The Processing Sector Without Agripure
It already works. It's already profitable. It doesn't need external help.
SAKALA Site 0 operates 25 youth across 7 franchise types. Every product line below runs on equipment we already own or can build with local materials. Solar dryers. Hand grinders. Basic fermentation. No industrial partner required.

Timeline Milestones (Standalone)
This works. It's profitable. It's self-sustaining. It doesn't need external help. The question isn't whether SAKALA survives. The question is how fast it grows.
The Processing Sector With Agripure
Everything you just read... but faster, bigger, and worth dramatically more per kilogram.
What Changes Immediately
1. Essential Oil Distillation: UNLOCKED
Agripure already owns distillation stills. SAKALA youth learn to operate them. A product category worth $0/month without Agripure becomes $500–$2,000/month overnight.
| Essential Oil Product | Wholesale Price | Availability | Monthly Revenue Potential |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moringa Oil | $15–25 / liter | Immediate (moringa already planted) | $200–500 |
| Vetiver Oil | $250–350 / kg | Year 2–3 (vetiver maturation) | $500–1,500 |
| Medicinal Plant Oils | $50–200 / kg | Year 1+ (species-dependent) | $200–800 |
| Citronella / Lemongrass | $8–15 / kg | Immediate (grows fast) | $100–300 |
| ESSENTIAL OILS TOTAL | $500–$2,000/mo |
2. Processing Volume: 2–3x Increase
His equipment upgrades every bottleneck in the processing chain:
| Stage | Without Agripure | With Agripure |
|---|---|---|
| Grinding | Manual mortar & pestle | Electric + industrial grinder |
| Drying | Solar dryer (weather-dependent) | Commercial dehydrator (consistent) |
| Pressing | None (no oil extraction) | Cold press + distillation |
| Batch Size | 5–10 kg per run | 50–100 kg per run |
| Quality Control | Visual / taste | Lab-validated, export-grade |
3. Quality Certification: Export-Grade
Agripure's lab validates every batch. This unlocks three markets that are currently closed:
- Diaspora Premium Market — certified Haitian-origin products command 40–60% price premium
- Institutional Buyers — Food for the Poor, WFP, Summits Education, school feeding programs
- International Export — CBERA duty-free access to US market, EU GSP+ eligible
4. Youth Certifications: 3x Faster
With-Agripure Site 0 P&L
| Product Line | Without Agripure | With Agripure | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moringa (powder + OIL) | $300/mo | $600–800/mo | +$300–500 |
| Hot Sauce | $300/mo | $450–600/mo | +$150–300 |
| Mamba | $375/mo | $500–750/mo | +$125–375 |
| Dried Lalo | $800–1,200/mo | $1,200–1,800/mo | +$400–600 |

| Honey | $100–300/mo | $200–500/mo | +$100–200 |
| Rabbit Jerky | $350–840/mo | $600–1,200/mo | +$250–360 |
| Charcoal Briquettes | $750–1,250/mo | $1,000–1,800/mo | +$250–550 |
| Harvest Box Allocation | $625/mo | $1,000–1,500/mo | +$375–875 |
| Essential Oils (NEW) | $0 | $500–2,000/mo | +$500–2,000 |
| TOTAL SITE 0 | $3.7K–$5.3K/mo | $6.3K–$11.3K/mo | +$2.5K–$6.0K/mo |
With you, we make $17,000–$41,000 MORE per year at Site 0 alone. That's 4–11 more franchise atoms funded from surplus. That's 40–110 more kids employed. Same land. Same youth. Different ceiling.
The Deal Structure
Knowledge for knowledge. A declining share of a growing pie. Full independence by Year 5.
A. Training Swap
Agripure Sends to SAKALA
1–2 technicians to Site 0
- General processing classes for 25 youth
- Equipment operation training
- Quality control protocols
- Safety & hygiene standards
SAKALA Sends to Agripure
2–4 youth to Agripure facility
- Specialized certification training
- Essential oil distillation mastery
- Industrial equipment operation
- Export documentation procedures
B. Shared Processing with Sliding Profit Share
The share is tied to certifications, not calendar time. Youth who learn faster graduate faster. Agripure's incentive: train them well, because better-trained youth produce higher-quality output while the share is still favorable.
| Phase | Youth Cert Level | SAKALA Processes | Agripure Processes | His Share | Our Share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | Apprentice (0 certs) | 30% | 70% | 60% | 40% |
| Year 2 | Intermediate (2–3 certs) | 50% | 50% | 45% | 55% |
| Year 3 | Advanced (5+ certs) | 75% | 25% | 30% | 70% |
| Year 4 | Expert (all certs) | 90% | 10% | 15% | 85% |
| Year 5+ | Independent | 100% | 0% | Advisory | 100% |
C. Why Declining Share = Growing Revenue
The math that makes this work for Agripure: even as his percentage declines, the total volume grows. His absolute revenue increases through Year 3 before tapering.
| Year | Site 0 Annual Revenue | Agripure's Share % | Agripure's Absolute Revenue | Trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | $75,000 | 60% | $45,000 | Baseline |
| Year 2 | $110,000 | 45% | $49,500 | +10% absolute |
| Year 3 | $136,000 | 30% | $40,800 | Still strong |
| Year 4 | $150,000 | 15% | $22,500 | Tapering |
| Year 5 | $160,000 | Advisory | Network-wide role | Legacy |
| Cumulative Agripure Revenue (Yr 1–4) | $157,800 | |||
D. Infrastructure Obligations
In exchange for the Year 1–2 majority share, Agripure provides:
| Obligation | Deliverable | Value to SAKALA |
|---|---|---|
| Processing Equipment Specs | Full equipment list with sourcing contacts | Saves 6+ months of research |
| Quality Testing | Lab validation of first certified batches | Unlocks export market |

