Why Australian South Seas Pearls?

High barriers to entry
Production restricted a strict quota system enforced by WA and NT fisheries, and other factors such as a limited number of farm sites.

Competitive advantages over rest of world
The quality and size of the pearl from the Australia native shell, and the isolation and pristine marine environment of Australia's north.

Sales and marketing
Strong demand outlook for this luxury export product as affluence continues to grow in Asia.

Project Interest (approx 100 seeded shell)	$6,300 (minimum of 2 interests)
Ongoing Fees	Ongoing management fees deferred and calculated as a % of harvest income for grower convenience.
Shell Insurance	Likely to be available at a cost of approx 2% of shell value.
