Test one greenhouse module before expanding
This guide covers an initial 16 m x 30 m greenhouse module on a one-acre site; it does not assume the acre is fully covered. Its current baseline uses 556 kg per productive month at KSh 50/kg. Modeled annual revenue is KSh 250,200, annual operating costs are KSh 315,060, and annual operating profit is -KSh 64,860 before KSh 750,000 initial capital. Treat those figures as planning assumptions and replace them with evidence from your site, buyers and suppliers before committing funds.
The guide and workbook help you compare installed quotes, verify dry-period water, plan tomato crop work, document grade acceptance, price complete-cycle costs and stress-test delayed collection. The workbook is an editable calculator; figures must be entered or carried into the relevant tabs using the same units and cycle.
Included files
- 25-page tomato field guide PDF.
