Whenever I hear about how someone made money with investments, it always gets me thinking why can’t I do it. There are loads of websites that allow you to invest but for the average person like myself, there are too many fancy terms that gets my mind boggled. Besides that, there are high minimum spends and with the risk of the stock market, normal investments are way too risky for my hard earned cash. Investing should be simple. Imagine if you could download an app and invest today without needing to understand all the technical jargon. Well thanks to Fedgroup, that is possible.
Fedgroup, through their impact farming investment platform, has made it easy for people like me and you to invest in local crowd farming ventures. At current, there is a choice of investing in blueberry bushes, beehives or solar panels all through the Fedgroup app.
Getting started is as simple as downloading an app. Yes you read that right. The app is available on iPhone and Android, so no one is getting left out here. Simply download the Fedgroup app, enter your details and choose your investment. On the app, you can choose to invest in individual blueberry bushes, beehives and solar panels (or various permutations of the three). There is also a bundle option where you can purchase bundles of solar panels, blueberry bushes or beehives at discounted rates!
While you sit back and relax, Fedgroup handles the investments while farming experts handle the rest. When your asset produces a harvest, in the form of berries, honey or electricity, Fedgroup will sell your harvest on your behalf, collect the money and pay you your share. If you choose berries or honey, you will receive your income twice a year as the harvest happens twice a year. For solar electricity, electricity is generated year round, so your income will be received monthly.
I bet you are wondering how much you will earn. Let’s say that you bought one blueberry bush at R300. A blueberry bush has a lifecycle of 8 years. In year one, it can only grow 1kg of berries. By year three, it can grow 5kg or more. Initially, your return will be small. The projections are 4.7% in year one or R14. By year five, you are projected to earn 28.5% or R85 per annum. By year eight, you will be earning 35% or R105 per annum. Your income over the term is around R600. If you minus the original investment of R300, you end up with around R300 profit. Over the whole term, you earn 12% on blueberries on average per annum, which equates to an average annual income of R70 per blueberry bush.
Your payments will be made into your Fedgroup wallet which you can either cash out or reinvest to make more money!
With impact farming, you are not only making some extra cash, you are helping farmers make a living. Another benefit of impact farming is that your monthly cash flow is market resistant.
