Frijol 40 Rosado - Frijol Cuarentano Rosado

We are experimenting with agriculture crops any Honduran Campesino can plant...
To escape from the grip of those who maintain Sustainable Famine Projects in Honduras...



I present to my Honduran Campesino amigos...
Frijol 40 Rosado - Frijol Cuarentano Rosado...

The Frijol 40 Rosado - Red Bean - can be harvested in 40 days...
That is nine harvests per year...

Let me give you some basic numbers...

It is easy to harvest 14 - 200 pound sacks - carga - of Frijol 40 per manzana - 1.6 acres...
If you harvest nine times per year...
14 X 9...
That gives you 126 sacks of Frijol 40...
A 200 pound sack of Frijol 40 is worth 2,800 Lempiras today February 2.2011...
126 x 2,800.00 = 352,800 Lempiras...
$18,766.00 USD...


In the summer months in Honduras...
Say January till mid May...
The Frijol Bean prices are even higher...

Minimum cost to plant Frijol Rosado 40
Tuesday February 2.2011

Man Power - mozos - ...
You can plant one manzana of Frijol bean with six men in two days...
One man can plant one manzana of Frijol in 12 days...
Six x 100 Lempiras per day = 600 Lempiras per day x two = 1,200.00 Lempiras...


Frijol Mel Arbolito

Fertilizer - Insecticide
We use a fertilizer - abono - called Peka - we apply with our hand sprayers - bomba...
And a insect pesticide - insecticida - Kung Fu...

For one manzana we apply...
Peka fertilizer - 7 bombas - 7 x 20 Lempiras - 140 Lempiras...
Kung Fu - 7 bombas - 7 x 6.75 = 40.50 Lempiras...
That is 180.50 Lempiras per manazana - each application...
180.50 x 4 = 722.00 Lempiras per manzana...
Man power - two men x 100.00 = 200.00 Lempiras...
200.00 x 400.00 = 800.00 Lempiras...
722.00 + 800.00 = 1,522.00 Lempiras

Now you see why the Honduran Terminator Seed Sustainable Famine Projects...
Persuade the Honduran Campesino to join their projects...
By dangling supposed free irrigation systems...
Or promises of joining a agriculture export network...
To sell you pesticides...
Their projects will cost you a minimum of 100 thousand Lempiras per manzana to plant...
With at least 40 thousand Lempiras budgeted for the Terminator Seed NGO´s pesticides...
Per manzana...
Not 1,522.00 Lempiras...


Harvest
Pull the Frijol beans - arrancar - ...
Four men one day - 400 Lempiras...


Seperate Frijol bean from pod - aporrear - ...
Four men one day = 400.00 Lempiras...
800.00 Lempiras to harvest Frijol Rosado...

Add your costs - per manzana
1,200.00 plant Frijol 40...
1,522.00 fumigation...
800.00 harvest...
Total: 3,522.00 Lempiras per manzana...

Profit per manzana
14 - 200 pound sacks - cargas per manzana...
Each sack worth 2,800.00 Lempiras - February 2.2011...
2,800.00 x 14 = 39,200.00 Lempiras...
39,200.00 gross - 3,522.00 costs = 35,678.00 Lempiras profit per manzana...
35,678.00 x 9 Frijol harvest per year = 321,102.00 Lempiras...
$16,999.00 USD...
$46.57 USD per day...
Not the $5.00 USD the Honduran Campesino is earning today here in Catacamas...

Plant 3.5 manzanas of Frijol 40 Rosado...
You can earn 1,043,582.00 Lempiras...
$55,245.00 USD per year...
Not bad for a Honduran Frijol Bean farmer...
3.5 manzanas - 5.2 acres - of Frijol bean is very possible...

Buyers? ...
Ask El Salvador if they need Frijol Beans...

¨The National Assembly authorized the government to import 1.2 million quintals of beans in 2011.¨
El Salvador

· El Salvador to Import Beans from China

· El Salvador to Import Beans from Ethiopia

· El Salvador to Imported Beans Without Tariffs in 2011

· El Salvador to Import 25 Thousand Bean Quintals

While the Honduran American Combine ensure their mafia over Honduran Red Bean...

· Honduras Will Need to Import Beans

Frijol planting - harvesting - costs can be lowered if the Honduran Campesino uses his family members...
We recommend uniting your Honduran family to begin a Frijol operation...
No boss man...
The Honduran Campesino Bean Farmer can sell his beans at his road side stand...
Or from his front door...
Free from coyotes...
No NGO BS...
No need for a Honduran Campesino to migrate to the United States - to work as slave labor - leaving his precious Honduran family behind...

