemical use have left Indian soils under severe stress.
Soil regeneration is essential, and the Shri Mantra Protocol does it season by season.
A hydroponic farm earns from its first season, without depending on the soil below it.
Why Japanese strawberry
Japanese strawberries are known worldwide for their sweetness, uniform quality and premium demand, and they perform exceptionally well in controlled hydroponic conditions.
| Strawberry type | Brix value (sweetness) |
|---|---|
| Japanese strawberry | more than 20 |
| Indian strawberry | 8 to 9 |
A higher Brix value means richer sweetness, premium pricing, steady consumer demand and a stronger buyback assurance.
Multilayer hydroponic farming
| Per pilot farm | Compared with conventional farming |
|---|---|
| Land required | 1 acre |
| Plants | 5 times as many |
| Yield per plant | 20% more |
| Buyback price | Super premium, for the higher Brix value |
| Gross revenue | 5 times, from the multiple layers |
| Payback period | about 18 months |
Supported under the Agriculture Infrastructure Fund (AIF) scheme, with subsidy potential of up to ₹1 crore. Figures are indicative and depend on operational discipline. They are projections, not guaranteed returns.
How each farm is run
Each acre runs under its own company, within BhoomiAahar.
The entrepreneur invests in the farm and its set-up.
The SPV leases one acre. The landowner earns a fixed rent plus a share of revenue or profit.
BhoomiSeva runs technology, operations and quality control, and buys back the whole harvest, as custodian, not trader.
