1. What is this item?

A dedicated, lockable shed for storing all incoming inputs—seeds, seedlings, fertilizers, pesticides, and farm chemicals—in a dry, ventilated, and spill-proof environment. Proper segregation and bunding prevent cross-contamination and comply with safety norms.

2. How is the Quantity Estimated?

• Stock Levels: Based on the farm’s annual seed/chemical requirement (e.g. 500–1,000 kg of seeds, 200–500 L of agrochemicals for a 25-acre farm).

• Room Size: Roughly 12 × 15 ft (180 sq ft) handles medium-scale stocking. Scale up by 25% for larger operations or bulk buys.

• Shelving Runs: Calculate shelf length = total packet/ container footprint ÷ shelf height (typically 3–5 tiers).

3. What are the Cost Components?

• Structure: Corrugated tin-sheet roof + walls on GI-pipe frame (₹45–65 per sq ft)

• Flooring & Bunding: Cement screed + mild steel or concrete containment bund (~₹120–180 per sq ft)

• Ventilation & Light: Louvered vents + skylight polycarbonate strip (₹4,000–₹6,000)

• Shelving & Racking: Heavy-duty metal shelves (₹600–800 per linear ft)

• Security & Signage: Lockable GI door, padlock hasp, chemical-safety labels (₹8,000–₹12,000)

• Labour & Installation: Site prep, painting, bund formation, wiring for basic light (₹10,000–₹20,000)

4. What are the Going Rates & Per Unit Cost?

Why this works:

• Cost-smart: tin-sheet + GI is light, quick, and cheap.

• Safe & compliant: bunding and ventilation reduce spill risks and fumes.

• Scalable: add bays or extra shelving as input volumes grow.
