My dad has just come into heritance of a coconut plantation in India. All this while, we have been living in Singapore as an average income family. So that is why we know nothing of how to operate a coconut plantation.
I would like to know more on operating these type of plantations, how they cost, the returns etc.
Additional info: There are 75,000 mature trees.
The documents are already settled.
I'll appreciate any USEFUL info. SELLING THE PLANTATION IS NOT AN OPTION. This is like a gold mine. Thanks.

Well, just continue the on going concern. Let the workers there continue what ever practives had been established. However, make sure the established practices are true. You need not have the financial assistance now.
You have to meet the management people there and introduce yourselves.
You did not mention how big is the area but from the looks of the 75,000 mature coconut trees, may be it is about 250 acres or roughly 500 hectares. It is a very big land, 12.5 times bigger than Vatican city.
Get to know more about the land before looking for any financial assistance. Please evaluate first.

Here's what I would do. Clearly, there are other coconut plantations nearby. You should be able to find someone who has worked (or, is working) for one of these in a fairly high position. Hire that person as a consultant or operations manager. Place ads in the local media.

this isnt something from Nigeria is it? Otherwise the best way would be to have the people that are working the crops help you....laborers tend to have tons of knowledge
