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

produce Short harvest

time Low start-up

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
