Surya Agrotech, led by Ganesh Gowda, operates from Thailand with a regional focus on Southeast Asia, a region where agriculture remains a key economic backbone. From this base, the company delivers integrated agrotechnology solutions for greenhouse and open-field production, supporting growers across diverse climatic and market conditions.
"Our role is not limited to supplying equipment," Ganesh says. "We work with growers from the initial site study and design stage through installation, and in many cases we continue with growing support until their teams are fully trained in controlled agriculture."

Turnkey approach to water, energy, and automation
Surya Agrotech undertakes turnkey projects that integrate irrigation, climate control, and energy management. The team shares one current example of a 5-hectare solar-powered drip irrigation project that combines renewable energy with AI-based wireless automation and water management.
"This project is still under implementation," he explains. "Because we handle everything from design to installation, measurable results on water efficiency, energy savings, and crop performance can only be evaluated once the system is fully commissioned."
The design philosophy behind the project reflects a broader trend in the region: reducing dependence on grid electricity while improving precision in irrigation and fertigation. Solar-powered systems, combined with drip irrigation, are intended to reduce operational costs while delivering water and nutrients more efficiently at the root zone.

AI-based wireless irrigation in practice
AI-based wireless irrigation systems are still relatively new for many growers in Southeast Asia. According to Ganesg, adoption is increasing as awareness grows.
"Wireless automation is a smart choice," he says. "We tell growers they can manage irrigation and fertigation from their fingertips, operate systems remotely, and receive real-time data such as weather conditions, soil moisture, EC, and even NPK-related parameters."
For remote farms or multi-site operations, this data-driven approach changes day-to-day management. Instead of fixed irrigation schedules, growers can respond dynamically to crop demand and environmental conditions, potentially reducing water waste and improving consistency in crop growth.

Naturally ventilated polyhouses for humid climates
In high-humidity regions such as Southeast Asia, Surya Agrotech focuses on naturally ventilated polyhouses rather than fully climate-controlled structures. These greenhouses are designed with four-side openable curtains and roof vents to promote passive air movement.
"Cold air, which is heavier, enters through the sides, while hot air exits through the top vent," he explains. "This natural process helps maintain temperature and humidity with low operating costs."
To enhance resilience under extreme weather conditions, these structures often include aluminet shading as a secondary layer, along with foggers and air circulation fans. "Aluminet works like a blanket. In summer it helps keep the greenhouse cooler, and in winter it helps retain warmth."
All active components, including fans and foggers, are connected to the company's AI-based wireless automation. "When temperature rises or falls beyond set limits, the system operates automatically," he adds. "This helps maintain the required microclimate for better crop performance."

Sustainability through precision and renewables
Sustainability is important for the Surya Agrotech's project design. Solar-powered irrigation systems, precision drip irrigation, and water storage solutions such as pond liners are positioned as both environmental and economic investments.
"All our products are designed with sustainability in mind, to support farming communities in the long term. Many project failures happen because growers in our community choose the wrong technology. We start by visiting the site, understanding their needs, and then recommending the right solution."
By combining renewable energy with precise water delivery, growers can reduce input costs while conserving resources. "We stay with farmers through their journey in high-tech agriculture," he notes.

Market conditions in Southeast Asia
Agricultural markets across Southeast Asia are expanding, driven by population growth and strong domestic demand. "The market here is booming, and agriculture is the backbone for many people," he observes. However, he also points out that price structures differ from Western markets, which can influence investment decisions in advanced technologies.

Toward chemical-free cultivation
Beyond infrastructure and automation, Surya Agrotech is increasingly focused on supporting toxic- and chemical-free agriculture. The company supplies microbe-based liquid fertilizers designed to improve soil fertility and restore microbial populations.
"It's about restoring soil health. We also work with nano bio-fertilizers that are cost-effective for growers and can replace synthetic fertilizers and chemicals."
