Organic Musang King Durian

Why invest in Musang King Durian Trees? The answer is simple, China and Hong Kong absolutely love Malaysia’s Musang King Durian. The incredible demand commands premium retail prices, and depending on quality and season can fetch as much as 120 USD/kg. and more. Currently, Malaysia has just over 500,000 actively producing Musang King trees in the entire country, and exports only 5% of its annual Musang King production. This enormous supply deficit has created an enormous opportunity for Musang King Durian Plantation owners and investors. To put the China market into perspective, it is estimated that China alone can annually consume the production from 12,500,000 trees without affecting current prices! 

You can find all the sales materials in the links below for this amazing plantation product that offers your clients a 19,97% AAR for an impressive 25-year term.

Protecting Your Wealth from Inflation – This is the conversation that needs to be had with your clients!

If your money isn’t moving forward, it’s falling back.  That’s due to inflation.  Inflation is the term used to describe the steady rise of prices for goods and services that affects all areas of the economy.  Over time, inflation can erode the purchasing power of your dollar.  But with some foresight and planning, it’s possible to protect your money. The solution is investing for inflation — choosing investments that will give you a return greater than the current rate of inflation.  This is why investors are running towards physical asset investments!
