If anyone wants to donate here, it would be really great to help building rice farms while using BTC to make it possible.

Here's a donation ^{[TX link]} to kickstart this campaign but credit goes to "monkgg ^{[I've used what monkgg sent me as a tip for being the first reviewer for his/her platform]}"...

^{- I did ask for "monkgg's permission" prior to passing it on to this campaign.
- Since there's no rush, I intentionally used a small fee so more would go towards this campaign but I did accelerate it using both ViaBTC and AntPool.}

Many thanks for your donation, every amount is useful to start funding here.

I'll include it in my OP.

And I've also an update from our last campaign (donations came from German local board) where we can see a nice progress. Seems like rice is growing very fast generally:

I have one question regarding the price of land in the Philippines - specifically in this case the agricultural land that will be used for rice cultivation. I don't know exactly what the size of the land is, but 0.2 BTC is around $10 000 at the current price - so even though you included all the other costs, I was somehow convinced that agricultural land in that part of the world would be much cheaper.

In my country (EU), a large proportion of workers earn that much throughout the year - although there are those who earn perhaps only 60-70% of that amount.

Most farmers in my country(Philippines) do not have their own land and most of them are part of a hacienda or ranch that is owned by the oligarchs. That money that hopefully gets donated might be able to help them pay their debts, buy seeds and buy their food. Filipino farmers are among the poorest in my country and there are only a few that gets lucky because those who asked for more are either killed or removed from the land, what I am saying is that they are always getting the short end of the stick.

Yes, he has said something similar, it's not easy for them and when typhoons / floods are occuring, it can bring a lot of damage. Their farm is located in Isabela, I don't know if there are local differences.
