Current construction pricing policy - 16 October 2026

Construction estimate C = measured gross floor area (m²) × applicable Accra benchmark (USD/m²). Resale construction component = C × 1.50. The 50% increase includes the resale markup; it is not a separate inflation reserve. This replaces the previous construction uplift and revenue-margin formula. No additional automatic markup or contingency is stacked on this calculation.

Measure each apartment's practical net area and allocate walls, circulation, cores and common building areas once to determine gross construction area. Existing concept sizes and 70% net-to-gross efficiency are illustrative until measured by the design team; they do not establish code compliance.

Land, site preparation, infrastructure, fixtures/appliances and fitout excluded from the benchmark, professional fees, taxes and financing remain separate, reconciled cost lines. Preliminary combined amount = 1.50 × construction cost + allocated land + other separately established costs. No second markup is assumed on those separate lines. Final sale offers remain pending complete costs and approved layouts.

Owner's latest land planning assumptions: Savannah / Zion Trust Estates US$20,000/acre; in-town Civic Center US$30,000/acre (17 acres = US$510,000); other development land US$25,000/acre. These are owner allowances, not verified acquisition costs or public land offers.

One Person, One Acre · Revised first-year budget

Individual membership adds $100 once: $4,870 including membership. Ten acres: $46,200 core + $1,500 rent + $500 group membership = $48,200. Preparation already includes its clearing/plowing allowance; the same machine cost or worker wage is not added again.

40% down on core $4,620 = $1,848, followed by twelve $231 payments. If annual rent is included in the funded value: $1,908 down and twelve $238.50 payments. Membership is separate. Fruit-tree extras and other agreed inputs change the documented total and installment amounts.

Additional fruit trees are separately costed only beyond the inputs already covered by the $1,000 planting budget. At the earlier provisional $5–10/seedling, 50 extra seedlings add $250–500; 100 add $500–1,000. Crop spacing and supplier quotations govern quantities and prices. Irrigation, fertilizer, additional materials, storage, special equipment and future crop-cycle input replenishment remain separately assessed.

These are the sponsor's revised budget inputs. The 20% annual net-return objective is conditional on realized earnings: $924 on $4,620 core or $954 on $4,770 rent-inclusive funding, not a guarantee. Six-month crop cash may offset future payments or be reinvested after reconciliation; fruit trees have their own maturation schedules.

Estate management and application review

Royal Savannah and Diaspora Community Development Trust is the designated management and development-review body for Zion Trust Damongo Estates. Individual development, residential, land-use and investment applications are received through the project forms for Trust and development-committee review.

Members are invited to express interest in joining development committees and participating in board-of-directors selections. Committee membership and board appointments follow a documented review and selection process.

Your Savannah home plus five acres for agricultural development

Buyers of Savannah apartments, condominiums and housing plots receive an additional five-acre agricultural development land allocation through an accompanying lease agreement. Use the allocation to participate in agricultural investment, development and related industry projects, with opportunities to develop income-producing activities.

Lease rate: US$20 per acre per year · five acres: US$100 annually · initial term: five years. Base land rent totals US$500 over the initial five-year term. The lease is renewable and extendable with the investment, with renewal and extension terms recorded in the agreement.

The agricultural allocation is leased land alongside the residential purchase. The agreement will identify the parcel, land-use rights, commencement date, payment schedule and investment/development arrangements. Cultivation, management, infrastructure and other development costs are separate from the stated land rent. Income depends on the selected project and actual operations; no fixed income is promised.

One Person, One Acre

Cooperating community participants would be employed on one-acre agricultural production plots under agreed farming, supplier and procurement arrangements. The objective is to connect productive employment and community development with local food and herbal supply, processing, distribution and wider industry benefits.

Land planning figure: 31,360 acres — seven miles by seven miles, or 49 square miles. This is the stated gross development area; confirmed cultivable acreage must account for roads, housing, aviation facilities, utilities, community uses and environmental protection. The figure does not establish 31,360 jobs or production-ready plots.

