Q: Why invest in Agriculture?
Agriculture is not merely a safe-haven investment – it is one of the most consistently profitable asset classes in history. Over the past five decades, agricultural investments have outperformed stocks, bonds, and traditional savings instruments, delivering stable, high-yield returns even in times of economic uncertainty. Unlike equities prone to volatility or low-yield financial products, agriculture benefits from perpetual demand, rapid maturity cycles, and resilience to economic fluctuations.
The fundamental reality is clear: food remains an essential necessity, irrespective of global market conditions. Inflation? Agriculture thrives. Market downturns? Food prices hold strong. Currency devaluation? Agricultural commodities retain their intrinsic value. Investing in agriculture is not only a defensive strategy – it is an opportunity to own a tangible, appreciating asset that generates consistent, long-term income.
With a growing global population and diminishing arable land, the supply-demand imbalance is intensifying, driving agricultural prices and profitability steadily upward. For investors seeking to hedge against market volatility while securing recession-proof, long-term returns, agriculture is not just a viable option—it is an unparalleled wealth-building opportunity

Q: What is the demand for Mangoes and Mango Products?
Mangoes are not just another fruit – they are one of the most consumed fruits on the planet, with a staggering 45 million metric tons devoured annually. To put that into perspective, five times more mangoes are consumed than strawberries. This isn’t just a trend—it’s a global phenomenon.
Demand for high-quality mangoes is skyrocketing, particularly in non-mango-producing regions, where consumers are quickly discovering their rich taste, nutritional benefits, and versatility. Recognizing this shift, major global brands like Nestlé, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Snapple, and Tropicana have all expanded their product lines to include mango-based beverages, juices, and snacks – a clear indication of the fruit’s rising dominance in the marketplace.
Despite this booming demand, the mango export industry remains in its infancy, with global supply chains struggling to keep up. Limited availability has restricted trade volumes, creating massive export opportunities for forward-thinking investors. Since 2015, mango imports have surged across Eastern Europe, North Africa, East Asia, and Europe, highlighting a rapidly expanding market that is still far from saturation.
For those looking to capitalize on one of the fastest-growing agricultural commodities in the world, mangoes offer an unparalleled investment opportunity with sustained demand, increasing global penetration, and a supply shortage that ensures premium pricing for years to come.
Mango products typically fall into 4 key market segments: Fresh Mango Fruit, Desserts, Snacks, and Beverages.
- Fresh mango fruit is comprised of fresh Mangoes as typically sold in supermarkets.
- Dessert products include ice cream, cake, jams, and other pastries.
- Snacks include chips, crackers, and confections such as candies.
- Beverages include juices and sodas.
The key buyers of Mangoes include:
- Global, regional, and local F&B companies that produce their own mango-based products.
- Mango product manufacturers selling white label products to F&B companies.
- Specialized mango fruit stores and stalls.
- Supermarkets & restaurants.
- Specialized mango traders and mango importers.
Q: What is the “Nam Dok Mai” Mango from Thailand?
The Nam Dok Mai mango, whose name translates to “water of the flower” in Thai, is widely regarded as one of the most exceptional and sought-after mango varieties in the world – renowned for both its appearance and exquisite taste.
When ripe, its vibrant golden-yellow skin hints at the luscious fruit inside. The silky-smooth, fiber-free flesh sets it apart from other mangoes, delivering an ultra-juicy, sweet, and delicately aromatic flavor that is nothing short of perfection. Whether eaten fresh or incorporated into fruit salads, warm dishes, desserts, or smoothies, the Nam Dok Mai is the epitome of mango excellence.
As Thailand’s most commercially cultivated mango variety, the Nam Dok Mai mango tree is medium-sized, capable of reaching heights of over six meters. It is an early to mid-season variety, prized for its ability to produce multiple harvests per year—a feature that makes it particularly valuable in both domestic and export markets. Each mango typically weighs around 400 grams, making it a premium fruit of choice for both consumers and high-end culinary applications worldwide.

Q: Where exactly is my Mango plantation located?

Q: Do you have any credible third-party validation regarding the quantity and health of your mango trees at your Kanchanaburi plantation?
Certainly! Our Kanchanaburi plantation was recently audited by BDO, one of the world’s top five auditing and accounting firms. Their audit confirmed that we have 14,400 mango trees planted, with only 56 recorded failures—a remarkably low failure rate of just 0.38%, compared to the industry standard of 10% to 15%.
This unparalleled success rate is the direct result of our meticulous land selection, cutting-edge irrigation and water management systems, and the expertise and dedication of our highly trained on-site staff. With such exceptional third-party validation, our investors can be fully confident in the quality, health, and productivity of our mango plantations.

