3.3 Incomes from selling products and net incomes

Before using the technology There were no incomes from using the area due to the fact that
the area was bought from farmers and the whole land was adjusted systematically to practice eco-

agriculture.

After using the technology There are incomes from more various agricultural productions,

namely pomelo products with the selling price of 2.94 USD per kilogram, jackfruits with the
selling price of 100 Baht per kilogram, mangos with the selling price of 1.02 USD Baht per

kilogram, bananas with the selling price of 0.73 USD per hand of bananas. Currently, there is an

average monthly income of 117.6 USD. However, there is a small quantity of products obtained
due to the fact that fruits do not give yields at their full potentials.

Estimating future incomes from pomelo which will be the main cash crop in 2027 or for
the next five years is the pomelo tree accounting for 80 trees, each of which gives the yield for 60

fruits annually. The average fruit weight is 2 kilograms. This will give a total of yields accounting
for 4,800 fruits annually. The selling price is 100 Baht per kilogram, accounting for the total

income of 28,235.3 USD annually.
