Proper Farmland investments are essentially simple property transactions,

involving the development of land for the production of crops and/or livestock.

Investors may choose two options which are to invest directly in land and

participate in the rigorous development, or, invest in a professional turnkey

solution such as that offered through Simply Natural Investments.

The advantage of Farmland investing is that it allows for investment and

ownership in a tangible asset with secured income generating operations which

provide a much safer alternative to stocks, bonds and traditional equities.

Farmland investing is particularly attractive to investors who wish to own

productive assets that are not affected by the typical volatility in the financial

markets and other market manipulations that can affect your portfolio.

AN INTRODUCTION TO FARMLAND INVESTING

Page 4: simply_natural_booklet_38500-Reader-SIMPLYNATURALINVEST

simply natural investments

The primary drivers underpinning current and future farmland values are

the massive global population growth, personal income growth, and need

for proper nutrition. All of these factors ultimately dictate a rapid increase

in the global demand for food, which creates measurable value for Farmland.

Agricultural values are set to increase along with these key fundamentals, and

both food and water can arguably be stated as the most important commodities

in the world.

Supply and demand, location, management and productivity are all keys

to both short and long term land values as the limited availability of prime

Farmland continues to compete with real estate development. Land as we

know; is an asset that cannot increase itself, particularly inside of the most

popular international destination countries like Panama.

Food production will be a dominant discussion in the immediate future, and

prime land located near population and/or shipping hubs to the world will

always prove to be a good stable investment with a capital appreciation that

outpaces the rate of inflation.

FUNDAMENTALS OF FARMLAND INVESTING

“The best sector in the world that I know right now is probably agriculture. Everybody should become a farmer. Farming is going to be one of the greatest industries of our time for the next 20 to 30 years. I’m convinced that farmland is going to be one of the best investments of our time.”

-Jim Rogers, 2009 (Jim Rogers cofounded the Quantum Fund with George Soros which gained more than 4,000% in 10 years, while the S&P rose less than 50%).

Simply Natural Investments is presenting wise investors, entree to excellent cash on cash returns with a built in hedge against both inflation and market volatility. Partnering with Simply Natural Investments partners you with the expertise of Fourth Generation farmland management expertise to identify: sound investment of fertile land , appropriate crop choices for each terrain, and the optimal strategic locations and logistics for both cultivation and sale of your crops. Each aspect is included as turnkey, which assures the proper management of your money by way of the proper management of your land, and a strong residual return on investment to help grow your patrimony today, and for decades to come.

In agricultural terms, the best financial gains have always been derived from the development of land into productive agricultural properties. Through careful and deliberate development of infrastructure, utilization of state of the art farming machinery, sustainable farming techniques to best utilize soil quality controls, the asset value grows like the crop itself. Our technique not only allows the investor to benefit from a higher appreciation of the asset but also offers a generous annual income stream.

THE OPPORTUNITY

It may come as a surprise to many people to know that the Mango is the second

most consumed fruit on the planet. It is globally recognized for its consistent,

quality yields and unique sweet flavor while offering diverse value-added

properties for both of the health and natural food industries.

The mango tree is native to South East Asia and has been distributed world-

wide to become the most consumed tree fruit in the world having been born in

India over 5,000 years ago! The tree averages a 60-80+ year productive lifespan

depending upon variety, making it one of the most successful and dependable

crops in the world.

The Simply Natural Investments team has developed a unique mango cultivar

called the “Lady Victoria”. The Lady Victoria Mango has an 85% fruit to seed

and rind ratio, higher yield per tree and a stronger resistance to pests, fungus

and bacteria infestation for all tropical climates. Success of the Lady Victoria

has been proven over the last 20 years of research and development and is a

superior product. It was organically developed to have strong Bio-Insecticide

qualities while promoting a thriving permaculture.

