J31 · Educational project model
Nurseries and agroforestry services
Prepare a nursery or tree-based service around suitable species, authorised planting requirements and reliable buyers. Check whether public or partner programmes already supply the same inputs. Growth, survival and the timing of payments matter more than the number of seedlings initially produced.
How repayment or affordability should be tested
Nursery orders may support short-cycle cash flow; long-lived trees require a different financing horizon and household bridge income.
Critical risks
Unsuitable species, low survival, land disputes and unpaid institutional orders can prevent returns. Carbon revenue is not presumed.
What to prepare
Species/site advice; orders; land/water rights; programme overlap check; quality standard; cash-flow calendar.
What to measure
Seedlings accepted and surviving at a defined date, paid orders and net income.
