More about the 10 x 10 x 10,000 Project:
We call the project 10 x 10 x 10,000 ( Presently at KIC ten familiies growing 100 taro plants for 10 months producing 8 huli x 100 plants =800 huli for the second year replanting. Next year will give them 800 x 8 = 6400 huli for the 3rd year. The 4th year the yield should be 10,000 pounds of taro harvested in 1/4 acres incrementally.
Our dream is to produce 10,000 pounds per month divided by 4 weeks = 2,500 # per week (equate to 2,500 # poi per week.
