Garbage LZA. You guys really need to research before you start ploughing money into this sector of the market.

Fire management is the number one consideration for those investing in sandalwood plantations. When your money could go up in flames trust me you take all precautions to ELIMINATE the risk to fire. Simply weed control, wide rows spacings and generous firebreaks. Advanced (over 5 years) orchards are even using sheep to reduce any orchard floor growth and very profitably and effectively. Some of our growers had gross margins in excess of $9,000/ha for the season just gone. And that was in a drought year ... 200kg/ha nuts @$45/kg. They'll likely give their carbon credits away to increase the marketability of their produce ;) What payments are CO2 offering the market?

You should also ring CO2 and ask about what value their product brings to the land resource. This model effectively decouples the holder of the land away from land value appreciation because he cant use it. Its just a sink for 100 years. The company will tell you that.
