build an agricultural business. Instead, it takes time to carefully consider the future
outcomes of the business, whether they are positive or negative. That is why, as a
general planner as well as the owner of the business, I must look forward and put all
the efforts I had, including proper planning, in order to build the successful business
we desire.

coconut plantation. Cropping farming in coconut lands produces more food and any
other agricultural products that ensuring essential food security for people in rural and
urban areas. Simultaneously, the practice creates jobs and income in the community.

incomes and people's purchasing power, and thus alleviating poverty in farming
communities.

pineapples provide income in the short-term, as it takes young palms six or seven
years to produce economic yields. Lastly, better use of good quality land located
close to settlements.
