# Historical performance and basis for future projections

Ortusol’s projections are based on real production data, validated operating costs, and secured sales agreements. This structured approach ensures transparency and accuracy in estimating long-term outcomes.

#### Key Production Pilot Data

To validate the model before scaling, Ortusol conducted a 1.5-hectare production pilot at its facilities in Malawi, assessing cultivation efficiency, yield optimization, and demand validation.

* Pilot area: 1.5 hectares, rotated in 0.5-hectare cycles per month.
* Crop density: 4,000 plants per hectare.
* Initial production: 100g of dry flower per plant, with optimization towards 350g per plant at full yield.
* Validated operating costs: Real data on infrastructure, labor, and post-harvest costs.
* Regulatory compliance: GACP and GMP certifications in progress for export markets.

This real-world data serves as the foundation for future production and redemption models, factoring in climate conditions, cost structures, and efficiency improvements at each stage.

#### Factors Supporting Sustainable Value

1. Cost Efficiency

* Three times more efficient than indoor cultivation.
* Use of natural resources, including fertile soil, water access, and favorable climate, reduces operational costs.
* Optimized post-harvest processing minimizes drying and curing expenses.

2. Secured Sales and Market Access

* Token holders redeem their cannabis at the end of each production cycle.
* Those opting for Ortusol’s commercialization service can have their redeemed cannabis sold through secured agreements with buyers in Spain, the UK, Germany, and Australia.
* Diversified product segments, including dried flowers, CBD biomass, and essential oils, provide multiple sales channels.

3. Liquidity Through Commodity-Based Ownership

* Tokens represent a direct claim on physical cannabis production.
* Token holders can take possession of their cannabis or use Ortusol’s service to facilitate sales.
* Distribution proceeds for those utilizing the commercialization service are converted to USDC, allowing seamless access to global financial markets.

Ortusol ensures a transparent, structured, and accessible way to participate in real-world cannabis production, providing full ownership and flexible commercialization options.
