- 55% YIELD INCREASE...... GIVES INVESTMENT PAYBACK IN 9 MONTHS
THE (ROI) CALCULATED BELOW SHOWS A 9 MONTH RETURN ON A $810.00 INVESTMENT IN DTS
FIVE 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 for improvement in service life and efficiency. Our latest increase in latex yield is 94% for our August 2025 trial.
- Rubber Price (dollars per Ton).
- Price of DTS. The Pricing Sheet is based on a matrix of size and quantity . Pricing begins as low as $1.80 (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) . A Performance Factor of 1.58 (lbs/tree/mth) is used as the baseline for calculating the increase in latex yield in the calculator example below. Our trial baseline yield negates the need for an external Performance factor baseline in our calculation for a ROI in months for our DTS.
- Total number of trees determine number of Tappers and Tappers Bonus.