HARVEST TIME, THE LADY VICTORIA MANGO

m a n g o i s t h e m o s t c o n s u m e d

The Lady Victoria has an Alphonso pulp which is considered the best in terms

of sweetness, richness and flavor. Lady Victoria also has a considerable shelf

life of a week after it is ripe, making it exportable. The Alphonso pulp is one

of the most expensive kinds of Mango pulps often called the “King of Mangos”

because the fruit is particularly creamy making Lady Victoria..... The Queen of

Tropical Fruit! Imagine a cross between peach, nectarine, apricot and Melon

with notes of Honey and Citrus.... that’s YOUR crop, and it is superior; the

Lady Victoria.

THE UNITED STATES IS THE HIGHEST IMPORTER OF MANGOS GLOBALLY, ACCOUNTING

FOR A STAGGERING 43.2% CONSUMPTION RATE OF THE WORLDS MANGO EXPORT

There are a lot of encouraging statistics around mango production particularly with the geographic placement of Panama, with respect to the world’s largest consumption zones. The United States is the highest importer of Mangos globally, accounting for a staggering 43.2% consumption rate of the world’s Mango Export with all indications of continued sharp growth, both in fresh mango, dehydrated mango and mango fruit and mango soft drinks.

Europe has also seen a large consumption increase of Mango over the last decade. Imports of Mango to Europe increased from 100,000 tons to 230,000 tons between 1999 and 2008 (source: Eurostat).

The growth in the consumption of mangoes in the developed world at large is driven by a number of factors including year-round availability and increasing consumer health preferences. In local developing markets as much of the world knows, it is an absolute dietary staple and by example, Panama as a country imports roughly 80% of the mangos processed within the nation-state.

The Mango fruit is consumed fresh, dehydrated, and/or in juice form as a dietary

staple for billions of people around the world. The mango skin as well can be

processed into a dietary extract or in lesser use, processed for animal feed.

The mango tree produces a variety of marketable value-added products

applicable to numerous industries. However, most notably, the mango fruit is

consumed as a rich source of vitamin A, flavonoids like beta-carotene, alpha-

carotene and beta-criptoxanthin. Mango is also a vital source of vitamin B6,

B9, vitamin C, vitamin E, pyridoxine (for brain health), protein, carbohydrates,

calcium and copper. Given the horticultural qualities, the fast growing global

market demand, and the strong price points for quality fresh and dehydrated

mango, it’s a clear choice for cultivation by the Simply Natural Investments team.

In addition, the diversity of product formulations and industry applications of

mango parts outside of the fleshy fruit, make it one of the most secured

agriculture investment opportunities available in the world.

SUSTAINABLE AND ECO-FRIENDLY

Simply Natural Investments is committed not only to providing strong economic value to its investors, but the team is committed to agricultural sustainability and environmental support; “Permaculture”.

An estimated 95% of herbicides and 98% of pesticides do not reach their intended target. Instead, the artificial chemicals runoff into the environment and is one of the leading causes of soil contamination, coral reef death, fresh water contamination, ozone depletion, degradation of our ecosystem animal wildlife and human health.

It is also noteworthy that many ‘super insects‘, ‘super fungi‘, and ‘super bacteria’ have grown resistant to the artificial chemical pesticides which represents a new major risk to the global agriculture industry. Who wants to eat that as a bi-product?

Simply Natural Investments is able to leverage generational farming knowledge with very specific expertise in Central American Agriculture and Climatology. More importantly, our Operations, Executive and Laboratory teams are reputed for scientific breakthroughs regarding: Scalable Organic Fertilizing, Plantation Scale Seedling Development, Farming and Agro-Nutritional Science to produce larger yields from crops. Perhaps more importantly our scalable expertise in utilizing Permaculture practices, greatly mitigate the use of toxic chemicals. We thrive on creating bigger and better bounties through natural and eco-sustainable practices. We choose to be better stewards of the earth’s resources, and the earth pays us dividends.

Simply Natural Investments has partnered with Campo Organico to ensure our agriculture investments are optimally managed. The Company manages farms in an ecofriendly and cost efficient way by replenishing their soils with nutrients while diminishing the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and fungicides.

The Company has developed processes and technologies to maximize the use of organic wastes for the production of fertilizers and extraction of natural products from plants to be utilized in agriculture as natural pesticides and fungicides.

