Felaha's economics are conservative on purpose — payback assumes agriculture revenue only. Minerals, aquaculture, potable surplus, and carbon credits are not yet included in the headline numbers.
A plot is the project's atomic unit — 380 net hectares, seven brackish wells, four anchor crops at maturity. Every economic statement below scales linearly through Core, strip, and full project.
Anchor crops ramp through their early years. Lime delivers first (year 5), mango next (year 6), date palm (year 7+), olive last (year 8). Felaha plans for that staggered curve.
Conservative estimate. Excludes mineral, aquaculture, potable-surplus, and carbon-credit revenue lines. 25-year EBITDA per plot: 250 M USD · 25-year ROI: 2,420 %.
CAPEX is 29,750 USD / ha, dominated by water infrastructure and tree planting. OPEX runs 12,930 USD / ha / year including amortization. Water itself is 0.32 USD / m³ — substantially below comparable centralized desalination.
Felaha's headline figures count agriculture revenue only. The following lines are real, costed, and operational in pilot — but kept out of the core P&L so the underwriting is intentionally pessimistic.
From brine mining: gypsum, sodium chloride, magnesium-, potassium-, and calcium-bearing salts.
Drinking-grade water rolling off the brine-mining stage — sellable to municipalities or industry.
Inland brackish-tolerant fish farming integrated into each Core's nutrient loop.
100,000 hectares of new vegetation as a verified carbon sink, plus avoided emissions from current import logistics.
