Tripura is adopting hydroponic gardening on a commercial scale to give farmers access to a more profitable and sustainable agricultural method. Larger installations of more than 500 square meters, which correspond with national standards for hydroponic farming, are replacing the state’s smaller portable hydroponic systems. An major project under this plan is a 560-square-meter hydroponic unit for growing products that are in great demand, like marigolds, lettuce, coriander, and strawberries.
The state government is supporting the initiative, which calls for an initial investment of Rs. 55 lakh. In a few years, enormous profits are anticipated despite the significant setup costs. “In the past, Tripura’s hydroponic systems were incredibly portable and tiny. According to Rajib Ghosh, deputy director of the Horticulture Research Center, such larger setups with a minimum space of 500 square meters will guarantee better commercial exposure and more financial rewards for farmers. Large-scale hydroponic system adoption is also especially important for mitigating the effects of extreme weather events like flooding and heavy rains.
A natural disaster’s impact on agricultural output is lessened by large-scale hydroponic systems. In addition, combining hydroponics and vertical farming methods enables farmers with limited land resources to produce at their peak efficiency. By providing financial relief packages to farmers impacted by recent floods, the Tripuran government has further shown its dedication to agricultural resilience. These initiatives are complemented by the development of hydroponic farming, which provides a lucrative and sustainable agricultural model that will guarantee the region’s long-term stability and economic prosperity.