Townhouse plots, gated villes, full Wi-Fi and off-grid energy

For a ten-acre gross block with six net plot acres, townhouse capacity is 48, 54 or 60 homes at 8, 9 or 10 plots/acre. The existing 36-plot Mississauga schematic is now the standard-home option, not the townhouse option. Use its local-loop and odd/even-numbering approach for the separate townhouse layout; its smaller townhouse parcels and exact drive/parking arrangement still need a drawing. At assumed 160 m² home GFA and earlier $1,800–2,400/m² plus 38% shared allowances, the 54-home townhouse block costs approximately $21.5–28.6M. These analyst allowances exclude land/tax/finance/bulk systems and are not bids. Final adopted unit mix must replace the earlier apartment capacity scenario.

Each ville: gated residential security communities

Each of the 25 ville themes has a proposed residential security precinct, with a primary staffed access gate and a separate emergency/service access point. Use gate IDs Bxx-G01 and Bxx-G02, resident credentials, visitor registration, vehicle queuing, pedestrian access, gatehouse/security patrols and communications. Reserve about 0.5 acre per ville for access/security facilities inside its existing road/service allowances (12.5 acres citywide), subject to final layout; this is not additional plot land. All dwelling clusters, including apartment courts, townhouse compounds and estates, receive controlled entry design. New Kingston's cultural districts may host smaller residential precincts around public facilities.

Public main streets, lake promenade, schools, parks, shopping and regional civic facilities remain publicly accessible through their own entrances; residential security gates do not close the public road network. Emergency responders need independent access, manual override and backup power. Actual boundary fencing, gate sites, staffing and operating costs require the adopted residential site layout. Security arrangements are a design provision, not a guarantee of crime prevention.

Entire community: independent off-grid power

The design brief is a fully off-grid city energy system with no dependence on utility-grid imports. Plan coordinated borough microgrids with solar roofs, ground-mounted solar, grid-forming battery storage, and dispatchable biomass backup. Geothermal is an option only after resource/ground investigations: shallow ground-source cooling is distinct from electricity-generating geothermal, and neither receives a guaranteed electrical output in this model.

Illustrative energy test for the previous 136,224-home core scenario: assume 10 kWh/home/day plus 25% nonresidential allowance, giving 1.703 GWh/day and 71.0 MW average. The earlier 340.6 MW value is a diversified peak assumption, not average energy use. Candidate system: 600 MWp solar (200 rooftop + 400 ground), 1,300 MWh battery nameplate with approximately 1,040 MWh usable at 80% depth of discharge and about 400 MW battery power, plus 40 MW biomass. At an assumed 4 kWh/kWp/day solar yield, output is 2.4 GWh/day before an assumed 20% downstream loss/reserve factor, or 1.92 GWh/day after it. The assumed solar yield is not a measured Damongo forecast.

This test does not establish year-round off-grid reliability: storage provides only about 14.7 average-load hours, and 40 MW biomass does not support the whole assumed 340.6 MW peak or full average load alone. Hourly/seasonal solar, demand, outages, battery cycling, fuel sustainability and extended low-sun periods must determine more storage/generation, load management and critical-load service. Airport, fuel-storage processing, industrial loads and future expansion are additional demand studies. Biomass requires verified feedstock, emissions controls, water and logistics.

Earmark 2,000 acres for candidate 400 MWp ground solar at an assumed 5 acres/MWp, plus 100 acres for energy hubs, from the already reserved 5,000-acre expansion window, leaving 2,900 expansion acres for other needs. Rooftop solar does not add ground acreage. Actual solar row spacing, airport glare/height constraints, fuel separation and utility access must determine siting; these energy reservations are within the estate, not additional land purchases.

Gross generation/storage allowance: $854–1,390M base, or $1,093–1,779M including 8% engineering and 20% contingency. Rates are analyst-selected placeholders: solar $0.7–1.1M/MWp, batteries $0.18–0.30M/MWh, biomass $3–5M/MW, controls/integration $80–140M. No current supplier quote is implied. Distribution/substations remain in the separate infrastructure program; reconcile overlapping controls, fees and on-site services before combining. Excludes land, taxes, finance, geothermal, fuel and ongoing operations, battery replacements and abnormal works. This supersedes any earlier assumption that generation could rely on grid reinforcement.

