Precision agriculture
Big data solutions for the mapping of soils and yield, precision irrigation, monitoring, and fertilization through remote sensing technologies. They are identified as key activities: papaya, cassava, pineapple, and banana.
SectorMost major industry classification systems use sources of revenue as their basis for classifying companies into specific sectors, subsectors and industries. In order to group like companies based on their sustainability-related risks and opportunities, SASB created the Sustainable Industry Classification System® (SICS®) and the classification of sectors, subsectors and industries in the SDG Investor Platform is based on SICS.

Business Model Description
A disaggregated business model with emphasis on infrastructure and process management to improve the efficiency and competitiveness of the producer.
Expected Impact
Help implement sustainable practices to cope with adverse environmental effects while improving land productivity.
Indicative ReturnDescribes the rate of growth an investment is expected to generate within the IOA. The indicative return is identified for the IOA by establishing its Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Return of Investment (ROI) or Gross Profit Margin (GPM).
77.4%, 15%, and 100% yield per ha of Pineapple, Cassava, and Papaya. (MAG & Morales TEC).
Investment TimeframeDescribes the time period in which the IOA will pay-back the invested resources. The estimate is based on asset expected lifetime as the IOA will start generating accumulated positive cash-flows.
Short Term (0–5 years)
Market SizeDescribes the value of potential addressable market of the IOA. The market size is identified for the IOA by establishing the value in USD, identifying the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) or providing a numeric unit critical to the IOA.
$1,089.16M in cumulative exports of Pineapple and Banana in 2021. (BCCR).
Average Ticket Size (USD)Describes the USD amount for a typical investment required in the IOA.
The cost can range from $3.57 to $17.85 per hectare (ha) for very simple techniques, adding almost $47.6 per ha for more advanced solutions. (Satorra). A large-scale implementation may require an initial investment of up to $10000 (focus group).
Direct ImpactDescribes the primary SDG(s) the IOA addresses.

Indirect ImpactDescribes the secondary SDG(s) the IOA addresses.