Impact at Full Scale
The Agripure Multiplier
Agripure doesn't partner with one site. Agripure designs the processing DNA of 344 sites.
| What Dumarsais Does | What It Becomes |
|---|---|
| Trains 4 youth in distillation | 3,440 youth who know how to distill |
| Writes 1 processing SOP | 344 sites following the same standard |
| Introduces 3 export buyers | $20–40M essential oil supply chain |
| Certifies 1 batch | Export certification template for entire network |
| Spends 1 year as processing partner | Legacy as architect of Haiti's largest cooperative |
This is what you're being invited into. Not a one-site partnership. A 344-site processing network that you helped design. Your DNA in every franchise that distills essential oils. Your standards in every batch that clears customs. Your name in the story of 3,440 kids who learned a trade because you taught the first four.
What Agripure Gets
This isn't charity. This is a competitive advantage wrapped in a cooperative structure.
1. Guaranteed Raw Material Supply
344 franchise sites producing moringa, vetiver, medicinal plants, citronella, lemongrass. Agripure gets first-right-of-refusal on raw materials at cooperative wholesale pricing.
2. Trained Workforce Pipeline
Every youth Agripure certifies can work for Agripure too. SAKALA becomes the training ground. Agripure becomes the employer-of-choice for top graduates. Zero recruitment cost.
3. Legacy
"I helped build the largest youth cooperative in Haitian history." That sentence. In Forbes. In Le Nouvelliste. In the CNN Hero documentary. In every grant application. In every history book. 20 years of agriculture in Haiti, and this is what makes it permanent.
4. Volume: Declining Share x Growing Total = Growing Absolute Revenue
| Year | Network Processing Revenue | Agripure Advisory % | Agripure Annual Revenue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | $75K (Site 0) | 60% | $45,000 |
| Year 2 | $400K (5 sites) | 45% (Site 0) + consulting | $90,000+ |
| Year 3 | $2M (20 sites) | 30% (Site 0) + network fee | $150,000+ |
| Year 5 | $10–15M (100+ sites) | Processing standards license | $200K–500K+ |
5. First-Mover on Essential Oil Cooperative Supply Chain
Nobody else has 344 agroforestry sites producing essential oil feedstock under a single cooperative umbrella. Haiti is the world's largest vetiver producer (60% of global supply). Agripure + SAKALA = the first vertically integrated cooperative essential oil supply chain in the Caribbean. This is a defensible market position.
6. Reputation + Press
- CNN Hero partner (Daniel Tillias / SAKALA founding story)
- World Bank roundtable credibility (SAKALA academic validators)
- Substack AMMO series (22 posts, growing audience)
- AJ+ documentary pipeline (Ibtissem Guenfoud, 3x Emmy)
- Academic publications (Darity, Craemer, peer-reviewed validation)
The Anti-Extraction Guarantee
We built this model specifically to prevent extraction. You're not being asked to extract. You're being asked to build.
The Theta Comparison
Theta (Θ) measures the share of value captured by the processor/intermediary. In traditional Haitian agriculture, processors and middlemen capture 80%+ of the value that farmers create. SAKALA was designed to invert this.
| Model | Theta (Θ) | Who Keeps the Value | Visual |
|---|---|---|---|
| Traditional Processor | Θ = 0.80+ | Processor captures 80%+ forever | |
| Agripure Year 1 | Θ = 0.60 | High, but by design... and declining | |
| Agripure Year 2 | Θ = 0.45 | Share shifts as youth certify | |
| Agripure Year 3 | Θ = 0.30 | Youth processing majority of volume | |
| Agripure Year 4 | Θ = 0.15 | Expert-level youth, near-independence | |
| Agripure Year 5+ | Θ = 0.00–0.05 | Full cooperative ownership |
What This Means in Practice
A traditional processor takes $0.80 of every $1.00 of value a Haitian farmer creates. Forever. No training. No technology transfer. No independence pathway. The farmer stays poor.
The Agripure model starts at $0.60 of every $1.00... but that $0.60 comes with training, equipment access, export certifications, and buyer introductions. And it drops to $0.00 within five years.
This is the difference between extraction and investment. Jacques Dumarsais isn't being asked to extract value from Haitian youth. He's being asked to invest his expertise into a system that creates independent operators. The reward is volume, reputation, and a supply chain that feeds his own business for decades.
The Mathematical Proof
| Metric | Traditional Processor | Agripure x SAKALA |
|---|---|---|
| 5-Year cumulative Theta | 0.80 (constant) | 0.30 (declining average) |
| Value returned to producers | 20% (permanent) | 70%+ (and rising) |
| Skills transferred | Zero | Full certification suite |
| Youth independence timeline | Never | 5 years |
| Network effect | None (isolated extraction) | 344-site multiplication |
| Agripure revenue Year 5 | $45K (same site, same share) | $200K–500K+ (network-wide) |
We designed this model specifically to prevent extraction. Every partnership SAKALA enters has a built-in independence clock. Not because we distrust partners... but because Haiti has 200 years of data showing what happens when you don't.
The Invitation
One call. That's all we're asking for.

You have 20 years in Haitian agriculture. You know what works and what doesn't. You know the soil, the markets, the bureaucracy. We have 344 sites, 3,440 youth, and a model that turns $3,600 into $25,000 in year one. Together, this is the largest cooperative processing network in Haitian history. We don't need you to survive. We need you to build something that's never existed before.
