Description:
Since 1970 my parents owned a farm located in Nicaragua, Central America. We have done over the years traditional farming, but now with the inception of CAFTA (Central American Free Trade Agreement with the United States), we would like to enter into a more technified agriculture program on export crops, specially to plant Okra and Banana for export into the US market, but we don't have the financial sources to carry out this project, therefore and to achieve this, we are looking for an equity funding in the amount of about $5 to $7 million for the whole project. Upon getting the funds, we will be able to plant Okra only or Banana, or a combination of both. This amount will include land rental, infrastructure construction, well drilling for irrigation system and installation, rental or buy
