Yes and no
Yes and no. Yes my family IN Nicaragua have a positive cash flow and NO I am not providing cash for investments or upgrades, that is the purpose of the farm. Now they are not making what they should on the farm due to inexperience and poor farming practices. They tend to work hard not smart.
I do agree that it would be very hard to make money “honestly” on a big project but then again I do not know any in the states that do either. Someone is always getting screwed, either the workers or the owners.
Like I told you before, I am not in this to make money (or lose money either) the farm holds its own as it should. I guess the question one needs to ask themselves is how much money do they want to make. If you think you can make 10 k a month income free and clear on a 200K investment then Nicaragua may not be the place for you (unless you want to set up shop with a CR cartel)
One thing that I have learned is this. If your workers get a percentage of the product and not a salary production goes WAY up. If you have one bad apple in the bunch just use peer pressure and let them know that if Jose takes a calf, cow, pig or crops the rest of them make less money, watch them jump and start ratting on each other. This also works in the states by the way.
