Short answer — typical cost range
- Small/basic "smart" greenhouse packages (sensor + basic automation, small footprint): roughly Rp 25–75 million (~US$1,500–5,000). (Agrokompleknesia.id)
- Medium commercial greenhouses with durable frame, polycarbonate cover and moderate automation: roughly Rp 250–400 million (total, not per m²). (Tekniksipil.id)
- Fully‑equipped, high‑end smart greenhouses (advanced climate control, fertigation, LED, monitoring, larger scale): from about Rp 500 million up to Rp 800 million or more. (Tekniksipil.id)
Typical per‑square‑metre guidance (useful for quick budgeting)
- Low‑cost plastic film shelters: ~Rp 50k–200k / m².
- Policarbonate + metal frame greenhouses (mid range): ~Rp 150k–500k / m².
- High‑spec controlled environment (glass or high‑grade polycarbonate + full automation): ~Rp 800k–1.5M+ / m². (Tekniksipil.id)
What drives the cost
- Structure & cover (galvanized steel/aluminium vs simple pipes; glass vs polycarbonate vs polyethylene). (Tekniksipil.id)
- Automation level (sensors, climate controller, actuators for vents, fans, evaporative cooling, shading). (Agrokompleknesia.id)
- Irrigation/fertigation and hydroponic systems. (Tekniksipil.id)
- Lighting (LED supplemental lighting increases capex and OPEX). (Tekniksipil.id)
- Site works, foundations, labour, permits, transport and installation. (Tekniksipil.id)
Operating costs and returns
- Monthly operational costs vary by size and tech (electricity for fans/LED/pumps, nutrients, labour) — small setups can be a few million IDR/month; large controlled houses can be several million to tens of millions per month. (Tekniksipil.id)
- Case studies in Indonesia show smart greenhouse tomato operations can be profitable with payback under a year for some implementations (depends on crop, scale and market). Example: a 1,600 m² K‑smart greenhouse reported positive ROI and payback in ≈7 months in a published Indonesian study. (epublikasi.pertanian.go.id)
How to get a precise quote (recommended steps)
- Decide target crop(s) and annual production goals (this affects need for lighting, climate control, fertigation).
- Choose cover material (cheap film vs polycarbonate vs glass) and frame (light gauge steel vs galvanised truss).
- Specify level of automation (basic sensors + app, or full PLC control with actuators and remote monitoring).
- Get 2–3 local vendor quotes (prices vary widely by region and included services/warranty). Vendors in Indonesia offer packaged smart greenhouse services from small starter packages to full commercial builds. (Agrokompleknesia.id)
If you want, I can:
- Estimate a budget for a specific size (e.g., 100 m², 500 m², 1,600 m²) and spec (basic/medium/high), or
- Find specific Indonesian suppliers and up‑to‑date quotes for your chosen region and crop.
