1. Assumption
This business plan uses the following assumption:
 The plantation uses the cassava variety “Huay Bong 80” from Thailand. The
yield of this variety is between 40 to 50 MT/hectare. However, for this
business plan, we use the average yield of 40 MT of fresh cassava root per
season per hectare.
 The fresh cassava root selling price is 80 USD/MT. The current market price
is between 80 and 90 USD/MT.
 The startup capital is 500,000 USD.
2. Products to Market
