The document describes Project Tambora, an agricultural project in East Indonesia seeking equity partners. The project aims to take advantage of Indonesia's chronic undersupply of domestically produced vegetables by producing staple crops like chili, shallots, and sweet corn year-round. It will implement sustainable farming practices and provide jobs for the local community. The climate and soils of East Indonesia are better suited for consistent vegetable production compared to Java, which experiences unpredictable rainfall that limits crop yields. The project's financial projections conservatively estimate revenue based on traditional wet market prices in Java.

32. The proposed East Sumbawa site is suitable for year round cash
cropping
Shallots, chili and sweet corn
are common smallholder
crops in Sumbawa (Bima,
Dompu and Sumbawa Besar).
Smallholder produc)vity is
limited by inadequate access
to water for irriga)on and
distance to the main markets
in Java (high cost and high
losses of perishable produce).
Founders have developed
solu)ons that address cold
supply chain and logis)c
challenges.
Site suitability criteria Proposed
Property
Comment
Climate:
Sub-tropical dry climate. ✔
Climate is not considered extreme for the
proposed cropping program. Adverse
(high rainfall) conditions are not frequent
Soils:
Virgin, deep sandy loam soils
✔
Chili, shallots and sweet corn require well-
drained soil – ideally sandy loam.
Irrigation potential:
The property is located above a large
aquifer – reported ground-water
potential 8-15 liters per sec (borehole
potential 800m3/day)
✔
Approximate 3,500m3/Ha water is
required to produce one crop. Maximum
requirement for 120 Ha estimated at
4,700m3/day from boreholes during dry
season (peak demand).
Community conflict:
Low risk of community conflict or
illegal occupation (limited access to
water)
✔
Good potential to support surrounding
community farmers through out-grower
programs
Existing access & infrastructure:
Nearest town is 50km away, nearest
Port is 30km away and both are
connected by new asphalt road.
Reliable and good mobile
telecommunication services are
available but no access to state
electricity supply.
✔
Basic services and all-weather access is
available
On site power generation options include
solar, gas (LPG) and diesel power
Cold supply chain logistics:
No available cold supply chain
services
✘
Propose to establish our own cold supply
chain (farm to warehouse)
Market access:
Long distance by road to the main
market (Java). Sea freight options are
limited. Nearest Port is 30km away
✘
Sea freight is potentially cheaper and
quicker than road transport.
Propose long term charter of a suitable
vessel - weekly service to / from Java
Opportunity to develop a deep water jetty
on site
36. The startup development schedule is aimed at achieving full produc)on
(2.5 Ha per week) commencing Q4
• 1st commercial crop may exclude sweet corn (not viable to ship small quan)ty to Java);
• 1st crop revenue is expected commencing Q3;
• Full produc)on (2.5Ha/week) is set to commence in Q4 / retailing in Q1 of year 2;
• Flexible produc)on scale – adjusted to suit site development progress and market demand;
• Ini)al accommoda)on and office infrastructure will be containerized (quick and easy); and
• The container jegy should be ready for use by Q4.
