  • Farmer— land lease, paid post-harvest, 3-year or 5-year option
  • 3-year lease (1 main + 2 ratoon) — standard return
  • 5-year lease (1 main + 4 ratoon) — higher farmer return, better mill amortisation
Phase Acres Additional cane Focus
Year 1 500 acres Proof of program Agri-preneur network setup, farmer trust building
Year 2 2,000 acres ~50,000 tons Operational scaling, ratoon performance validated
