Thank you very much for watching this video. I have a feeling this video gave facts about rubber but didn't mention anything about how to invest. I have a friend with fast knowledge when it comes to investing in rubber. Please leave all questions and I will try and make a part 2 with him to answer them. Thanks once again for watching 🙏🏾
You always have great ideas on making money in Ghana. I friend of mine did mention to me that I should grow some Rubber Trees, but she failed to mention as to why and this video just filled in the blanks.
Fordlandia failed because Ford felled the Virgin Forest and planted the first set of trees during the wrong season, and he planted in an area prone to rubber tree blight. Tell the full story as to why he failed.
Thanks for the video Mickey, very informative. Im interested in the investment and data part if it's available. Can't wait to see your next video. Kudos to you 🤝
Thank you and thanks for watching. The person with the in depth knowledge in the subject is very difficult to get hold of but I'll definitely try my best to make it happen. Thanks once again.
Good video. However, I wished you had more questions such as What is the rubber seed and how is it planted? Do you start tapping from the top and work your way down or otherwise? Is the rubber from tree environmentally better than plastics? Not clear about the value because they said something, the subtitle read something else and you said a different thing. How long can a spot be tapped for? Are there different types of rubber trees? What happens to the tree after it is done producing rubber? Sad they don’t know the yield per acre, that is typical of most Subsaharan African farmers. They don’t even have an estimated clue despite doing it for years. I tried farming and most of the locals will tell you “Gods willing” this or that. It’s quite unfortunate or deliberate that we don’t know how to use data
Thanks very much for your input. I have someone who is more knowledgeable with all the data. I will try and do a part 2 of this video. With the subtitles, everything they said were summarized for general understanding. Thanks once again for your feedback.
I went back to watch the video and I got what you meant about the value for 1 tonne. So he mentioned the figures in the old Ghana cedis which is 48 million. I'm not sure if you are familiar with the Ghanaian currency but 48 million is 4,800 in new Ghana cedis and that was what I put in the subtitles and also mentioned in the video. So it's all the same value.
Great video, however I believe that, these experts should be interviewed in a language they’re most comfortable with. That way they’re able to express themselves well and then, through the magic of closed captioning, you can further divulge that information to people who are not from the motherland and may not comprehend the local dialect.
Very insightful but what really surprised me is how artificially depressed the rubber price is in Gh. Right now, rubber trades for $1.54/Kilo in the global markets. That equals $1,540 per tonne as opposed to the $420 that the Ghana government pays farmers. Why is the Gh rate so low compared to the global prices? Does the Gh government pocket the difference?
Most farmers where given loans by the government to plant. So the government buys it on a subsidised price also. And I also think that's how GREL the buying company makes profit.
@@MickeyAgyei Interesting. So there’s not only opportunity on the farming side, but the processing/refinement side as well. Which is what you alluded to at the end of the video. Makes sense.
@@KingKofi01 Yeah. There are even third party or private buyers springing out to the dismay of GREL. It is even deemed illegal to sell to them but they are operating.
You will have to find a trusted person who works with GREL and go into partnership with them. I have a friend who knows more about it. I will make a part 2 to answer more questions.
Hello my good friend. I hope you are well. Through partnership with a trusted local. Normally an employee of the Ghana Rubber Estate Limited. I will try and make another video to go into more details.

Yes it is. As mentioned in the video, the hard part is investing for long term proceeds.
You always have great ideas on making money in Ghana. I friend of mine did mention to me that I should grow some Rubber Trees, but she failed to mention as to why and this video just filled in the blanks.

Ford tried planting a big plantation but failed great to see this estate living it's best life
Fordlandia failed because Ford felled the Virgin Forest and planted the first set of trees during the wrong season, and he planted in an area prone to rubber tree blight. Tell the full story as to why he failed.

This is such an educative video 👏🏾
Thank you Pat. I hope you are well.
Hmm, the devastating effects of galamsay
Hmm it was crazy to see how the place has gone from green to brown.
Such an eye opener.......can you do an indepth video concerning the financial aspect of investing in rubber?
I got you. I will try my best to make that happen.
This is interesting, how do you invest?
You will have to find a trusted person who works with GREL and go into partnership with them. I have a friend who knows more about it. I will make a part 2 to answer more questions.
Salaam-alaikum 🙏🏽
Peace 🙏🏾
Are there existing farms where one can invest ?
There are if the interest is very high and strong.
Hi you can introduce non venomous snake s to ward off thieves
Oh wow. That will end up warding all of us off 😂😂. Very good idea. Thanks.
Can it be cultivated with irrigation?
It needs a lot of rain even when fully developed. I'm not sure if irrigation will be sustainable.
Watching from Chesapeake VA.
