Default Re: TianZi Nature's Products - Exciting Possibilities

Yes, I'm licensed to receive Musa itinerans from China.

After my initial inquiry, I've just been pondering how we can create value both ways. My big hang-up is their complete lack of success delivering healthy plant material. If we all band together to adopt some acreage at a price, I don't have much confidence that the reciprical relationship will be satisfactory. Dr. Margraf was not at liberty to discuss his thoughts on why the Chinese government has made it nearly impossible for him to get things out of the country. And if he can't control that, how can we control much of anything over there. Currently he has created a few of these adoption programs with companies in France and Germany. For them, they get carbon credits, and such. For us, as simple citizens, we could care less about carbon credits. I'm very much into promoting responsible stewardship of native flora, but I can't get around this hang-up.

I just don't think he's gonna be into the group buy thing, and I don't know if we should want to try that.