Community-wide Wi-Fi and communications

Provide fiber backbone and wireless coverage planning for all residential precincts, public destinations, gates and emergency services, powered by the off-grid network. The earlier 500 Wi-Fi nodes are a starting allowance, not evidence of complete coverage. Survey indoor/outdoor signal levels, backhaul availability, subscriber concurrency and resilience; add access points and capacity as needed. Separate resident/guest networks from security and emergency operational systems. Internet connectivity still requires external communications backhaul; electrical independence does not mean isolation from the internet.

General technical references: DOE microgrid systems and Global Solar Atlas methodology. These support the study approach, not the assumed cost rates or a certified site design.

Mississauga-inspired residential layout and plot rules

Standard residential land is subdivided into six plots per net plot acre (674.48 m² each); estate land into four plots per net plot acre (1,011.71 m² each). Roads, parks, utility reserves and setbacks are allocated before applying this rate. Gross city acreage is not treated as entirely saleable land.

The revised ten-acre internal block provides six net acres of residential plots and four acres for circulation, green space and services: 36 plots rather than the previous 64 smaller plots. Land budget: 24,281.14 m² plots, 9,000 m² roads/access, 5,000 m² green space and 2,187.42 m² utilities/flexible space. Each plot accommodates a concept 160 m² two-storey home; plot area is not house floor area.

Four loops retain Mississauga-inspired Glen Erin Drive, Windwood Drive, Battleford Road and Aquitaine Avenue, nine plots per loop. Odd addresses 101–109 oppose even addresses 102–108. Each address includes borough, block and unique street ID. Example: 101 Glen Erin Drive, Block D / B16-LR01, Canadaville / Toronto, Zion Trust Damongo City Estates. These are proposed Damongo numbers, not copied Mississauga civic addresses. Local-loop design can be adapted across boroughs with each borough's cultural names; main-street eight-storey commercial frontage is retained separately.

New ten-acre house-block cost: $14.3–19.1M for 36 homes at 160 m² each, using the earlier assumed $1,800–2,400/m² plus 38% local-services/fees/contingency uplift. This is a concept allowance, not a quote. Land, tax, finance and bulk systems excluded. It replaces the earlier 64-home/$25.4–33.9M example. Compared with a 288-home internal apartment block, this option reduces that block's capacity by 252 homes; population, shopping, utilities and total cost must be recalculated for the adopted mix.

Waterfront estate plots now follow four per acre: the existing 20-estate-home option requires five net acres of plots (20,234.28 m²), replacing its former 500 m² plot sizes. Within its ten-acre gross block, retain 1,800 m² tower footprint, 6,000 m² access, 5,000 m² park/promenade, 5,000 m² parking and 2,434.28 m² flexible/utility space; house footprints are within estate plots. Its 196 tower apartments plus 20 estate homes remain the capacity comparison, with 220 m² estate home GFA unchanged. The reduced public-space allowance and actual lot/road fit require waterfront redesign; the old small-estate-plot drawing is superseded.

Flexible city expansion — 10,000-acre core with additional land as needed

The 10,000-acre city layout is now the first-phase core rather than a fixed development ceiling. Earmark up to 5,000 additional acres from the wider 31,360-acre estate for staged expansion, allowing treatment plants, utility corridors, airport/approach needs, community facilities and future housing/industry to gain land as feasibility and growth require. The 2,000, 4,000 and 5,000-acre scenarios are planning options, not compulsory buildout or a final upper limit.

Current bookkeeping reserves 5,000 acres for potential expansion, separate from the 10,000-acre core and separate external 500-acre fuel reserve, leaving 15,860 acres unassigned to those reservations. If the city adopts the full 15,000-acre envelope, that same land moves into the city; it is not counted twice. No expansion boundary or extra residential count is drawn yet.

Increase wastewater/solid-waste land beyond initial 30/10-acre allowances when process sizing requires it; reserve additional industrial separation and drainage space. Airport runway, approach and safety land can likewise be enlarged following feasibility. Detailed parcel boundaries and the compatible relationship between airport, fuel storage, lake and neighborhoods govern the expansion layout. The current approximately 490,000-person scenario and infrastructure cost range cover the original 10,000-acre core only. Added housing, utility capacity and infrastructure cost must be recalculated for each expansion phase rather than assumed proportional to acreage.

