I feel bad for the farmers, I doubt Pongamia Trees will replace all their lost revenue. Citrus only generates about $7k per year per acre in revenue. From a tax perspective, you're looking at about ~$100 per acre per year. You're getting 10x that from a single small house. Citrus farming is not a good business. It's probably for the best if those people do something more productive with their land. Pongamia, producing more fat and protein, is probably a better option. Farmers aren't stupid. They wouldn't be switching if it wasn't a better ooption.
