The farm said that the produce from the farm will be available within 36 hours of picking.

The project is financed from grant aids given by Canada, UAE, China, Hawaii, Turkey, Australia, Britain and Germany. A four year grace period to develop the project had been granted by the Government.
Speaking to Miadhu, Dr. Mohamed Shainee stated that the project had been initiated as part of the Government’s initiative to increase investment. He added that the Government had welcomed the investment and noted that this was a sign of investor confidence.