This section supersedes earlier wording that the city must remain at exactly 10,000 acres. The core allocation tables still reconcile to 10,000 acres; their “no additional acreage” statements refer to those first-phase allocations. Expansion is authorized for concept planning but remains subject to surveyed land, tenure, siting and design requirements.

Waste treatment and city infrastructure

Reserve 30 acres for wastewater treatment/sludge handling and 10 acres for solid-waste transfer, sorting and recycling within New Kingston's existing 200-acre service/access allowance. The remaining allowance is 20 acres for water/power/telecom compounds, 120 acres for district roads/access and 20 acres for drainage, protective buffers and expansion. These are program allowances, not verified facility footprints; the city total remains 10,000 acres. Additional land may be required after process sizing.

Consider a location in the lake-adjacent service zone, with physical separation from recreation and waterfront homes. Lake proximity is not a siting approval: use topography, gravity sewer routing, flood levels, prevailing wind, odors, groundwater and water-quality protection to select the site. No raw sewage, waste leachate or untreated runoff is proposed to enter the lake. Reuse treated water for appropriate nonpotable purposes only after treatment and quality assessment; an outfall route is not selected. Solid-waste land is not a landfill allowance; hazardous, clinical and fuel-related wastes need separate handling arrangements.

Protect treatment assets from flooding and provide backup power, sludge containment, separate stormwater/sanitary systems and secure service access. Technical reference: EPA flood-resilience guidance, used as general engineering context, not Ghana permitting criteria.

Gross citywide infrastructure allowance — USD

All quantities and unit rates in the accompanying CSV are analyst-selected planning assumptions, not observed Ghana prices, contractor quotations or measured bills of quantities. Road lengths test 60 km arterial and 240 km local; actual network length and widths require the revised airport/tank-farm master plan. Lighting counts assume two-sided arterial and one-sided local installation at roughly 35 m spacing, not a photometric design. Civil drawings must reconcile right-of-way and existing block service land before final costs.

Water 103.9 ML/day, sewage 70.6 ML/day and electrical load 340.6 MW refer to the earlier approximately 490,000-person full-development scenario. They are average planning loads, not final peak/process capacities. Wastewater cost allowance does not establish that the 30-acre reserve can accommodate that capacity. A staged or decentralized treatment strategy and additional land may be needed. Water-source availability, peak factors and industrial/airport/fuel loads need separate studies. Power costs exclude new generation and upstream grid reinforcement.

Communications provision: fiber along utility corridors, redundant uplinks where available, approximately 500 initial public Wi-Fi nodes, network core, regional service connectivity and separate operational links for emergency services. Household broadband and public Wi-Fi capacity require coverage, spectrum and provider plans. Airtime/backhaul subscriptions, network operations and cybersecurity operating costs are excluded from capital allowances.

This is a gross system-level cost plan. Previous apartment-block budgets already include a 15% local site/services allowance: roads, drains, utilities and lighting must be reconciled against those allowances before creating a consolidated budget. The infrastructure range is not simply added to the earlier block totals. Excludes land, taxes, finance, escalation, operating costs, major abnormal ground/flood works, lake excavation/dams and airport/tank-farm-specific infrastructure. Waste facility equipment is included as a broad allowance; technology and fleet schedules remain unpriced.

City balance: airport, tank farm, sports, attractions and future growth

The reconciled city balance is 2,380 acres. The latest “2,388” reference is treated as a wording correction, not an eight-acre increase. Confirmed allocation: 500 acres for the Damongo Commercial Regional Airport and 500 acres for the Tema tank-farm development, totaling 1,000 acres inside the city balance. The separate 500-acre fuel-storage reserve outside the city remains recorded.

The 1,000-acre airport/tank-farm split is confirmed; the 1,380-acre remainder uses preliminary design allowances: 120 acres for a stadium/indoor arena campus, 150 acres for sports park and football fields, 30 acres for an Olympic-style pool training campus, 200 acres for theme parks/attractions and 880 acres for future community projects and city expansion. These draft suballocations can be refined without changing the city total.