Q: How can you guarantee that I will receive a minimum of 15.76% annualized returns?
We achieve this by underwriting the selling price of your mango harvest, guaranteeing you a minimum sales price of 2 USD/KG for all the mangoes from your trees.
Here’s what this means for you:
- If we sell your mangoes for more than 2 USD/KG (which is our goal), you receive the highest achieved price.
- If, for any reason, the market price falls below 2 USD/KG, we are contractually obligated to cover the difference, ensuring you never earn less than the guaranteed minimum.
Now, combine this with our harvest guarantee (detailed below), and you’ll quickly see the extraordinary lengths we go to in order to eliminate risk and provide our clients with a seamless, secure, and profitable plantation ownership experience.
Q: What is your primary sales plan for my Mangoes?
The primary sales plan is to export your mangoes to Tier 3 countries at 4 USD/KG and Tier 2 countries at 3 USD/KG as outlined in the below table. Tier 1 domestic sales are our fallback safety net scenario.

Q: What is current projected revenue value of your Thailand plantations?
As of November 1, 2021, the combined projected revenue value of our Thailand plantations are USD 274,754,049. of which mangoes account for USD 112,213,867.

Q: Who is responsible for shipping, customs, and import duties when we export?
All shipping costs are fully covered within your 20% harvest fee, meaning there are no additional freight expenses for you. Customs and import duties, however, are the responsibility of the local importer and/or distribution company in the destination country. As an investor, you receive 80% of the final selling price of your mangoes, ensuring full transparency and profitability.
Q: Why is investing in agriculture a powerful opportunity?
Agriculture as an asset class checks all the right boxes – it’s stable, essential, and consistently profitable.
Take Thailand’s mango market as an example: mangoes currently retail for $3 to $4 per kilogram, and over 80% of the country’s total production is consumed domestically. This means that local demand alone is already more than enough to secure the minimum guaranteed Tier 1 price of $2 per kilogram, ensuring the projected 15.76% annualized returns remain fully supported.
However, our strategy goes beyond the domestic market. By focusing on exporting mangoes to Tier 2 and Tier 3 countries, where demand is surging and supply remains limited, investors stand to benefit from even higher price points and increased yields on the global stage.
With rising population growth, inflation, and increasing food demand, agricultural investments provide a resilient, high-performing, and future-proof opportunity that continues to outpace traditional financial assets.
Q: What is the current wholesale price of Mangoes from Thailand?
Click Here to see what Nam Dok Mai mangoes from Thailand are selling for on Alibaba.com, Alibaba is Asia’s largest online wholesale marketplace. Please note that these are today’s wholesale market prices. As the years’ pass, prices of mangoes as well all other agricultural commodities are guaranteed to increase at least with the rate of inflation.
Q: What is the Plantations International Advantage?
The Plantations International Advantage lies in our unmatched scale, vertically integrated structure, and expansive global footprint, setting us apart from traditional mango exporters.
Unlike smaller exporters reliant on intermediaries, we control the entire supply chain—from plantation to retail. A prime example of this is our ownership of United Tropical Fruit Sdn. Bhd. (UTF), a Kuala Lumpur-based company that serves as our primary import agency and distributor in Malaysia, a key Tier 2 export market. By leveraging UTF, we eliminate middlemen, optimize logistics, and directly manage the distribution process—securing better margins, higher returns for our investors, and premium pricing for our mangoes.
With a strategically integrated network spanning multiple countries, Plantations International doesn’t just grow mangoes – we dominate the entire value chain, ensuring maximum efficiency, profitability, and global market access.
Q: What is the difference between the wholesale and retail prices of Mangoes?
Wholesale pricing refers to the bulk sale price at which we supply mangoes to our distributors. Since these buyers purchase large quantities, they receive significant volume-based discounts. The distributors then add their profit margin and sell the mangoes at a higher retail price to the general public.
Additionally, many distributors enter into Forward Purchase Agreements (FPA) with us. These agreements allow both us and our buyers to lock in wholesale prices for years in advance, ensuring price stability and long-term supply security.
For investors, FPAs are highly advantageous, as they guarantee a steady stream of committed wholesale buyers for your mangoes over multiple years. This not only secures consistent revenue but also mitigates market fluctuations, providing a stable and predictable income stream from your plantation.
Q: What is Plantations International’s 20% Harvesting & Management fee?
Our success is directly tied to yours – we only profit when you do. Plantations International operates on a performance-based model, deducting a 20% harvest and sales fee from your annual gross harvest proceeds (a 20/80 split in your favor).
This structure means we are fully incentivized to maximize wholesale prices – the higher we sell, the more you earn. Our team is committed to securing premium prices in global markets, ensuring that both you and Plantations International benefit from the highest possible returns. Your success drives ours, making this a true partnership built for profitability.
Q: What if my Mango trees are destroyed or something happens to them?
Q: What happens if my mango trees are destroyed or damaged?
Thanks to the diligence and expertise of our forestry management team, such occurrences are highly unlikely. To date, we have had less than 2% recorded incidents of total tree loss. However, to provide absolute peace of mind, Plantations International offers all clients “Harvest Guarantee Insurance” in the form of a contractual replacement warranty.
This means that if any of your mango trees die or suffer severe damage due to any of the following risks, they will be immediately replaced or replanted at no cost to you, ensuring you receive a 100% harvest:
- Fire
- Flooding
- Drought
- Lightning Damage
- Hail
- Pests & Disease
- Wild Animal Damage
- Theft & Vandalism
