Your capital, turned into a costed season.

Enter your capital, your crop, your water situation and your start date. The planner sizes the plot, follows the standard technical itinerary step by step, splits the budget line by line and estimates the return in four outcomes, from a good harvest to a failure.

Reference: $0.47/kg at the farm gate ($9.44 per 20 kg crate, Dschang, March to June 2024). Prices are lowest from December to March and highest from July to November. Optional: leave empty to use this reference, adjusted to your harvest months.
Water on the plot
Sowing, or nursery sowing for transplanted crops
More options
Unpaid family work reduces the cash needed; the work still has to be done
Reference for the machine work of this crop: $583 per hectare, a low confidence price from one Cameroon budget.

Each outcome is weighted by an indicative likelihood, adjusted to the risks of your window. These likelihoods will be replaced by measured frequencies once seasons are recorded.

How outcomes are built. Yields come from published references for each crop and season (rainy or dry), adjusted by the water your option supplies (FAO-33 yield response to water). The price is the one you enter; without it, the Cameroon reference adjusted to the months you harvest. In a good or a poor harvest, the price moves by about 17%, the usual spread seen within one market in one month. Costs of equipment that lasts several seasons are spread over its lifespan in the margin; the full purchase is in the budget.
