Remarks
Groasis Technology in comparison with drip irrigation
The project duration is 50 years as treeprojects (vines, olives,avocados, dates, etc.) always are longterm projects
All costs independent from use of Groasis waterboxx or drip irrigation that are equal have not been accounted in this document, so this document does not show all costs of tree plantations
As an example: the cost for a warehouse is not calculated, as for both systems one needs a warehouse
This means that this document cannot be used as a template for tree planting calculations. It focuses only on the financial differences caused by the use of the Groasis Technology compared to drip irrigation
Note: if column C in tab 'assumptions' states 1/0, complete calculation tab lines as following: Yes = 1, No = 0

Key Indicators   Waterboxx Drip Irrigation
Net Present Value (NPV) million EUR                       39,03                       23,97 Net present value (NPV) is the total present value of a time series of cash flows; it measures the excess or shortfall of cash flows, in present value terms, once financing charges are met. NPV is an indicator of how much value an investment or project adds for the investor; it is an indicator of the value or magnitude of an investment.
Internal Rate of Return (IRR) % 32,1% 26,8% The internal rate of return (IRR) is a rate of return used to measure and compare the profitability of investments. The internal rate of return on an investment is the annualized effective compounded return rate that can be earned on the invested capital; it is the interest rate at which the costs of the investment lead to the benefits of the investment. This means that all gains from the investment are inherent to the time value of money and that the investment has a zero net present value at this interest rate. IRR is an indicator of the efficiency, quality, or yield of an investment.
Capital employed million EUR                        (0,47)                       (3,40) Capital employed represents the capital investment necessary for the project.
Financing need million EUR                        (5,53)                     (11,31) Maximum project finance needed during project duration
Payback (break even) years                               6                               5 Payback period refers to the period of time required for the return on an investment to "repay" the sum of the original investment (capital employed).
Water requirements over project lifetime million liters                       16,25               24.375,00 Total water requirements - Waterboxx filled in year 1 only, drip irrigation has regular water supply to trees

Risk analysis
Groasis Technology Drip irrigation
six year proven technology thirty five year proven technology
if growing on rocks lower investment in soil higher investment in soil 
if growing on rocks lower interest costs on capital investment in soil higher capital costs
No inflation of costs risk inflation of costs risk
no risk of higher costs for energy risk of higher energy cost
no risk of lack of availability of ground water risk of lack of groundwater
no risk caused by political decisions risk of political decisions
no risk on ban on use of groundwater risk on ban on use of groundwater if cities have lack of water during periods of drought
no risk on brackish water problems heavy use of drip irrigation may lead to brackish groundwater, already many areas world wide have been left for this reason 
no risk on losing crop if use of groundwater is banned risk of losing crop if irrigation is banned, this might happen with a severe drought when cities get priority. This might happen in the coming 100 years as a cause of climate change
no risk of rising prices of irrigation water water price per liter will rise considerably, when price rises from 0,001 euro to 0,01 euro per liter (cost comparison cel J15) the cost of water rises to 625,000 euro (cost comparison cel G9). Drip irrigation production will then give a loss
No risk on soil salination if irrigation water contains minerals and/or salt, over time the soil will be polluted and also too salted to produce and turn into unusable eternally. This is undoubtedly the case with water from natural sources with high mineral levels, from cleaned sewage water sources of produced from seawater through the reversed osmosis technology. Several formerly fertile zones in California have now been abandoned for this reason. Many cities in the Middle East start to replace the soil where trees are dying as raising the water gift doesn't help anymore. The certain capital loss caused by this reason is unimaginable high and cannot be solved others than by higher water gifts until the conductivity of the soil is higher than that of the roots. Once this level has been reached the plants will die because of draught even if the roots are surrounded by water. See photo. 

 

Other capacities 
Groasis Technology Drip irrigation
growing on rocks possible growing on rocks not possible
sustainable - only in the first year water is used between 20 to 100 liters depending from the growing place not sustainable - plants are eternally irrigated with scarce goundwater or expensive filtered water through reversed osmosis. Trees in cities in Middle East receive daily 60 to 100 liters per day. This is average 2,920,000 liters in 100 years. Vines receive between 800 to 1,400 liters per year per plant. This is average 110,000 liters per plant in 100 years. As soon as water is priced, this way of producing is outdated. 
less fungicide use = less risk for personel high fungicide use = higher risk for personel
higher product quality level lower product quality level
higher sales price for the product because of better internal and external quality lower sales price
eco label possible eco label not possible
less complicated management complicated management
less crop means less wear of machinery/ less use of energy/ less packing material/ lower transportcosts/ etc. / these differences in lower costs are not taken into account in this template double crop means double wear of machinery/ double use of energy in warehouses/ double packing material/ double transportcosts/ etc. / these differences in higher costs are not taken into account in this template
less crop means necessity of smaller buildings and smaller refrigidator / these differences in costs are not taken into account double crop means necessity of bigger buildings and bigger refrigidator / these differences in costs are not taken into account
applying waterboxx can be done with low educated people and as the work itself is light, with possibly with females applying computerized high tech irrigation demands higher educated personel, so less chances for low educated people  As applying the technology is heavy work, this work is less appropriate for females