Stadium/arena provision includes event access, athlete areas, parking/loading and ancillary public facilities; seating capacity is not set. Sports park includes football training and match fields, recreation and accessible walking routes. The aquatic campus proposes a 50 m training pool plus warm-up/teaching pools, changing, coaching, plant and visitor access; this is a concept provision, with no claim of Olympic certification. Theme-park and attraction plots can be developed through proposed community/partner projects, subject to planning, operating arrangements and demand.

The 880-acre future reserve is available for community-led development and phased city expansion based on growth. Individual, group and organizational participation can proceed through the existing land-use application and project review process; no plot title, sale or tenure grant is made by this plan. Future changes must reconcile roads, utilities and environmental capacity with the original 10,000 acres.

The earlier designation of the entire 2,380-acre balance jointly for the airport and tank farm is superseded by this schedule. The earlier full-city housing estimate does not include additional homes from the future expansion reserve. Current block grid is a planning placeholder: airport runway/approach geometry, contiguous site assembly, fuel buffers and lake relationships require master-plan redesign. The 500-acre airport allowance is a reservation, not evidence that a particular runway/aircraft capacity fits. Sports, airport, tank-farm and attraction capital/operating budgets are excluded from the previous apartment/mall cost ranges.

Estate land balance and fuel-storage reserve

The retained estate planning area is 31,360 acres (seven miles by seven miles). The latest reference to “35,000-plus acres” is not substituted without a revised survey or land schedule.

Inside the 10,000-acre city, 2,380 acres are now allocated as 500 acres for the Tema tank farm, 500 acres for Damongo Commercial Regional Airport, 500 acres for sports/attractions, and 880 acres for future community development and city expansion. The physical sites, runway orientation, approach areas and safety buffers remain unassigned; the city grid requires redesign for these uses. This is a component of the city acreage, not additional estate land. Existing housing assumptions, the New Kingston lake district, service stations, emergency facilities, education, parks and religious-site reservations remain allocated. Revised zoning must determine compatible activities and buffers.

The separate 500-acre fuel-storage reserve is drawn from the 21,360 acres previously outside the city concept, leaving 20,860 acres outside both. It supports the proposed Tema–Damongo fuel-storage project. Site boundary, transport connections, storage capacity and construction budget remain to be defined; no airport, tank capacity or additional project acreage is implied. The Damongo Commercial Regional Airport is now proposed within the combined 2,380-acre city reserve. Additional estate land for approach corridors, expansion or associated facilities would require separate allocation. The 500-acre fuel-storage reserve outside the city remains separate; it is not deducted again from the 2,380 acres. No airport or tank-farm layout or operating capacity is established by this land reservation.

Estate and city figures are concept-planning allocations pending survey and land agreements. Agricultural and industrial allocations require appropriate separation from residential, public water, medical and education uses. Fuel storage and any airport development need separate siting, engineering and approvals. These future projects are outside the earlier residential/mall cost estimates.

City Parks, Schools, Institutional Education & Religious Sites

Additional reservations within the 10,000-acre city: 100 acres for five school campuses beside 100 acres of neighborhood city parks, a 40-acre institutional/vocational education campus, and 50 acres of religious/community plots. Religious sites are open to individual applicants and organizations for proposed acquisition or long-term lease, subject to verified land rights and agreements.

The combined service and civic reservations total 500 acres, leaving 2,380 acres of the earlier nonresidential allocation for future uses. No acreage is added to the city total.

See the park, education and religious-site plan · Apply for land use or participation

Regional Fuel, Automotive, Medical & Emergency Services

210 acres are reserved within the existing nonresidential allocation: five 40-acre regional service campuses plus a 10-acre police/fire/ambulance coordination headquarters. Each campus reserves sites for two fuel stations with garages and convenience stores, an automotive service area, a supermarket/medical plaza, a police base, a fire/ambulance base, and shared access/buffers.

View allocations and the service plan. These are draft land reservations; operating capacity and response coverage require separate studies. Service-facility construction and equipment are outside the earlier apartment and mall cost totals.

