Our initial response to the Laguna agri properties were no deal. (As we have focussed on memorial business and subdivision. We thought of farm lots which are currently selling between P2,000 to 3,000.
Our attention was caught by the high value tree farming espoused by Ben Mead an Australian who established Iba Botanicals, and UAP (United Agar Philippines ) and Dr. Ephraim Cercado of San Joe DelMonte. - mostly videos at YT. A top grade Agar wood in the wild can be sold for as high as $100,000 (P5 to 6m) Dr. Ephraim claims a 1 hectare of Agar plantation (plenty of caveats of course)
can earn as much as P40.000,000 after 5 years.
Why not incorporate the high value tree and crop farming to the farm plots business concept:
Thus:
Business concept: Farm lots cum high value tree farming
MVP - earn both on your lot purchase and income from high value crops agar, ylang ylang,
vanilla. Doble kita
Product: farm lots
Features:
1. Commercial for rent in front: coffee shops, pasalubong, fruit stands in front, (even beer house)
2. Resort (upgrade what is there)
3. HIgh end residential at summit
4. Farm lots with cuts of 500 and 1,000 sm
P2,500 without trees P3,000 with high value trees
5. Tree farming:
1 tree @ 10 sm thus 500 = 50 trees, 1,000 sm = 1,000 trees
Income potential 50 trees x 40. 200M, 100 trees = 400 m

This post visited his uncle who was reported to have 200 hectares taken over by illegal settlers. He was not able to meddle in this because he has mangkin who is a Board Member. We can connect throught his Mangkin with Ben Mead, And lift up living conditions of the illegal settlers by having a growing contract with the settlers.
