Sounds good. Looking forward to a visit once we start operations. The interest in Avocado is on the rise.

The contract allows for boreholes and permanent infrastructure. The location includes a small pond between two hill tops. As for contract length, there is an option to add more Rai after the second year. Talked with other farmers in the area before signing. To keep it short, we got a great location with some nice neighbors.

Here is an update on leasing land. We were able to get 30 Rai at 1500 baht per Rai for 8 years in Phetchabun. Starting farm ops in November this year.

Will do. Thanks.

Weather events are to be expected. One of my goals is to mitigate risks against wind and flood damage. The 2-2500/rai is doable if I can get a long term deal.

Yes. They love water but hate drowning in it. Soil with good drainage fits the bill - i.e. hillside, raised beds, etc.

Correct. That is the maximum gradient I'm willing to take with drip irrigation.

Hillside would be great if the gradient is under 40 degrees.

Avocado. Several cultivars.

It is my understanding that the going rate for farmland with a water source is around a 1000 baht/rai/year. If the land is suitable for fruit trees, I expect to get long term lease (minimum 10 years, preferably 30) with an option to extend.

Please send me a private message to discuss.

We plan to live in or near the property. We plan to earn income over time. We will have help securing the property as well.

Thanks for the advice. Got it done a little while back to include contingency plans as well.

Rice land would need to be filled with appropriate drainage. Altitude above sea level is expected to be over 750m.

I would like to know of farm land available for long term lease in the Khon Kaen, Roi Et, and Mukdahan provinces. Saraburi and Korat are good alternatives. Preferably, we are looking for 25 plus rai to include a water source for fruit trees. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