Remarks
Groasis Technology in comparison with drip irrigation
The project duration is 50 years as treeprojects (vines, olives,avocados, dates, etc.) always are longterm projects
All costs independent from use of Groasis waterboxx or drip irrigation that are equal have not been accounted in this document, so this document does not show all costs of tree plantations
As an example: the cost for a warehouse is not calculated, as for both systems one needs a warehouse
This means that this document cannot be used as a template for tree planting calculations. It focuses only on the financial differences caused by the use of the Groasis Technology compared to drip irrigation
Note: if column C in tab 'assumptions' states 1/0, complete calculation tab lines as following: Yes = 1, No = 0

Key Indicators     Waterboxx Drip Irrigation
Net Present Value (NPV) million EUR                        (13,49)                         (369,32) Net present value (NPV) is the total present value of a time series of cash flows; it measures the excess or shortfall of cash flows, in present value terms, once financing charges are met. NPV is an indicator of how much value an investment or project adds for the investor; it is an indicator of the value or magnitude of an investment.
Internal Rate of Return (IRR) %   N/A N/A The internal rate of return (IRR) is a rate of return used to measure and compare the profitability of investments. The internal rate of return on an investment is the annualized effective compounded return rate that can be earned on the invested capital; it is the interest rate at which the costs of the investment lead to the benefits of the investment. This means that all gains from the investment are inherent to the time value of money and that the investment has a zero net present value at this interest rate. IRR is an indicator of the efficiency, quality, or yield of an investment.
Capital employed million EUR                          (4,86)                           (53,09) Capital employed represents the capital investment necessary for the project.
Financing need million EUR                        (51,56)                     (1.755,45) Maximum project finance needed during project duration
Payback (break even) years                               50                                  50 Payback period refers to the period of time required for the return on an investment to "repay" the sum of the original investment (capital employed).
Water requirements over project lifetime million liters                       188,75                  283.125,00 Total water requirements - Waterboxx filled in year 1 only, drip irrigation has regular water supply to trees

Risk analysis
Groasis Technology Drip irrigation
if growing on rocks lower investment in soil higher investment in soil
if growing on rocks lower interest costs on capital investment in soil higher capital costs
No inflation of costs risk inflation of costs risk
no risk of higher costs for energy risk of higher energy cost
no risk of lack of availability of ground water risk of lack of groundwater
no risk caused by political decisions risk of political decisions
no risk on ban on use of groundwater risk on ban on use of groundwater if cities have lack of water during periods of drought
no risk on brackish water problems heavy use of drip irrigation may lead to brackish groundwater, already many areas world wide have been left for this reason
no risk on losing crop if use of groundwater is banned risk of losing crop if irrigation is banned, this might happen with a severe drought when cities get priority. This might happen in the coming 100 years as a cause of climate change
no risk of rising prices of irrigation water water price per liter will rise considerably, when price rises from 0,001 euro to 0,01 euro per liter (cost comparison cel J15) the cost of water rises to 625,000 euro (cost comparison cel G9). Drip irrigation production will then give a loss
No risk on soil salination if irrigation water contains minerals and/or salt, over time the soil will be polluted and also too salted to produce and turn into unusable eternally. This is undoubtedly the case with water from natural sources with high mineral levels, from cleaned sewage water sources of produced from seawater through the reversed osmosis technology. Several formerly fertile zones in California have now been abandoned for this reason. Many cities in the Middle East start to replace the soil where trees are dying as raising the water gift doesn't help anymore. The certain capital loss caused by this reason is unimaginable high and cannot be solved others than by higher water gifts until the conductivity of the soil is higher than that of the roots. Once this level has been reached the plants will die because of draught even if the roots are surrounded by water. See photo.

growing on rocks possible growing on rocks not possible
sustainable - only in the first year water is used between 20 to 100 liters depending from the growing place not sustainable - plants are eternally irrigated with scarce goundwater or expensive filtered water through reversed osmosis. Trees in cities in Middle East receive daily 60 to 100 liters per day. This is average 2,920,000 liters in 100 years. Vines receive between 800 to 1,400 liters per year per plant. This is average 110,000 liters per plant in 100 years. As soon as water is priced, this way of producing is outdated.
less fungicide use = less risk for personel high fungicide use = higher risk for personel
higher product quality level lower product quality level
higher sales price for the product because of better internal and external quality lower sales price
eco label possible eco label not possible
less complicated management complicated management
less crop means less wear of machinery/ less use of energy/ less packing material/ lower transportcosts/ etc. / these differences in lower costs are not taken into account in this template double crop means double wear of machinery/ double use of energy in warehouses/ double packing material/ double transportcosts/ etc. / these differences in higher costs are not taken into account in this template
less crop means necessity of smaller buildings and smaller refrigidator / these differences in costs are not taken into account double crop means necessity of bigger buildings and bigger refrigidator / these differences in costs are not taken into account
applying waterboxx can be done with low educated people and as the work itself is light, with possibly with females applying computerized high tech irrigation demands higher educated personel, so less chances for low educated people As applying the technology is heavy work, this work is less appropriate for females
