Technical Appendix

Here’s a Technical Appendix draft for Crown Agroforestry Plantations Inc. (CAPI). This is investor-facing but focuses on technical details, protocols, and operational standards, so investors understand the scientific and operational rigor behind the plantations.


Crown Agroforestry Plantations Inc. (CAPI) –

1. Plant Propagation & Agroforestry Protocols

High-Value Crop Propagation:

  • Agarwood (Aquilaria malaccensis): Tissue-cultured elite plantlets developed via OrgaGen™ Lab-to-Land™ protocols ensuring high survival rates, disease resistance, and optimal resin yield.
  • Sandalwood (Santalum album): Grafted seedlings with verified oil yield potential.
  • Other Aromatic Trees: Includes Cananga odorata, Myristica fragrans, Cinnamon spp., and Manila elemi, propagated using organogenesis or seed-based protocols as appropriate.

Agroforestry Design:

  • Mixed-Species Planting: Combines perfumery, timber, and nitrogen-fixing trees for soil health, biodiversity, and optimized land use.
  • Spatial Planning: Plant spacing, canopy management, and polyculture arrangements designed to maximize yield and facilitate inoculation or harvesting activities.
  • Soil Management: Routine soil testing, amendment using Crown Organic Biofertilizers (COBI™), and pH/nutrient optimization.

2. Fusarium Inoculation & Resin Induction (Agarwood)

  • Dual-Action Inoculant: BarIno FusaTrinity™ combines Fusarium oxysporum with Manganese Dioxide (MnO₂) for accelerated resin formation.
  • Application Protocol:
    1. Drill inoculation holes at 30–40 cm intervals along trunk.
    2. Insert inoculant using sterilized applicators.
    3. Monitor trees for resin development over 6–12 months.
  • Expected Yield: 3–5 kg of high-grade agarwood resin per mature tree after 12–15 years.

3. Soil & Environmental Monitoring

  • Soil Parameters: pH 5.5–6.5, organic carbon 2–4%, balanced NPK ratios.
  • Water & Microclimate: Irrigation protocols tailored to seasonal rainfall; microclimate monitoring for temperature and humidity to optimize growth.
  • Carbon Sequestration & ESG Metrics: Annual reporting of biomass accumulation, carbon credits potential, and biodiversity indices.

4. Crop Management & Yield Optimization

  • Growth Tracking: Digital farm record systems capturing tree growth, inoculation dates, fertilization, and health metrics.
  • Disease Management: Routine inspection for pests and fungal pathogens; integrated organic management protocols.
  • Harvest & Post-Harvest:
    • Agarwood chips graded by resin quality.
    • Timber logged under sustainable guidelines; selective harvesting to maintain canopy and ecosystem integrity.

5. Quality Assurance & Certification

  • DENR & BPI Compliance: All plantations registered and monitored under CNC/ECC and BPI guidelines.
  • ISO & HACCP Pathway: Standard Operating Procedures designed for future compliance with international forestry and extract quality standards.
  • Traceability: Each tree and batch of harvest is digitally traceable from planting to final product.

6. Operational Metrics & Scalability

This Technical Appendix can be sent as a PDF alongside the investor brief or included as an add-on in the pitch deck, showing that the operation is science-driven, measurable, and low-risk for investors.

I can also create a visual “Technical Snapshot” infographic, condensing this into plantation lifecycle, propagation, inoculation, and yield metrics, which works really well in investor decks.

Do you want me to make that infographic next?
