Emater will go there make soil test, tell what you should plant, what kind of soil correction you should do. Note tropical soils are usually acid.

You plant without risk. It can be the case that they say: no one plants anything here, they grow silk worm.

EMATER is a Brazilian government institution that provides assistance to the rural productor.

Back that's in Brazil. Now to your question:
Is like another other business: If you are going to produce first question is: is there a market for the produce?

If in another country, just look what they are planting around the area and follow the neighbors. Maybe they grow passion fruit and you never thougt about it.

Or you lease the land for someone and had him employ his knowledge and you get a cut of the crop.

Or you can do reforestation, just plant wood and go back there only when it is already grown trees cut and sell it.

Hot low humid, looks like cassava land.

Jim,plant wind turbines and solar panels on your 10 acres first.

Tropical Island communities need cheaper electricity in many cases paying 10 times what we pay in US and Canada.

If you can store it for when the white burned blubber crawls of the beaches ..all the better.<g>
