Follow on Google News | Philippines Green Investment: High ROI with Organic FarmingA few expats and retirees in the Philippines are now ‘going Green’ through the combination of investment and organic farms.
By: Will Irwin The basic idea of setting up an organic farm boils down to the fact that the Philippines has all that is required to produce extremely high yields in agriculture; Organic farms (managed by a group of 'non-Filipinos') Will Irwin (author of books concerning expats in the Philippines) Also popular are honey bees for organic honey (bees increase the fruit volume with more than 30%). The demand for honey - especially organic honey - international - is huge now. And the revenues are very positive too. The 'Brains' behind this endeavor are now working out the most profitable combination of crops, trees and possibilities. They are looking for investors and ultimately anyone would be allowed to invest in one hectare or more of the farms. This means that not only the 'bigger players' can make a profit but really any expat or retiree who has at least US$ 30,000 to invest; this provides for a nice monthly supplemental income. The projects have full support of the Philippine Government because it’s 'Green/Eco' and brings development to rural areas; Eco-tourism included. Local Filipino farmers are not negatively affected because most products are for export plus they benefit from the fact that the retirement villages and farms create jobs and provide non-profit support for them also.