Phased city costing · owner-directed low-rise scenario

Twenty noncentral boroughs plus five New Kingston areas: a 19,200-home low-rise test yields US$1.126B in quantified land, servicing and house allowances; US$1.2934B including a 15% contingency on servicing and homes. Garages and major civic, industrial, lake, energy and high-rise facilities are separately budgeted. This is an alternative to the earlier apartment-capacity scenario.

Three City Block Designs · Draft C

Main-street commercial frontage on both sides, with eight-storey buildings containing shops on the ground floor and apartments above. Six-storey internal apartment blocks extend inward; New Kingston waterfront sites mix 15-storey towers, ground-floor commercial units and estate plots.

Indicative ten-acre block capacities: 340 homes for mixed use, 288 for internal residential, 216 for waterfront. Concept costs: USD $106.5–138.5 million, $85.8–111.6 million and $101.6–136.2 million respectively, including allowances for local services, fees and contingency. Land, tax, finance, lake works and bulk city infrastructure are excluded.

Illustrative full development: 136,224 homes and about 490,000 residents, requiring phased delivery and revised zoning. New Kingston central mall concept: 80,000 m² lettable retail in 100,000 m² building floor area on a 40-acre site, expandable from a 20,000 m² lettable first phase. This serves community demand; it is not designed for all residents to attend at once.

Country-labelled boroughs, heritage streets & an invitation to participate

Explore the revised 25-borough graph with country and community labels, proposed historical and cultural street names, 35 invitation drafts and a researched institutional outreach register. New Kingston retains the five central heritage themes.

Proposed naming for consultation. No foreign-government or community endorsement is implied. Existing land-use reservations and plot IDs remain controlling.

New Kingston Lake District & 25 Boroughs · Draft B

Borough naming now follows the regional ville convention throughout. New Kingston remains the shared central lake district name; the five underlying cultural borough references retain their ville names.

New Kingston is the city's proposed central waterfront destination: a man-made lake, public park and water reserve, waterfront homes, entertainment attractions and shopping center. Lake depth, water source, flood management, dam requirements and waterfront setbacks require feasibility studies; this is not a construction plan.

The city concept now carries 25 cultural borough themes and 250 internal street naming entries, including 50 deferred by the new lake district. Downtown and uptown reference streets are prioritized, including Toronto's Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue East/West, New York's First and Second Streets/Avenues and Flatbush Avenue, and Bridgetown's Broad Street and Swan Street. Heritage and community names supplement the reference streets where needed.

New Kingston occupies five central borough areas (B08, B12, B13, B14 and B18): 2,000 gross acres comprising a proposed 600-acre man-made lake across B13/B14, 800 acres of surrounding park, 400 acres for waterfront properties, entertainment, shopping and civic uses, and 200 acres for access and utilities. These are draft program allocations, with waterfront plots still to be designed. The other 20 boroughs each retain 36 ten-acre planning blocks, giving 720 blocks citywide. Fifty former internal streets in the central district are deferred naming references; 200 streets remain plotted. Borough themes include countries, cities, territories and Indigenous communities; they are not 25 sovereign countries. The named communities welcome all residents and imply no official affiliation or endorsement.

Jamaicaville heritage streets

Marcus Garvey Boulevard; Nanny of the Maroons Avenue; Samuel Sharpe Road; Paul Bogle Street; George William Gordon Drive; Bob Marley Way are proposed for the B01 heritage corridors. Earlier place-name references are superseded for these proposed major corridors; final street registration follows the adopted layout.

Canadaville / Toronto and New Yorkville street layouts

The Greater Caribbean borough includes island/territory avenues; additional Caribbean plaza names remain proposed for later mapping. First Nations and Native American borough names are tentative pending consultation with Six Nations of the Grand River, Navajo Nation and Cherokee Nation. No naming consent or partnership is represented. First Nationville — Canada and First Nationville — U.S. are cultural borough names only and do not establish legal reserve status.

Reference names are adapted to the Damongo grid rather than copied city geometry. Borough-qualified addresses and unique street IDs distinguish repeated names. This is a naming and planning draft, not surveyed residential allocations or a construction plan.

10,000-Acre City Concept · Draft A

Within the overall seven-mile-by-seven-mile, 31,360-acre estate, this original draft adapts selected Kingston and Saint Andrew street names to a straightened road schematic. It is not a traced or exact duplicate of the Jamaican street map.

