High Intensity Mango Farming Agricultural Engineer
Budget: $1,500 – $3,000 USD
Statement of Work for Agricultural Engineer
Project Title:
Evaluation of Land Parcel in Sicily for Mango Farm Establishment
Project Overview:
We are seeking the expertise of an agricultural engineer specializing in mango cultivation to
evaluate a 12-hectare land parcel in Sicily. The purpose of this evaluation is to determine the
suitability of the land for establishing a high-intensity mango farm using the espalier wall of
fruit methods. The engineer will provide recommendations on mango varieties, assess climate
and water resources, analyze soil quality, and evaluate wind conditions. Additionally, the
engineer will estimate the potential mango yield for the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th years assuming
best practices are followed.
Scope of Work:
1. Travel Arrangements:
o Flight tickets, accommodation, and local transport will be provided by the
client.
o Coordinate travel itinerary with the client’s logistics team.
2. Field Survey:
o Conduct a comprehensive on-site evaluation of the 12-hectare land parcel.
o Assess the suitability of the climate for mango cultivation.
o Evaluate water resources, including the on-site stream and potential for
irrigation pond development.
o Analyze soil quality through sampling and recommend any additional soil
testing if necessary.
o Assess wind conditions and their impact on the espalier wall of fruit method.
o Identify suitable mango varieties for the specific environmental conditions of
the site.
3. Data Analysis and Reporting:
o Compile and analyze data collected during the field survey.
o Provide a detailed report evaluating the land parcel’s suitability for mango
farming.
o Recommend mango varieties that are best suited for the local climate and soil
conditions.
o Estimate potential mango yield for the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th years assuming
best practices are followed.
4. Soil Analysis and Testing:
o Conduct or coordinate additional soil analysis and other testing as needed.
o Expenses for these tests will be covered by the client upon approval.
Deliverables:
1. Field Survey Report:
o Detailed evaluation of climate suitability.
o Assessment of water resources and irrigation potential.
o Soil quality analysis report.
o Evaluation of wind conditions.
o Recommendations on suitable mango varieties.
o Yield estimates for the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th years.
2. Final Comprehensive Report:
o Consolidated findings from the field survey and additional tests.
o Practical recommendations for farm establishment and management.
o Best practice guidelines for high-intensity mango farming using the espalier
wall of fruit method.
Payment Terms:
• Travel and Accommodation: Covered by the client
• Professional Fees: To be discussed and agreed upon
• Additional Testing Costs: Covered by the client upon approval
Qualifications:
• The agricultural engineer should have extensive experience in mango cultivation,
particularly with high-intensity farming methods.
• Proven track record of similar project evaluations and yield estimations.
• Ability to conduct thorough field surveys and produce detailed, actionable reports.
Contact Information:
• Client: David Schaus
• Logistics Coordinator: Leonardo Crsicione
This Statement of Work outlines the responsibilities and expectations for the agricultural
engineer evaluating the land parcel in Sicily. The successful execution of this project will
provide valuable insights for establishing a productive and sustainable mango farm.