All mango trees under our custodial management are fully covered against these risks. In the event of any damage, impacted trees will be replaced and/or replanted from our extensive buffer stock to eliminate disruptions to your harvest returns. To further mitigate risk, our plantations undergo quarterly risk assessments and due diligence inspections, ensuring they remain in optimal condition. Each site is fully irrigated, monitored by 24-hour security, and managed by a dedicated on-site plantation manager, providing you with the highest level of protection and operational oversight.
Q: How do I know how much Mango fruit is produced from my trees?
At Plantations International, every aspect of plantation management is meticulously recorded to ensure full transparency and accuracy. Each mango tree is assigned a unique identification code, allowing us to track its size, diameter, crown development, and height throughout its growth cycle. Additionally, we carefully measure and document the exact amount and weight of mangoes harvested from each tree.
To keep you fully informed, each client receives a harvest statement certified by Plantations International, detailing the total quantity of mangoes harvested and their corresponding weight. This comprehensive tracking system ensures you have clear, verifiable data on your plantation’s productivity, giving you full confidence in your investment’s performance.
Q: What exact documentation will I receive to document the purchase of my trees?
You will receive the following documents:
- A sales agreement that will state your exact details, including the number of mango trees planted and
their exact geographical coordinates. - A management agreement covering all of our obligations to you during the 25-year term.
- A certified Tree Ownership Certificate, stating the exact amount of trees you own and their exact geographical coordinates.
Q: How long is my harvest term for?
Your harvest term extends for 25 years, ensuring long-term revenue generation from your mango plantation investment.
Q: Will I receive annual harvest proceeds?
Yes, you will. From your first full year of ownership, you will receive annual harvest proceeds, beginning with intercropping revenue and continuing through to year 25 as your plantation reaches full maturity. This structure ensures a stable, long-term income stream backed by a high-demand agricultural commodity.
Q: How and when are my harvest proceeds paid?
All harvest proceeds are paid by the 15th. of December for that current year. By default, all harvest proceeds are paid directly by swift bank transfer in your desired currency.
Q: What is intercropping?
Intercropping is the practice of planting banana or other short-term rotational cash crops alongside your mango trees to maximize land productivity and generate additional revenue. This strategic approach allows you to start earning income from your plantation as early as your first full year of ownership – even before your mango trees reach full maturity.
At Plantations International, we implement polyculture intercropping not only to boost your annual returns but also to enhance soil health. Intercropping introduces vital nitrogen into the soil, which plays a crucial role in accelerating mango tree growth and improving overall yield quality. By utilizing every available resource efficiently, intercropping ensures that your plantation operates at peak profitability from day one, delivering higher returns and a more sustainable agricultural ecosystem.
Q: The returns sound too good to be true!
It’s understandable to think that – but only if you’re comparing mango trees to traditional financial instruments like a fixed-rate bank deposit earning 1.5% or a corporate bond yielding 3%.
Mango plantations are not financial instruments – they represent an investment in a fully operational, income-generating business that we professionally manage on your behalf. Think about it this way: if you invested in a coffee shop, a tech store, or any other real business, wouldn’t you expect to generate at least 20%+ annual returns after a few years? Of course you would. This is no different – except that instead of selling coffee or computers, you own a share in a high-value, income-producing mango plantation in one of the world’s most in-demand agricultural markets.
And here’s the key difference: as the global population grows and inflation continues to rise, the value of your annual harvest is only going to increase year after year. Why? Because no matter what happens in the world, people will always need food – and food-based investments are some of the most resilient, inflation-proof assets you can own.
Q: If this investment is so profitable, why share it? Why not keep the entire mango plantation and all the profits for yourself?
Great question! The reality is that all major companies require external capital to scale their operations – but how they raise that capital makes all the difference. Many businesses choose to take on private debt or go public, selling off shares on stock markets, often sacrificing ownership, control, and long-term vision in the process.
At Plantations International, we chose a different path. Instead of diluting our company through stock offerings or burdening ourselves with debt, we remain 100% private, 100% debt-free, and in full control of our agricultural future. Rather than seeking capital from banks or financial institutions, we offer a select group of investors the opportunity to co-own high-performing, income-generating crops alongside us.
This model ensures that we scale sustainably, keep decision-making in-house, and maximize profitability – all while allowing our investors to benefit from the same lucrative opportunities that make this industry so rewarding. It’s a win-win: we maintain our independence, and you gain access to a proven, high-yield investment that would typically be reserved for large institutional players.
Q: Can I visit my mango plantation in Thailand?
Absolutely! As a valued client partner, we highly encourage you to experience your mango plantation firsthand. There’s nothing quite like seeing your investment in action—walking through the lush mango orchards, witnessing the trees thrive, and understanding the full scale of this incredible opportunity.

Yes, without any restrictions. Your trees are your exclusive private property, meaning you have full ownership rights and can sell, transfer, or assign them to anyone at any time, whether you need an early exit or simply wish to liquidate your investment.
Additionally, your trees are part of your estate, ensuring that in the event of death or incapacitation, they can be inherited or passed on to your chosen beneficiaries, just like any tangible asset, such as real estate.