25 districts of 400 gross acres contain 900 numbered 10-acre planning blocks, totalling 9,000 acres. A further 1,000 acres covers roads and shared reserves. The remaining 21,360 acres of the estate is outside this city concept. Draft districts include residential, mixed-use, industry, civic and park uses; not all planning blocks are offered residential plots.

AutoCAD-compatible DXF uses metres and a local origin, with no surveyed geographic coordinates. Actual residential plot locations and approved land allocations remain forthcoming. Boundaries, terrain, drainage, road engineering, utilities and planning approvals must precede a construction or registration plan.

Reference street names and the Half Way Tree junction motif were checked against the National Library of Jamaica and Kingston route maps.

The One Person, One Acre contract-farming program is designated as the premier proposed project within the Damongo City development plan. It invites cooperating community growers, contract offtakers, processors and prospective financing partners to help develop seasonal production and long-term orchards.

Offtakers and proposed token participation

Contract offtakers are invited to specify crops, quantities, quality standards, harvest windows, delivery points and proposed pricing. Public participation through investment tokens is a proposed financing route: token value, underlying rights, use of proceeds, asset backing, eligibility, transfers, redemption and investor disclosures must be established in project-specific documentation and applicable approvals before an offering or funds collection. This page accepts inquiries through the existing proposal channels; it does not sell tokens or promise returns.

Contract Offtake & Continuous Acreage Development

Contracted buyers may receive a price reduction of up to 30% from the agreed farm-price benchmark, as specified in each offtake agreement. The project’s instructed 40% retention envelope is now split into 10 percentage points for the sponsor yield pool and 30 percentage points for internal crop development, supporting new acreage and permanent fruit crops.

The 30% buyer reduction is a price discount; the three 10% allocations above are shares of crop yield. The 40% is the instructed retention envelope; the sponsor pool is carved out of that envelope, rather than added to it. They require a common valuation and cost reconciliation before a realized margin can be calculated; subtracting these percentages alone does not establish a 40% cash profit. The agreements must identify the farm-price benchmark and a consistent yield valuation and retention basis. The earlier 40% internal-development-only target is superseded by this 10% / 30% split.

One acre at a time

1. Clear and plow one acre at a time, then plant seasonal crops.
2. Progress that acreage into permanent fruit-crop structures, with suitable seasonal intercropping during establishment.
3. Continue clearing, plowing and planting successive new acres while maintaining previously established plots.
4. Build on the 100-acre plan each year, with internal crop-development resources supporting further production.

Cumulative acreage includes earlier plots; seasonal intercrops do not create additional land. This illustrates annual acreage expansion, not a guaranteed compound growth rate or an assumption that new orchards bear fruit immediately. Plowing one acre at a time describes the plot sequence; the current cost projection assumes the plow completes four acres per machine-day.

Diaspora Land Use & Acquisition Application

Apply to join the Damongo land-interest network. Tell us where you are from and what you seek: agricultural land use, a long-term lease, acquisition/ownership consideration, or future residential development. Submission is an inquiry for assessment, not a land grant, title transfer, paid membership or investment acceptance.

Residential plots and development locations are forthcoming. Their details will be added when provided by the project team; applicants may register interest now.

Industrial Hemp · Separate 1,000-Acre Portfolio

A proposed 1,000-acre industrial hemp production allocation is included within the assessed Damongo agricultural land plan, not added to the 31,360-acre gross development area. Individual participation is structured by one acre; organizations and groups may participate in 10-acre blocks. Mixed participation must total no more than the approved 1,000 acres.

These are preparation and illustrative labour costs, not complete investment prices. Hemp seed, clearing, irrigation, crop care, testing, harvest, drying, transport, processing and working capital require separate quotes. The fruit-tree and vegetable-seed allowances do not price hemp planting. Labour must be reassessed for the chosen fibre, grain or dual-purpose system.

Industrial development pathways

Separate cultivation and processing budgets will track seed and inputs, acreage, harvest quantities, saleable recovery rates, plant throughput, equipment and buildings, utilities, staffing and signed offtake specifications. Revenue equals saleable product quantity × agreed buyer price; avoid counting raw stalk or seed sales again where those materials are consumed in processing. No production yields, equipment prices or returns are assumed without supporting quotes and trials.