This report gives you a basic idea of Frijol costs to plant one manzana...
It is a aggressive planting schedule...
But it can be done...
Or just plant eight times a year...

Our next plan for our Frijoles...
Is to use our own Moringa based fertilizer...
And use Organic pesticides...


January 19.2011
Our Frijol Bean 40 Rosado crop
Rain Bird 30 sprinklers
Area IV

Today a single 150 pound pig will earn you 4,000 Lempiras...
You can fatten a 150 pound pig in six months...
Pigs are worth more than cattle in Honduras...


UPDATE Tuesday February 8.2011

Add in to my costs your irrigation pump fuel bill during the summer months...
You still are going to make money with Red Beans in Honduras at this time...

Some say they visit my Blog...
To have a laugh...
To see - in their words - if we are still flip flopping from one project to another...
To read what the Gringo Loco is ranting about today...
I truly welcome these visitors here...

The fact is amigos...
We are having the last laugh...

Cause we will bring change to our Honduran Campesino neighbors...
We will stop Imposed Poverty in Honduras...

· · ·

Seems this Blog is getting the attention of those in Washington DC...
The truth hurts...
Hopefully will open the eyes of many...
It is time for Washington to stop supporting policies that destroyed agriculture in the Americas...
Created a migration nightmare...
Thereby disentigrated Latin American families...
All for dinero...

I have never understood how a man can abuse his people for his personal welfare...
Never understood the man who has no desire to make his country the best country it can be...
A little man on his soap box shouting how he will bring change to Honduras...
Only to enrich his inner circle of those who suck up to him...
Fires anyone who is threat to his personal agenda...

Greed is so very powerful...

Stepping on your Honduran countrymen is sport...
Macho man they call this here I guess...
To me it is not macho...
A true macho respects his wife...
A true macho respects his children...
A true macho tends to his neighbor...
A true macho does his best to make his country a better place...

You macho men of Honduras are destroying your country...
One day you will answer for this...
Such little men you are...
Greed is not your future...
Greed is your demise...

¨Your soul was in your keeping...
When you stand before your higher power one day...
You can not say...
But I was told by others to this or that...
That virtue was not convienent at the time...
This will not suffice¨...

¨Although each country is affected in different food markets, the narratives remain strikingly similar: an import surge of a food staple displaces the domestic market, thereby decreasing domestic production and employment by startling percentages.¨

“Food gaps in Guatemala, Honduras, and Peru are projected to jump more than 20% by 2016. Peru has
always relied heavily on imports of grain, and grain imports in both Guatemala and Honduras have risen 10 percent per year since 1990. In fact, in 2006, grain imports exceeded domestic production in Honduras by 30%, and Guatemala by 55%.”
· Oakland Institute

Honduras does nothing to protect the Honduran farmer...
Instead of allowing Honduras to feed itself...
Thereby allowing Honduran farmers to sustain their families
The Honduran American Combine continue to sign unfair trade agreements...
· Honduras Would Sign FTA with Canada

“The global food system is designed to generate profits not feed people, and nothing has changed since 2008. There has been no focus on how to achieve food security or on regulating the food trade,”
· Mittal


This report clearly states how CAFTA DR of the USA and FTA of Canada do not benefit Third World countries...
Yet the United States and Canada ignore the warnings...
· Overhaul of Agriculture Systems Needed

· A Wake Up Call for Food Sovereignty

¨After 4,000 years of corn cultivation and production, Mexico is now a net importer of its main staple.¨

· THE FOOD CRISIS AND LATIN AMERICA: Framing a New Policy Approach

Like I said...
Find a way to feed your family...
Sell what you can at your roadside stand...
Sell cheaper than the imports...

· · ·

I am in perfect health...
Nor I am depressed...
Pseudo-heart attacks are one of the alleged methods of death induced by those who are associated with the Honduran American Combine...
If I suddenly die of a heart attack...
Or Suicide...
If I suddenly fall off a Honduran jungle cliff...
You will know why...

My posts at this Blog will continue...
I will not die on my knees...

UPDATE Monday February 28.2011

· Honduras to Import Beans and Corn

· Honduras: Farmers Oppose Bean Import



Thursday April 14.2011

We continue to sell out our Frijol Bean harvests...
We have a waiting list of people who want our beans...

Pigs sell as fast as we can get them to market...

This is proof the Honduran farmers have been hoodwinked into believing they can not sell their farm crops...