The organization consistently invests generously in the research and develop-ment of new products to expand their applications and uses of new technologies in the field. By successfully incorporating these practices Campo Organico was initiated to become part of The City of Knowledge of Panama in 2013, an exclusive platform that focuses on boosting the innovative and competitive capacities of its members. Campo Organico´s Farm Management practices are grounded in permaculture techniques.

Permaculture is an agricultural management practice designed to align agricultural management with the laws of nature to increase profits and eco-sustainability. Using techniques that build rich top soil, attract beneficial insects, efficient use of water and fertilizer, Permaculture increases both farming productivity and agriculture land values.

FIELD OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT PARTNERSHIP

All land selected by the team is chosen only if determined to have rich top soil, access to clean fresh water reserves, and an ability to maintain productivity regardless of uncertain weather patterns caused by the impacts of climate change.

All company farms are operated in a professional manner using a series of processes, procedures and protocols developed by Campo Organico to properly account for rigorous attention, careful cultivation and generational consistency in delivering optimal products to market. The operations utilize the advancement in irrigation and data technology to ensure the ongoing success and improvement of the agriculture output. We recognize that as technology improves in the agricultural sector, that we stay ahead of the curve offering our own innovations and collaborating globally to improve the industry at large.

Simply Natural Investments has established itself in Panama due to our exhaustive due diligence confirming that few specific emerging market regions offer the highest returns, due to increasing global demand of the products grown within these regions as well as climate conditions most suited for a variety of crops. Additionally Panama is very well situated outside of climate disaster zones that often experience hurricanes, volcanic activity and earthquakes, making our planation operations a much safer haven for very long growth cycles.

Over 80% of future food and energy demands will come from the developing world; driven in large part by increase in wealth, dietary changes, and population growth. Our investors will be well placed to meet these demands on global supply.

Panama is blessed with geographic, economic and environmental advantages for investment in agriculture. The nation has a track record of strong economic growth and secured asset protection laws. Additionally, the logistical infrastructure and national stability make Panama a prime investment target within the Latin American emerging market zone.

Panama is also the travel and business hub for Latin America with easy access and comfortable accommodations for international visitors. For centuries, Panama has served as a meeting point for the North, South, East and West. Panama experiences tropical weather, multiple micro climates, world class fresh water reserves, and rich soils. Yet Panama’s agricultural industry is underdeveloped due the nation’s historical industry focus on other sectors such as finance, transport logistics, tourism and service. Currently, ONLY 4% of Panama’s farmable land is in production thereby presenting opportunities for the Simply Natural Investments team to acquire the best agriculture properties in Panama before it’s too late. Join us, be a part of feeding the world!

SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM

Ms. Lillian O’ Sullivan - Vice President of Business DevelopmentMs. O’ Sullivan has been immersed in the world of organic farming since birth, growing up in a predominantly agricultural area in the Irish countryside. Her parents cultivate their own organic fruit and vegetables using natural methods passed down from generation to generation. After completing a Masters degree in Marketing Ms. O’ Sullivan went on to gain international experience in food marketing and business development. She began her career with a fast paced marketing position with a leading food and drinks company in France, focusing on building brand awareness and product premiumization.

Ms. O’ Sullivan supported the market entry strategies for organic food companies, successfully matching client companies with suitable distributors. Ms. O’ Sullivan speaks 4 languages fluently.

