Investments

Infrastructure, real estate, and tourism have been typical investment sectors for nearly half a century, however a pandemic, broken supply chains and increased costs for imported food are rapidly changing investment criteria for governments of island nations. Investment in forestry and agriculture is now a top priority. Before the pandemic, islands dependent on food imports struggled with food security and in its aftermath, the need for island food security has become vital. Island governments realize the need for redevelopment of an agricultural sector that has been neglected and ignored for decades. Improved farming methods must be introduced with advanced technologies that improve yields from small land holdings. Native forests were cleared long ago leaving islands exposed and vulnerable to climate change. Reestablishing a island forests would help reduce rising temperatures and reduce the “heat island” effect occurring with more frequency on land these islands.

Invest In The Place That Everyone Wants To Visit

Tropical island resorts have been popular destinations for years attracting tourists from around the world. Many people are unaware of investment opportunities available to foreigners on most islands. In the past, a great number of investments centered around real estate, however a new investment opportunity is rapidly developing on almost every island in the world – agriculture.

A Need To Feed

Recognizing the immediate need to feed its people and develop a food secure nation, island governments have created incentives to attract investment in the agricultural sector. A few of these incentives include land, zero tax economic development zones, duty-free equipment and supply imports, and assistance with project infrastructure costs.

All company activities are project-based, structured in partnership with an island government and/or others to construct agricultural demonstration sites on the islands. The sites will demonstrate Feed An Island proprietary food and forest technologies to governments of other islands with a plan to expand, island to island. Each site serves as a training center, teaching local farmers how to use the various technologies. Revenue is generated from proceeds received from Growing To Give, a registered non-profit in Washington that secures funding from nationwide community food programs and agricultural grants.

Feed An Island Investments

Feed An Island LLC offers agricultural investment opportunity for investors. For persons based in the U.S., the company has created a loan program where funds are loaned to the company to construct agricultural food security demonstration sites on the islands of St. Martin, Antigua, and Grenada. Interest is paid on the loan annually and the loan is paid out in 3 years. For persons from other countries, the company offers investment in exchange for equity in the company and a share of tax-free profits derived from island forest and food projects developed throughout the entire Caribbean region.

Our Projects

St. Martin - Feed An Island is preparing two food security demonstration sites on the island of St. Martin. One demonstration site is rural, a small holder farm on the French side of the island. The other demonstration site is urban, a small piece of land on the Dutch side where the cruise ships dock. The Dutch site will be open for tours and training every Saturday. Application will be made for approval as an island attraction for tourists to walk through after they depart the cruise liners.Reports about our Tomato Volcanoes and Crop Circle Gardens would spread far and wide as these ships dock and release their passengers onto the island creating potential for project opportunities around the world.

Antigua - Our food security demonstration site is located a stone’s throw from the only runway of the only airport on the island of Antigua. The site will be clearly visible to the over 1,000,000 visitors that travel by air to the island each year creating a one-of-a-kind marketing opportunity to creatively display our agricultural technologies. With that in mind, two half acre Crop Circle spirals will be planted. At the tail on one, 15-foot-tall lettering will be planted, spelling the word Antigua and the tail end of the other will spell Barbuda. The rest of the site will be populated with Crop Circle Gardens and Tomato Volcanoes and like St. Martin be open for tours, training, and demonstration.

Grenada - We’ve been invited to join a collaborative Pilot Land Bank Project with The Grenada Ministry of Agriculture, Lands and Forestry, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Green Harvest, Grenada Investment Development Corporation (GIDC) and the Climate-Smart Agriculture and Rural Enterprise Programme (SAEP). A second site has been acquired one half a mile from the island residence of the Prime Minister. The Land Bank Project site is situated on a hillside that will be terraced to create 20-foot-wide forest and food production pathways. The second site is open and flat.Several Feed An Island food security technologies will be featured including Tomato Volcanoes, Crop Circle Gardens, Crop Circle farms and our terraced agroforestry technology.

Basing the company in the USVI established us as local, joining the family of Caribbean islands that need to rapidly improve food security for the CARCOM region. Word is spreading fast about what we do, and our island location is building trust and comradery as we quickly become accepted and a welcome addition to the CARICOM community.

Generally, taxes on income are based on country of residence, however income earned from membership in a USVI company may qualify for special tax treatment. For example, the U.S. Virgin Islands has had authority from Congress for more than 50 years to allow for tax-exempt companies within the territory. Here are just a few of the most significant benefits of such a structure:

Tax exempt USVI companies do not pay any taxes on income earned anywhere they do business (other than in the United States or U.S. Virgin Islands), except for a yearly $1,000 fee paid to the Government of the Virgin Islands.

This means that the U.S. based Virgin Island LLC has an opportunity to maximize profits for its members.

Yes, providing no more than 10% ownership is U.S. based; the remaining 90% must be foreign owned.

Investment memberships are offered in increments of $500,000USD in exchange for 5% share in the company’s profit after expenses. (only avaialble to non-U.S. citizens). Our loan program however, is available to U.S. citizens.

Your investment lasts into perpetuity and is 100% transferable to your heirs and/or assigns.

The company receives 80% of donations solicited by our partner nonprofit, Growing To Give to fulfill construct obligations of various food security projects throughout the Caribbean. These obligations include product manufacture, shipping, deployment, installation, demonstration, and on-site training.

The company will also procure third part contracts for forest and food constructs on other islands within the Caribbean and around the world.

In addition, an investment of $500,000USD reserves a residence in a future Feed An Island Habitat food project that offers residency, citizenship and a second passport.

The company is establishing island by island agricultural demonstration sites throughout the Caribbean with a goal to expand to other islands worldwide.
