APPROVING OUR PLAN

•Found a Sweet Potato farmer to look at our plan

•Concur that good soil is not needed

•Concur with 100 days period

•But… said that planting using tubers may not be most effective

APPROVING OUR PLAN

•Suggested using Sweet Potato Vines will take lesser time to grow

•Much, much lower attrition rate

•Sweet potatoes are easy to grow in tropical climates like Malaysia, Singapore or Batam

•Gave us healthy, live samples

WHAT WE LEARNT

There’s no shortage of land space Hence, no need to plant between trees

Farmers become unwilling when they have to pay

Farmers will try out a batch, if we help them start up for free

Potato vines grow extremely easily

ADVANTAGE AND DISADVANTAGE

Easy to grow Easy to mass

produce Short harvest

time Low start-up

Capital

Low ROI

OUR LONG-TERM PLANS

Give them the first batch of sweet potatoes vines. And a new source of income, stable cash flow

Help them “upgrade” to higher value crops Like mangoes, pineapples or durian

Money from sale of sweet potatoes as a sustainable income Until the mango, durian or other fruit trees mature

BEST PROOF THAT IT WORKS?

Just 2 days after planting the vine!

New roots!
