Big change, big potential; small change, small potential. By understanding that investors are looking for high ROI, and based on our data, we can now suggest a counterintuitive investment; in farmers in non-developed economies instead of investing in advanced farmers. Nowadays, the most significant agro potential (waterfall) exists in non-developed economies. Unlike high-tech investments, agriculture offers a continuous long-term income, stability, and high ROI when done with experienced experts. Oh, and unlike last year’s high-tech gadgets that nobody wants today, food, particularly high-quality food, is always in demand. A TEN THOUSAND PERCENT (YES! 10,000%) WATERFALL POTENTIAL In last week's column, I presented a gap of $ 49.5K per hectare between the advanced and the less advanced mango growers. This translates to a roughly 10,000% (long-term) ROI gap potential. Crazy. What industry offers something like this? NONE!! Not energy, not defense, not real estate, not electronics, and even not high-tech. Simple NONE of those …. Furthermore, even if worse comes to worst and we realize "only" 10% of that potential, i.e., 1,000% income increase, will you call it a failure? And, remember that from the current $500 income per hectare, the smallholder farmer has zero (0) profit, which is why farmers are poor. In practice, EVERY $ above the current state - is a profit that can be invested in improving farmers’ lives and … invest back in the field to bring more and better results. AGRICULTURE IS BUSINESS Based on working with a novel business model, Dream Valley views and presents agriculture as the most significant business opportunity of today, PLUS that it is a real game changer when it comes to ensuring our children’s future, in harmony, on planet earth. Before reading this column, you may only see the danger and high risk of investing and working with farmers in non-developed economies. Now, you see the potential too, and how huge it is. You also understand it is possible to "dig it out," preferably with an experienced team of experts with a field working model. And by the way, do you know big gain with no pain, i.e., mining, oil deep water drilling, high-tech, etc.? As the data shows, investing in the agro sector in non-developed economies is worthwhile even compared to other high-tech investments. Unlike high-tech, where investments are high, last shortly, and next year nobody remembers the gadgets of this year, in agriculture, once you invest, you can have recurring profit for many years. People would always need to eat, and the world population continuously grows. Like any field and investment, you achieve high performance and low risk by working with an experienced and professional team having an appropriate tailor-made business model. Contact me if you are interested in promoting the agriculture sector in your country or investing in agriculture through Dream Valley as a business investment with a social-environmental impact. Nothing of what you read above is “theoretical.” I am working with advanced and non-advanced farmers. Some of the farmers I know and that work with me enjoy an income of $ 50K per hectare, and others only $ 500 per hectare. I know farmers from both groups and have helped many increase their income by tens and hundreds of percent in a year. You can continue to be faithless, fearful, and, by default, choose to do nothing. Doing nothing is also a decision. And you can decide to follow your heart, your principles, and now also the data, and invest in agriculture in underdeveloped economies. If you belong to the second group, consider doing it through Dream Valley. |
