Avocado & Teak Farm Harvest Rights

The Teak and Avocado Farm


The Vida Verde Agroforestry Cosiguina Farm is in one of the most pristine and beautiful areas in the world. The dormant Cosiguina Hot Spring Volcano is the backyard to the farm while the front yard is a spectacular sand beach situated on the Gulf of Fonseca.  The area is surrounded by a nature reserve and one of the few areas in the world with wild Macaw parrots.


The farm is eco-sensible using solar/wind assisted irrigation systems, natural fertilization and pest control, and producing employment for the local villagers where very few other economic opportunities exist.


The Vida Verde Agroforestry Cosiguina Farm location was chosen for this unique agroforestry opportunity for several reasons.


  • The climate of the northern Nicaraguan Pacific coast has the ideal mix of wet and dry season required for both teak and avocado to flourish.
  • Teak grown in climates that are too dry do not survive or have stunted growth.
  • Teak grown in climates that are too wet do not produce the quality of wood desired.
  • The volcanic soil in the area is rich in nitrogen and other nutrients making this location the perfect place for an avocado/teak agroforest.
  • The village of El Rosario nearby desperately needs the employment offered by the farm.
  • It is a spectacularly beautiful location to not only reforest a previous peanut field but to potentially live and enjoy the surroundings.


Although teak ultimately provides a large portion of your return, including the avocado trees allows you to realize a return sooner and more steadily over the long term.


Vida Verde Agroforestry has significant experience in the industry and region and is confident in the projected returns of the farm. However, every investment has risk and returns are not guaranteed. After four or five years of growth teak trees are nearly fire, termite and drought resistant, making teak one of the hardiest trees in the world, but in those first four years they are susceptible to such events. The teak trees surround the avocado trees and offer protection to these more delicate plants as well. This means that although there is risk, the agroforestry approach mitigates much of it.


To protect your investment against even this low level of risk, Vida Verde Agroforestry offers insurance to ensure your investment is safe. If you choose to have the insurance package, Vida Verde Agroforestry will replant your avocado and teak trees at no cost to you if any catastrophe were to happen to the plants. So, although a catastrophe could potentially delay your returns, your investment is not lost regardless of what may happen. Vida Verde Agroforestry is the only agroforestry company that we are aware of to provide such insurance to our investors. It allows our investors to sleep at night knowing their investment is safe and they have made an excellent choice.

Testimonial

"My name is David and I am from Canada. Nicaragua has been of interest to me as a possible path for a residency option since I first visited this country 6 years ago. I was impressed by the beauty of the country and most importantly the friendliness of the people back then and that has not changed since my current visit here. I am particularly interested in the Pacific Coast of Nicaragua. I love it’s rugged wildness !!
 
Fast forward to July 2022 when I came here to study Spanish for 3 weeks. 
A friend sent me a link to the Vida Verde project and I became very interested in checking out this amazing opportunity. I am very much a “boots on the ground” kinda guy so I reached out to the team at Vida Verde to ask if I could arrange for a visit to the teak & avocado farm.
Andrea was quick to respond and said she would gladly set up a visit.
 
And so I rented a car and set off for Norte Nicaragua. All of the main highways in Nicaragua are in very good condition…the best roads in Central America they say. I witnessed many new roads that have been recently built. Although travel can be somewhat slow at times due to the terrain and the occasional farmer and his ox cart it was a smooth drive up to the turn off to the road (NN-265) to Potosi & El Rosario. There is a brand new road being built to Potosi…the majority of it has been completed and the plan is to complete the remaining 12K to El Rosario within the next year. Always a good sign when you witness new infrastructure being built. Good for the local economy but I also realized it would definitely have an impact on land prices.
 
The following day Hans (the botanist who is overseeing the project) and his lovely wife drove up from Managua.They picked me up at my hotel and we headed off to Vida Verde. 
The teak and avocado farm was amazing and I was surprised to learn that most of the teak trees were only 1.5 years old. How fast things grow down here ! 
As a carpenter who has built with teak I really appreciate it’s beauty and…I love anything avocado.
Hans explained the lot sizes to me and showed the land that was set aside for building homes.
I met the local farmer who is on the farm every day attending to the needs of the plants.
The land is in a unique location, right on the coast with views of El Salvador and Honduras across the Gulf of Fonseca. 
Volcan Cosiguina is a dormant volcano which is right nearby and the following day I made the hour long hike up the volcano and enjoyed the spectacular vistas.
This project, the location, the country of Nicaragua are of great interest to me.
 
Saludos!"
