capital-intensive business, so tracking efficiency and land utilization is critical from the start in 2026 You must monitor 7 core KPIs across production, cost, and cash flow to manage the high initial CAPEX ($49 million) Focus on achieving a high Gross Margin (GM) percentage, which starts at 890% based on current variable cost assumptions (110% of revenue) Annual yield per hectare (Ha) must be benchmarked against industry standards, especially as the cultivated area scales from 50 Ha to 275 Ha by 2035 Review production and land metrics annually post-harvest, but track variable costs
