Financial Projection of Palmvine's Agro-Economic Model
Palm Production
Average yield per mature hectare.
3–4 tons of palm fruits per year
● Total estimated output: 150–200 tons of palm fruits annually
● Processing conversion rates:
Crude Palm Oil (CPO): 20–22% of fruit weight → 30–44 tons
Palm Kernel Oil (PKO): 3–5% → 5–10 tons
Palm Kernel Cake (PKC): *approx. 12–15 tons.
● Crude Palm Oil (30–44 tons) → $45,000–$70,000
● Palm Kernel Oil (5–10 tons) → $8,000–$16,000
● Palm Kernel Cake (12–15 tons) → $4,000–$6,000
Black Product Export Values
● Charcoal (12–15 tons) → $3,500–$5,000
● Black Soap/Organic Extracts → $6,000–$10,000
Total Export Range
$66,500 – $107,000 annually.
MAHALAB (Mahleb)
Per-harvest cost
• Planting (inputs, seedlings): $150
• Harvest labour: $200
• De-pitting & seed extraction: $100
• Drying & sorting: $80
• Milling (if powdered): $50
• Packaging (food-grade): $60
• Quality control: $40
Total per harvest: $680
Harvests per year: 3 → Annual processing cost = $680 × 3 = $2,040
Yield & Revenue (conservative):
• Yield: 1,200 kg / year (processed/usable)
• Price assumption: $12 / kg
• Annual Revenue = 1,200 × $12 = $14,400
Annual Net (per ha):
• Revenue $14,400 − Cost $2,040 = $12,360 / year
CARDAMOM
Highly labour-intensive (hand harvesting each pod), Costs reflect careful post-harvest handling to preserve value.
Annual cost (per ha)
• Hand picking: $600
• Washing & low-heat drying: $150
• Sorting & grading: $120
• Packaging: $90
• Quality management / QC: $40
Total annual cost = $1,000 / ha
Yield & Revenue (conservative):
• Yield: 250 kg / year (dried pods)
• Price assumption: $20 / kg (premium cardamom)
• Annual Revenue = 250 × $20 = $5,000
Annual Net (per ha):
• Revenue $5,000 − Cost $1,000 = $4,000 / year
SAFFRON
Extreme labour intensity (manual flower picking, stigma separation) and very high retail price — small yields, large value.
• Manual flower picking: $2,500
• Stigma separation & hand processing: $1,000
• Low-heat drying & careful handling: $600
• Sorting & micro-grading: $400
• Packaging (airtight jars/tins): $200
• Quality certification / compliance: $150
Total annual cost = $4,850
Yield & Revenue (conservative):
• Yield: 8 kg / year (dried saffron stigmas)
• Price assumption: $1,400 / kg (premium saffron)
• Annual Revenue = 8 × $1,400 = $11,200
Annual Net (per ha):
• Revenue $11,200 − Cost $4,850 = $6,350 / year
VANILLA
Vanilla is labour and skill intensive (hand pollination, staking, shade management, curing/fermentation). Yields and prices vary widely with plant age, agronomy and curing quality.
Typical cost items
• Planting & shade structure /staking: $800
• Hand pollination labour (seasonal): $1,200
• Maintenance (weeding, shade, irrigation): $600
• Harvesting & pod collection: $600
• Curing & fermentation (labour and facilities): $800
• Drying, grading, packaging: $400
• Quality control / certification: $200
Estimated total annual cost range = $3,600 — $8,000 / ha (depending on intensity and infrastructure amortization)
Yield & price scenarios (cured vanilla beans)
• Low case: 50 kg cured / ha × $200/kg = $10,000 revenue
• Mid case (conservative planning): 80 kg cured / ha × $350/kg = $28,000 revenue
• High case (optimistic, mature stands & premium market): 150 kg cured / ha × $600/kg = $90,000 revenue
Annual Net (per ha)
• Low case net: $10,000 − $5,000 = $5,000
• Mid case net: $28,000 − $5,000 = $23,000 ← recommended for planning
• High case net: $90,000 − $5,000 = $85,000