Mr. Gilberto Alemán - Chief Agricultural EngineerMr Alemán started in the agriculture sector in 1975 cultivating plantation scale Papaya. Awarded sponsorship from the Universidad de Panamá Agricultural Department, Mr. Alemán designed and developed a study to produce from Papaya, industrially scalable natural enzymes with the same catalytic functions as “chemical” enzymes. With 30 years of research and development, Mr. Alemán successfully completed the entire design and catalogue process and managed hundreds of hectares of Papaya cultivation while achieving exceptional scientific breakthroughs. In 1995, he began the development project of the Lady Victoria Mango cultivar, named after his daughter. His vision was to breed an Alphonso pulp Mango specie that could naturally resist pests, bacteria and fungus that widely exist in the tropics but also have the qualities and taste widely sought after in the Alphonso Pulp category. Having expertise in eco-pathology and enzymes, he achieved a superior fruit product that required little to no chemical pesticide usage through its life-cycle. To achieve this, Mr. Alemán began naturally breading several international commercial Alphonso Pulp types with local breeds to obtain the desired attributes of the Lady Victoria by grafting tissues from one Mango tree and inserting those into the seed of another so that the two sets of vascular tissues join together. After almost 20 years of this regimen, it has become a tree that breeds high yield by result, and with thicker skin to achieve insect and pathogenic resistance. Mr. Alemán also, has to his credit, the management and design build of several commercial farms as well as authored agro-industrial processes in use throughout the world.

TESTIMONIALS

We have eaten two out of the three Mangoes you gave us and I can say with confidence that…these are the best Mangoes we have ever eaten. Really a special treat. These would be a big hit in the U.S. market at a Whole Foods type retailer.

- Todd & Susan S.

This beauty impresses you with outrageous taste and texture when eaten. Create a juice out this fruit - Wow, it has a flavor and creaminess like no other on the market.

- Tim R.

Possibly the finest mango that I have ever tasted. It was creamy, tasty and juicy....Being in the Navy for 13 years, I have eaten mangos in much of Asia, South Pacific and Hawaii. This was,no doubt, the best....

- Lee S.

“ “

” ” We thoroughly enjoyed our 2nd visit to the Mango farm and must say that our initial fears have turned into confident enthusiasm for the project. We believe our investment is in good hands and that Alan and Brian have a solid vision where they want to take the farm as well as the knowledge and experience to make it happen. Our thoughts are now that we are slightly underinvested.

- Kimberly and Mark P.

I got to see a lot more (of the plantation) this time and I’m even more convinced that investing with SNI is a great idea. You folks make it more like family n’ friends than business. It’s going to be not only a successful business venture, it will be a successful neighborhood too. I’m inclined to go home and get my work boots n’ Carharts packed up and come back to join the crew. Press on, fellas. You’re doing great.

Q: HOW IS THIS INVESTMENT SECURED?A: Your investment is asset backed through the full title ownership of the land, trees and agricultural technology placed on your investment lot. Additionally we have selected Panamas leading farm Management Company to implement and maintain the project from start to finish. With limited availability of land in Panama due to its size and its ever expanding residential and commercial real estate development, your land asset will realize strong capital appreciation year after year, but more importantly, your Mango farm will provide demonstrable returns of income year after year, for decades. Investors can rest assured that not only will this project offer an excellent income stream in your life time, but will provide excellent capital appreciation for generations. Q: HOW ARE MY RETURNS ASSURED?A: The local and global demand for Mango produce cannot be underestimated and is growing at alarming rates. Utilizing modern farming technology such as drip irrigation systems, superior mango strains such as the Lady Victoria, bio-sustainable fertilization systems and full-time management; Simply Natural Investments is optimizing your production output for maximum yield. Limited supply world-wide offers strong growth projections and likely price increases over the longevity of the project. Simply Natural Investments has also based the projected returns on conservative, local, factual sales prices of the raw fruit, not taking into consideration cost inflation, additional crop integration, and higher productivity techniques. Additionally, Intercropping opportunities are also under exploration to provide the investor with even higher returns than that stated in our projections with Mango Cultivation.

Q: WHEN CAN I EXPECT MY RETURNS?A: Mango production returns will be achieved in year 4, with full production levels achieved from year 5 onwards. Simply Natural Investments goal is to provide clients with higher returns than those stated in the projections, as we have adopted an “under promise, over deliver” philosophy. Simply Natural Investments will also be undertaking intercropping opportunities to maximize the returns to investors and decrease the waiting period for income. We have conservatively estimated a 2% return in years 2 and 3 however we aim to deliver higher percentages of income during this period. Returns from the produce will be paid on an annual basis at the time the harvest is completed and sold.

Our Farm Management Firm is 4th generation, and committed to many more generations.
