But let's be realistic for once if she pays 70% profit , how much is for her labour , risk and miscellaneous, sometimes failures of project is even shown from the planing but we don't value risk assessment

70% profit in 5 months? Haba now! That's an interest rate of 168% per annum. Even banks that loan out won't collect such yet an investor wants such. Some people open their eyes widely and still enter into unrealistic investments. Is farming that lucrative that after incurring costs before, during and after planting, having some harvest losses maybe, and still facing the challenge of sales of the produce one can yet make more than 200% as profits and still be able to pay 168% to silent partners?
