Manuka Oil plantation – early investor sought
As a subscriber to my Opportunities newsletters, you may have read the one I sent a few weeks ago about the opportunity to invest in a fully grown 800+ Ha Manuka plantation in Northland.

one I sent a few weeks ago about the opportunity to invest in a fully
grown 800+ Ha Manuka plantation in Northland.
Our client has a lease on Crown land which contains the Manuka, and he
owns the business that has the sole right to harvest the Manuka and
produce Manuka Oil from it. The trees are not destroyed in the harvest,
so this combined with the size of the orchard, means harvesting is a
continuing operation year to year.
He has already commenced harvesting the Manuka and producing the Oil
with only a few staff. The “quality” of the oil has been tested and
other tests are now being undertaken by a potential distributor in
Australia.
The Opportunity
In the meantime our client’s business requires a relatively small amount
of capital to update the existing distilling equipment, and provide new
equipment to streamline the harvesting and increase the production of
the Oil.
About $150,000 is all that’s required. A new company has been formed to
hold the lease and operate the business, so the opportunity is for an
investor to provide these initial funds and take stake in the business
while the company is still young. Details to be agreed. The preference
is for a single investor but all applications will be considered.
Active participation
An eventual requirement for the business will be for an executive to
oversee and manage the entire operation from harvest through to domestic
and international sales, including the appointment of sales agents.
The founder of the business does not want to take on this role.
Anticipating an obvious question an investor in this Offer might have
with regard to any ongoing involvement with the business, our view is
that any concern about the distance to Mangonui, the nearest town to the
plantation, is probably a bit of a red herring. In this age of the
Internet, and for this project in particular, a continuing presence on
site is not a requirement.
The funds raised in this offer may well be a precursor to a larger
capital raise to expand the business internationally. Preemptive rights
to such an offer would be available to this investor.
Financial projections
Gross wholesale income from Manuka oil sales for the first year is
budgeted at just under $1.5 million. The initial 10 year projections
show income could be over $15 million by year 5, and double that by year
10. These are available on signing a confidentiality agreement.
