Every project on FarmX shows the same core set of figures. Knowing how to read them helps you compare projects and set the right expectations.
Cost per share and minimum quantity
The cost per share is your unit price. The minimum quantity is the smallest position the operator will accept. Multiply them for the smallest amount you can commit to this project.
Cycle length
How long the farm runs before the project matures. A short cycle returns your capital and gain sooner; a longer cycle usually reflects a crop or animal that takes time to reach market. Match this to how long you are comfortable leaving money in.
Return range
The spread between the weakest and strongest cycle this type of project has produced. Treat the low end as a real possibility, not a worst case you can ignore. If only the high end would satisfy you, this is not your project.
Shares sold
How much of the project is already funded. A nearly full project is closing soon. A project that has been open a while without filling is worth a second look at the brief and the operator’s track record.
The operator
Who is actually running the farm. Look at how many cycles they have completed on FarmX and how their past projects performed. A consistent operator through a poor cycle tells you more than a great single result.
Capital-back terms
Some projects guarantee your original capital at maturity as a floor, with the gain on top; others return the holding value as-is. The project page states which applies. Read it before you commit.
