The distribution of sugar palm covers the Southeast Asian region which includes Indonesia, Sarawak, the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Burma as well as parts of South Asia including Assam, Pakistan and along the East coast of India (Miller, 1964)
In Indonesia, sugar palm is found in almost all regions, especially in 14 provinces: Papua, Maluku, North Maluku, North Sumatra, West Sumatra, West Java, Central Java, Banten, North Sulawesi, South Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi, Bengkulu, South Kalimantan and Nangroe Aceh Darussalam. The total area in the 14 provinces is around 70,000 ha. (Maliangkay 2008).
However, not all farmers want to produce good quality palm sugar, one of the reasons is because they are chasing the cheapest price, or are not aware of food safety. Of the several palm sugars that we purchased directly from farmers as samples for proximate analysis, only a small amount of palm sugar meets Indonesian national standards. This is reality.
Only a few groups of sugar palm farmers have had the luck to have been adopted by companies that trade palm sugar in granule form, or by industries that produce granulated palm sugar. Meanwhile, other farmers who are located on cliff slopes in remote areas, are still having a “price war” to get local consumers (usually the closest traditional market to their sugar palm production)
We never get bored and give up on giving you an appeal/warning to read our disclaimer carefully

What will my investment be used for?
What is the target number of sugar palm farmer groups that you want to be certified within a year?
How do you make choices about which farmer groups to prioritize?

How much time will you need, starting from visiting sugar palm farmers until they get the certification?
How do you manage the investment capital we provide so that we get a return on investment?
When will you start making sales offers to other countries?
How can we as investors know about your sales?
How long does it take to us to receive our investment returns?
How much annual profit will we get?
If our business goes according to expectations, then we allocate your profit an average of 35% of your investment, per year.
The process of returning investment capital is carried out in stages, with the following details:
Note: The percentage listed is from your investment capital that we received at the beginning
------------
Example:
Investment Capital: $30,000
What you will receive:
----
At the end of the first year, you get the least return, because in the first six months, the certification process is still ongoing, so we don't have any profit from your investment.
The total percentage you receive is 103.5% (within three years) of your initial investment capital - not including initial investment capital.
So your average annual ROI is 103.5% divided by 3 years = 35%
What is your level of hope for success?
The level of success expectations can be described as
We have expectations that we will get to the “fulfilled state” level.
We also realize that Angel investing is high risk. While there is always the potential for high returns, angel investing is a high-risk endeavor. Startups are often unproven and have a high failure rate. As such, investors could lose all or most of their investments.
As our prospective angel investor, you are expected to be careful and make a detailed agreement with us that clearly describes the possibilities case by case, validated by a valid agreement
What is the actual investment capital range that you need for this sugar palm farmer certification project?
No more than $30,000 (USD)
Can we immediately transfer it right now to your company account, so that we can immediately participate in helping the sugar palm farmer certification program?
Neither party will transfer any funds before there is a valid written agreement based on the agreement of both parties.
The agreement should be made face to face, either offline (for Indonesian territory) or via zoom if you are outside Indonesia. This is to avoid fraud attempts that often occur, especially in cyberspace.
We always urge - rather forcefully - that you read carefully our terms and conditions page, which is always at the bottom of every page on this site
