Reference configurations & economics

Real numbers from our own aeroponic systems.

These are standard configurations of our aeroponic microgreens systems — with output, capital cost and margin from real product data and concluded supply contracts. Figures in USD.

Aeroponic microgreens farm

Configurations at a glance

Modular from 9 to 45 m² of growing area. Output is monthly, combining microgreens and sprouts (salad mixes). CAPEX is ex-works; margin uses a production cost of ≈ $7.7/kg and a wholesale price of ≈ $15.3/kg (based on concluded customer contracts).

ConfigurationOutput / monthCAPEX (ex-works)Gross margin / month
9 m² — starter535 kg≈ $66,000≈ $4,100
18 m²1,070 kg≈ $81,700≈ $8,200
27 m²1,605 kg≈ $99,600≈ $12,300
36 m²2,140 kg≈ $114,900≈ $16,400
45 m² — flagship2,675 kg≈ $130,300≈ $20,500

Each additional 9 m² module ≈ $15,300. Payback ≈ 2 years with an internal rate of return around 40% — actual figures depend on crop mix, local price and energy. Indicative; every project is quoted to spec.

Flagship — 45 m² aeroponic farm

Output

2,675 kg / month

675 kg microgreens + 2,000 kg sprouts (salad mixes), year-round, in a 45 m² footprint.

Economics

≈ $20,500 / mo margin

CAPEX ≈ $130k ex-works · cost ≈ $7.7/kg · wholesale ≈ $15.3/kg · payback ≈ 2 years.

Automation

Seed → grow, hands-off

You sow the seed; the system runs irrigation, light, humidity, aerosol and CO₂ automatically. Only harvest needs presence.

Business case — modernized microgreens production

A working microgreens producer using our technology grew from ≈ $18,800 to ≈ $94,800 in monthly revenue after modernization — an annual turnover of ≈ $1.14M and net annual profit of ≈ $0.61M, with payback around 1.2 years. The output is also a feedstock for high-value bioactive extracts.

Deployment-specific case studies — client, country and audited results — are available under NDA on request. The figures above are real product configurations and contract-based economics, presented for orientation. Actual CAPEX, OPEX and payback depend on utilization, energy and local price.
