Do you have a business plan?
Yes - 1 Supermarkets carry vegetables imported from South America or Asia. Why can’t these be grown locally? I plan to cultivate these vegetables. 2 How to created more added value in the future? Revenue from cultivation alone is limited, so I plan to introduce dining and cultural-creative services in the future. 3 I will connect with local associations and institutions. Use existing platforms to establish a brand image.

No - I have my savings.
Do you have access to other financial resources (such as a financial partner, loan, etc.) to start your farm?'

Farm Project Description
Value proposition: Uniqueness and flexibility.
1. I plan to cultivate some vegetables imported from South America and Asia and build an Eco system. With only a single product or service, it is difficult to expand the consumer segments, and people may eventually feel bored. To increase the added value of the farm, it is important to diversify the range of services. For example, in the future, we may offer specialty dining experiences or cultural and creative services that provide spiritual fulfillment.
2. Taken from nature and returned to nature. The cultivation process does not use chemical products in order to ensure product quality and protect soil safety. For example, green compost is used.
3. Applying for Government funding. With these founding I will build a green house and irrigation system.
4. Sales and Marketing Channels. Local market, farm market, super market, restaurants. I have over 10 years IT work experience. I will develop a website with multiple anchor sections to attract more traffic and enhance brand awareness.
5. Employee mental and physical health.
