Hello everyone.
I came up with an idea for a way to grow a valuable crop in Ethiopia, and I would like to start a business doing this. I have a BS in plant science/agriculture, but no experience growing this particular crop. I have thoroughly researched how to do it, though, and I came up with a novel method without which the crop would not be able to grow in Ethiopia. I explained the basic idea to investors already, but I am withholding many of the details until I negotiate my salary, benefits, and place in the company. Because this crop is slow to multiply its planting material, the business will be off to a slow start, but once there is enough planting material, it should be very profitable.
I am trying to get a sense of how much I could reasonably expect to get for salary and benefits.
About me: I am originally from the US, but I served in the Peace Corps in Zambia for over two years.
Thank you for the help.
