hi!
if your scenario is tropical, i could be of help. also you need to define your goals and your economic objectives. you can go major crop coffee and intercrop with durian for example. let me know exactly what you have in mind.
thanks,

You didn't mention where you are. I assume from your list (vanilla, etc.)
that you are someplace tropical. If you were in the US you could just contact
your local Ag Extension, or the university. If you're in some out of the way
place like Trinidad I'm sure they have something quite similar. I suspect there
are few places by now in the semi-developed world that don't sponsor some sort
of ag research and statistical base through the ministry of agriculture or the
schools. Go down to the library and ask around. That's what librarians are
there for-- answering questions that have been asked before.

Hope this helps,

Mike
