The various crops grown in Belize are diverse, including both traditional and non-traditional crops and livestock. The Belizean government supports the agriculture through various initiatives, including extension services, training programs, and incentives promoting sustainable practices. Consider growing some of the many crops that thrive in the beautiful climate and soil conditions of Belize, such as citrus fruits, coconut, cacao, sugar cane, peppers, vegetables or hardwood trees. A large farm would also provide many jobs to the locals in this area, and greatly stimulate the local economy.

Developing renewable energy projects, such as solar or wind farms, could also prove to be a lucrative venture. The Belizean government has implemented initiatives and policies to promote solar energy, including incentives for individuals and businesses adopting solar technologies. While wind energy has not been as prominent as solar energy in Belize, there have been discussions and plans for wind farm projects.

With Hopkins and the Caribbean sea less than 15 minutes away, a development in the tourism industry may be the venture for you; subdividing the land for residential development of lodges or vacation homes, or even establishing a resort could prove to be a very lucrative project in this area. Being in close proximity to many great tourist attractions such as the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sancuary, the Mayflower Bocawina National Park, the Maya Heights Resort and restaurant, and the Blue Hole National Park, is sure to bring in tourists from all across the globe.
