THE (ROI) AS CALCULATED BELOW SHOW A 13 MONTH RETURN ON A $164.00 INVESTMENT IN DTS

SIX  REQUIRED  DATA  POINTS

• Percent Increase in latex yield  can be obtained from the kopernik.Info or B.R.Research Foundation reports showing  77% and 99% yield increases respectively, both reports are for inferior Prior Art Rainguards providing less than a year of service. The B.R.Research report indicated 50% of these prior art rain guards were leaking within a year.  In our calculator below we used the 55%  average yield increase from our three in-house trials of August 2023, also shown in the menu of this website. We have made improvements in design since 2023 to further increase life and efficiency. 
• Rubber Price  (dollars per Ton). 
• Price of DTS.  (Pricing Sheet based on a matrix of size and quantity is available on request).  Pricing begins at $1.95 (Fob).              
• Performance Factor (lbs / tree / month) for (30 days per month);  2.35 (kg/tree/month) from Kopernik.Info report, or .43 (kg/tree/month) from B.R. Research Foundation report. From Google search; "The average yield of a rubber tree" shows an average of 19 Lbs. per year at a production rate of .78 (kg/tree/mth) or 1.72 (lbs/tree/mth) .  This Performance Factor of 1.72 (lbs/tree/mth) can be the baseline used for calculating the increase in latex yield in the calculator. However our trial baseline yield for 100 trees negates the need for an external Performance factor in our calculation for a ROI in months. 
• Acres with DTS, (220 trees in an acre), gives the total number trees.
• Number of Tappers. (Number of trees with DTS divided by trees in a task).
