125: Passive Income from Agricultural Real Estate with David Sewell

Your passive income streams are durable to the extent that they’re diversified. Specialty agriculture can realize spectacular gains as the world’s amount of arable land diminishes. At the same time there are more mouths to feed. There is a massive undersupply of fine cacao for the world’s strong market demand. Chocolate is derived from the cacao tree. Quality cacao thrives in the stable Central American nation of Belize. Finished products include gourmet chocolate and cacao butter. You can realize a cash flow stream from the annual harvest of the cacao beans, and it’s all managed for you. Learn about the returns, risks, cacao supply vs. demand, and more.
