There were other similar projects in the market involving Teak-wood which failed, how is Siri Agri Group's different?

Not really. Teak-wood is considered the king among Timber which is used in every Indian household and as a tree it has never failed. The people and their greed had caused an alarming situation for Teak-wood plantation. We need to understand that there is a huge difference between an agro based farming and just planting few trees in a small real-estate plot which is meant for future occupation . The real-estate-giants who started this disaster had little or nil knowledge in teak cultivation. The only intention we sensed was money minting. The major aim was to promote real estates and land sales by showing an added advantage of income from teak-wood. For them cultivation/plantation was just an added benefit to attract the customer. The real-estate owners benefited from the land sales and never gave any professional care for the crops.

We have come across other customers who have paid some X amount for a tree to companies without knowing as to where the plantation is being done, who does the plantation and what is the security being given for the invested amounts. When customers fund individual/companies whose real intention/income source is not from agriculture/plantation then the results are fatal . However, for the error made by humans the tree gets blamed. This scenarios has caused such an adverse effect and mind-block for individuals today that teak-plantation (in fact any plantation) has become a talk of the town as being an unfruitful investment.

The reality is different. If Teak-wood is being used in every household and we pay good amounts to buy them then someone-somewhere is doing a good plantation.
An investment involves your money being entrusted into someone else’s hand for which you expect some returns and it always involves risk and we are no exception. However what one needs to analyze is the amount of risk involved compared to the reward compensated for the risk taken.

In general everyone only concentrates on the outcome projected for an investment. The most important point/s which people tend to forget while investing are:

1) Where is your money being invested? Does that source has the capacity to achieve profits as projected?

2) Does the instrument/person/company, who do the project, have the capacity & expertise to generate income from your investments?

3) What is the security being provided for your investments and is it justified?

4) What, where and when is the benefit for the person who handles your investment?

5) Does the investment plan provide a profitable & anytime exit plan for you?

We at Siri Agri Group have an answer for the above questions :

1) We are investing your money to cultivate Indian Sandalwood which is the top sold in its kind world over and its capacity to generate in crores is beyond doubt.Consider checking the next question (Q.no 3)for details.

2) Siri Agri Group is a 100% agro based company and the team involved consists of scientists, biologists, horticulturists and farmers. Our passion and area of expertise is Sandalwood farming and we are working towards its restoration.Our Chief Executive Scientist(CES)Dr.H S Anantha Padmanabha has done successful plantation in many counties one being Australia wherein TFS (Tropical Forestry Services of Australia) has grown Indian Sandalwood on more than 35,000 acres of land involving thousands of customers. If anyone in this world can cultivate Sandalwood we challenge that we would stand the top amongst them.

3) (a) Land is the only immovable instrument involved in farming. All other assets like, saplings, bore-wells, drip, security walls, sump, guesthouse including, the time, effort & expertise of the team is invested on this unmovable asset and this instrument called land is being registered in the name of the investors.

(b)We are offering the land with all amenities and the expertise of our team at the base price which we guarantee that an individual cannot find anywhere else. Owning an individual piece of land today is the dream of many however the price offered in the market is way above the reach of a common man. Providers offer one SqYd at some XXX amount and add 100-500 rupees per SqYd in the name of development charges. Some even go in the name of offering one acre of land at a said price and only give 4000 SqYds deducting 840 SqYd (one acre of land = 4840 SqYs)in the name of development charges, wastage charges for roads/amenities etc.
We are charging a straightforward cost which is applicable to do this farming at the actual cost incurred to do Sandalwood Farming with State of the class technology, expertise and without compromising on cost or Quality. As a company we will be selling this property between a price range spreading between Rs 116 till Rs 285 per SqYd based on our “STEU-UP” pricing module and we guarantee that even at our final price (Rs 285 per SqYd ) this purchase is a very fair deal.

Your core investment has the full value if liquidated (sold back) at any given time. This single factor reduces the risk and maximizes the investment security.

4) This is a very important point to be carefully examined before investing into any Investment source. An individual/company can never get you profits for your investment unless they themselves are properly benefited. This applies even at ones workplace.

WHAT : Siri Agri Group gets reasonably benefited for the efforts which the company & its team put in. We get rewarded 100% of the benefits for the first four years thereafter we have a 50% share from the profits till the end of the project.

WHERE : We get the profits from the short term crops like raggi, watermelon, vegetables etc. From the fifth year we get benefited from the mango yields till the end of the project. Tenth year we get a bonus in the form of the profits from Teak wood and at the end of the project we get a huge share from the Sandalwood harvest.

WHEN : We get this profits right from the beginning of the project till its end and only when we do our work.

5) Absolutely, since the investment is done on the base price required to do farming the investor has every option to exit anytime, with a benefit of course, Siri Agri Group adopts the step-up pricing module which starts from Rs 116 per SqYd and increases it to Rs 125, Rs 150, Rs 165, Rs 185, Rs 210, Rs 235 and finally to Rs 285. The increment of pricing purely depends and is proportionate to the development completed in the farm. This helps and investor to gain initial benefits based on the Risk vs Reward ratio calculation.