Licensing: Ghana’s regulated program covers cannabis with no more than 0.3% THC under relevant licences. Cultivation, processing and other applicable permissions, crop testing and suitable varieties must be established before operations. No project licence is represented as secured here. NACOC requirements.

Industrial references: USDA hemp applications and materials and co-products research.

The hemp portfolio will maintain separate participant allocations, cultivation and processing accounts, offtake agreements and distribution reconciliations. Existing crop-token terms are proposed only where expressly incorporated into that cohort’s documentation; a processing-facility investment requires its own term and repayment plan.

Initial Farming Contracts: Timelines, Payments & FOB Delivery

Each initial contract-farming/offtake agreement will include a dated production and payment schedule covering commencement, crop establishment, production milestones, harvest and the delivery window.

Draft contract term: The Buyer shall pay a mobilization deposit of at least forty percent (40%) of the agreed Contract Value at commencement under the contract schedule. The mobilization deposit funds land preparation, clearing, plowing, the initial purchase of seeds or seedlings, and mobilization of the human resources needed to commence and execute development under the contract. This deposit shall be credited toward the Contract Value and included in the cumulative eighty percent (80%) payable before delivery; it is not an additional fee. Further instalments shall be paid on the dates and production milestones stated in the contract schedule, bringing total payments to eighty percent (80%) of the Contract Value prior to delivery. The outstanding balance shall be payable upon delivery against the delivery evidence specified in the agreement.

Delivery term: FOB — Free On Board, [named port of shipment serving the production location], Incoterms® 2020. For the FOB shipment, delivery occurs when the goods are loaded on board the vessel nominated by the Buyer at that named port. The final payment is due at that delivery event against the agreed on-board shipment documentation. The port, shipment window, vessel nomination and documentary requirements must be completed in each contract.

ICC reference: FOB delivery. These are recorded draft contract terms for incorporation into the definitive farming/offtake agreement.

Seasonal Crops, Intercropping and Long-Term Orchards

Maize and corn are the same crop and are counted once. The proposed seasonal mix includes maize, cassava, pumpkins, peppers and locally selected vegetables, with legumes such as cowpea, groundnut and soybean assessed for rotation. Mango and cashew are priority orchard candidates for local assessment.

Seasonal crops may be assessed between young orchard rows where spacing, sunlight, water and root competition allow. Intercropping uses the same physical acreage: it must not be added again as new land. Pumpkin vines require space and management; planting within vines or orchard rows is subject to an agronomist’s layout.

Coconut, oil palm for oil and other byproducts, palms for wine, coffee and cocoa remain requested trial candidates. Suitable palm species and harvesting methods must be identified separately. They are not assumed suitable across Damongo’s savannah land. Local water, soil and climate tests must support any allocation; orchard cash flow must account for establishment and non-bearing years.

Evidence: Ghana MOFA identifies maize, cassava, vegetables, mango and cashew among northern-region crops, supporting their assessment as candidates rather than proof of this site’s suitability. FAO describes cocoa as a humid-region crop and oil palm as requiring high rainfall; COCOBOD and FAO also document coffee and coconut water requirements.

Zero extras mean no additional quotation has been entered, not that irrigation, fertilizer or extra services are free. Membership is separate. This model is first-year funding, not a crop-revenue forecast or recurring six-month charge.

Agricultural assessment for the proposed plan

This is an assessment scope and preliminary planning conclusion, not a completed feasibility study. The agricultural program is proposed as a phased component alongside the existing aviation, MRO, training and city infrastructure concept.

Proposed implementation

1. Confirm land and community agreements and prepare the agricultural land-use assessment.
2. Design and cost a pilot with agreed participants, crops, one-acre plots and buyers.
3. Execute farming, employment, supplier and procurement terms; establish inputs, training and delivery arrangements.
4. Review actual production, employment and market outcomes while progressing one acre at a time and building successive annual phases on the 100-acre plan.

Project costs, yields, employment numbers and commencement dates remain to be established through that assessment and the definitive agreements.
