Regenerative Investing
Regenerative Investing is a new term defined as Long-Term Investing sufficient to enable new business models to accomplish increasing long term ROI.
Looking at nature having all the necessary ingredients that set the stage for compounding interest in the form of resources supply, brings about a substantial ROI over time.
Increasing resources supply, in cash flow, efficiency, management team that oversees and takes effective action when and where needed, communication network of individuals who are connected to the entire supply chain, standard actions taken by each individual towards a common goal, clear and concise invitations to professionals with proven track records to join and participate within the community that results in a growing "Regenerative Community".

What Would RegenerativeInvesting Look Like for the Kenaf Community and Investors
An objective overview for RegenerativeInvesting can be simple and effective, and in order to do so I'll provide an example that is based on what the farmer, processor and buyer have said they wanted and how an investor gets what they want as well.
What the farmers continue to tell me is they want to know that their harvest has a buyer for their entire yield, they get paid in a timely manner at a price that ensures a better profit than what they can get growing crops other than kenaf. So this must be a part of the business plan of our processors so that farmers can transition and processors have a steady supply of raw material for years to come.
Processors want to know they have a market for their processed fibers and wood core they can sell to buyers, meet all their operating costs including the payment to farmers and payments to investors and make a profit in their first year. Processors also want 100% equity in their business.
So far, buyers are saying they are ready to purchase at certain prices, need samples for testing, specific quality specifications and guaranteed quantities delivered on their schedule in the range of 250 - 500 tons/month.
Investors that have contacted me so far are looking for high percentage equity investments that does not fit into the needs of those clients moving forward on their processing centers at this time. At some point, economy of scale will be realized with the target of 1% return to investors on a trillion-dollar annual market. Our fundraising is focused on low interest loans towards 100% funding of projects interest paid annually. This is the approach taken into consideration with the current business plan.
With each partner in the kenaf supply chain continually doing their part, we can expect regeneration in business, the environment and communities around the world.
