I know the op well. He did just fine with divorce settlement. Financially not troubled much.

Bottom line, property and house for sale.

Good for the OP; nice to see happy(ish) endings sometimes.

The vanilla farm looked really interesting, and he set it up professionally by the look of this thread.

THanks for the info Norton, sorry to hear about AP after so much thought and hard work went into the project it has been a great thread.
MG.

Where did you end up finally? Met you in Djibouti, I worked at the water point, last we chatted you were still farming and had other plans as well. I took a job in Kuwait, still here. Bill

This is a real shame ... the break-up of both the relationship and the Farm prospects.

I reckon there is a real prospect for Vanilla Bean Farming in Thailand.

It will need either a Co-Op or a strong Leader who will buy the processing equipment to convert from from the green bean to the black bean.

The money is with the black bean.

Last time I looked, maybe 18 months ago, circa $5 a decent Black Bean ... but that's in the West. Thailand and maybe SE-Asia is an unknown.

Don't think he logs on here these days. He is back in Thailand (isaan). No longer carrying on with growing vanilla.
