Production Process

We buy seeds for sowing, cocopit and starter and trays and nutrients. We work with women on putting seeds in trays and men who work on cocopit then we put the seeds in germination trays. Then watering regularly, spraying regularly to avoid insects pests invasion. While the seeds are growing, we do land preparation ready for planting in 24 weeks.
