Swiftlet Farming: Everybody Can Be A Swiftlet Farm Owner !!!


I was recently approached by developers and land owners on how to sell their parcel or package of BHs.

Most of these invidual BHs are pretty steep and expansive for any layman to buy. At the same time the risks are high.

The best method that I asked them to consider is to adopt "Air Asia" way of promotion "Everybody can Fly". The idea is to set up a Company that will issue shares of RM10,000 a unit.

Let say you have a piece of land and the size is big enought to built a row of BH worth in total of 8 million. You can now recruit about 800 share holders each to buy a unit of the RM10,000 each.

You can allow anyone to buy a minimum one unit and say maximum 10 units.

In this way the cost to own a BH is effortable. Any layman might be able to fork out the amount. "Everybody Can Own A BH".

If they are still not taken then you might want to talk to the Bank to fund those who are working and able to borrow.

The value of each share will increase with the number of nests multiplied in the BHs. If we consider one nest is RM800, every share holder will value their nest RM1 increase, once a nest is built in it.

Every four months, the nests shall be harvested and sold to a party who will buy the nests that its highest value. After deducting the cost of maintenance and operation, the net profits shall be equally devided to the 800 share holders.

Remittence to all share holders shall be done on a yearly basis, maybe just before Chinese New Year.

Can you imagine receiving regular SMS messages telling you that the number of nests is such and such and having a password to enter the website where you can view those beautiful farm with lots of birds circling above the BHs? Every month a birdcount figures are made available online to indicate the number of nests increased.

I will surely want to participate in this kind of venture. Of course I must be convinced that the birdcall test do bring in a few thousand birds above my car.
