The economics of the mobile vertical container farm Bohemian Garden were calculated with the following input parameters (Electricity price 2.0 CZK/kWh; Water price 80 CZK/m3; labour price 160 CZK/hour)

Message us about the interactive table of the Economics of Vertical Farming in the Bohemian Garden Container Farm.

In the Vertical Farming Economics interactive spreadsheet, you can get the resulting return on your investment in efficient local production based on the exact cost of electricity, the cost of water, the cost of operator labour and the cost of space for exact location.

The information you give us about yourself and your intention will help us process any personalised offer.

We will email you a link to the interactive spreadsheet within two working days.
