The Hydroponics market in India is experiencing significant growth due to increasing awareness of sustainable agriculture practices. Factors such as health consciousness, water scarcity, urbanization, and demand for clean, pesticide-free produce are driving this trend. Additionally, the rising demand for fresh produce is fueling investor interest and innovation in the Indian Hydroponics market, making it a promising growth avenue for agriculture in the country. However, ensuring clean, contamination-free produce remains a persistent challenge with a lack of transparency regarding vegetable sourcing and growth environments. Success in this field hinges on the rigorous maintenance of stringent hygiene standards, necessitating continuous vigilance, and enhancements in the sector.
Amidst the flourishing hydroponics landscape in India, Frais Farms has emerged as a formidable player, dedicated to delivering fresh and safe to-consume vegetables, effectively bridging the gap between farm and plate throughout Mumbai. The core emphasis of the firm lies in maintaining impeccable quality standards, ensuring safety, hygiene, nutrition, and freshness. Frais Farms embarked on its journey in 2018, fueled by a passion for clean vegetable cultivation. Co-founders Khushboo and Shashank began this endeavor as a passion project, nurturing it from its humble beginnings. Over the years, their dedication led to significant growth, starting with small-scale operations and gradually expanding to deliver across Mumbai. Initially supplying limited quantities of vegetables, positive responses spurred their efforts, ultimately leading to the establishment of a new bigger farm. "Our focus centers on cultivating premium hydroponic produce and preserving its freshness until it reaches the customer, akin to the experience of harvesting it from one's own farm," adds Khushboo.
