Don checks in from the trenches...
Hi John,
This morning I had a phone conversation with the CEO of a managed farm land project in Panama.
The company sells hectares of land to buyers. The buyers take title to the land and the crops grown on the land belong to the buyer.
Company management is optional.
The major crop grown on the land is organically grown mangoes (these specific mangoes have a higher pulp to seed ratio). In addition, there are plans to do intercropping to make the land more productive for the buyer.
During our conversation I asked this question, “Is it permitted for buyers to play an active role in finding new export markets for their harvests?” His answer was, “Of course, the crops belong to the buyer. However, it needs to be done professionally. If you can do that, the company will pay a commission.”
Now I have a better appreciation of what you have illustrated previously. How opportunities present themselves out of opportunities.
Thank you for providing what you teach. Because of you, the second opportunity is possible.
I will be in contact with questions and for help.
Best regards,
DonTo which I replied, in part...
I'd study closely what mangoes have gotten off the trees and sold through in USA from this project. Make them prove it... mangoes have one big drawback, no one knows how to "peel it".
Finally, just as small delivery companies once delivered coffee to offices, now fresh fruit routes are being set up... selling could be a matter of showing up at break time, dazzling with a mango "peeling" demonstration, and then an order for 10 pounds a week or whatever...
John
