Six ways to build wealth, and where a managed plantation fits
Land banking, rental property, dividend shares, perennial crops: each does a different job. Here is where a managed oil palm plantation fits.
By Adetunji Jacob Ogunyemi, Managing Director
What you do today can shape what you gain tomorrow. Different assets do different jobs, so the first step is knowing what you want your money to do.
Six goals, six tools
- Long-term appreciation: land in a growing area.
- Income without day-to-day involvement: a managed plantation, where the operator does the farming.
- The lowest entry price: buying into a project early.
- Monthly cash flow: a rental property.
- Yearly company income: dividend-paying shares.
- Income for decades and an asset you can pass on: perennial cash crops like oil palm.
Where Palm Grove fits
A Palm Grove plot combines the last two ideas: you own titled land, and the palms on it produce crude palm oil yearly from year 3 for a productive life of 25 to 30 years. Jaylead plants and manages everything.
Like every investment, it carries risk: weather, yields and palm oil prices all affect income. Read the risk disclosure, then compare the plots.
