Economics still warrant review, but confidence is softer than normal.
Comes from a platform with softer recent reliability. High reinvestment fit: shorter duration keeps capital cycling quickly. Platform reliability score is soft, so sizing discipline matters more.

"text": "Death of an asset: Livestocks bear the risk of sudden death. In such cases, business incurs a loss of capital. 📌Shefa Agro’s strategy: After purchase, the business will ensure scheduled visits from the vets Having proper veterinary services available reduces the chance of death of livestocks significantly. Not getting expected growth after rearing: There is a chance of not getting the expected level of growth after rearing the bulls for the targeted timeline. This may impact the profit margin of the business. 📌Shefa Agro’s strategy: The owner, MD Saiful Islam, has had a good level of exposure in this line of business. The business will be purchasing cattle with necessary filtering, therefore, ensuring the expected growth of the cattle can be achieved. High sourcing cost & OPEX driving down profit margin: The cattle market has become quite volatile nowadays due to some unexpected market practice. On top of it, the operational cost of operating a cattle farm is increasing day by day as well, mainly due to the current inflationary pressure in the economy. 📌Shefa Agro’s strategy: The business has established a strong and reliable sourcing network over the years, enabling it to procure livestock at competitive prices while effectively managing procurement risks and price fluctuations. Moreover, the strategic location of the farm in Ashulia, Savar helps minimise operational and feeding costs, contributing to improved cost efficiency and overall business sustainability.",

"businessDetailsText": "Value Propositions Strong online presence and brand positioning of Shefa Natural Food is helping to grow Shefa Agro. 60+ cows sold in last Eid ul Adha 2026. Experienced owner with online business establishing experience, brand positioning, customer acquisition, and establishing organic repeated customer base. Introduction to the Business Written by Business Shefa Agro is an organic livestock farming initiative founded by Hafez Mohammad Saiful Islam, focusing on raising cattle and goats for the Qurbani market. The business started shortly before Qurbani Eid 2025 and quickly gained positive response from customers. Leveraging the strong market presence of Shefa Natural Food, the farm successfully sold all its livestock before Eid. Going forward, Shefa Agro plans to gradually expand its livestock capacity while maintaining quality, customer trust, and responsible farming practices. The goal is to become a trusted source of healthy cattle and goats for Qurbani buyers and a trusted source of meat for regular consumers, while continuing to benefit from the established brand reputation and loyal customer base of Shefa Natural Food. The last campaign achieved 100% of its repayment on time Farm Address: Uttor Baherchor, Taranogor Awal Market, Keraniginj. Explore: Facebook page FAQ: 💡 Is the business Shariah-compliant? The business model (selling livestock) is Shariah-compliant However, according to our Shariah Advisors, biniyog.io and the investors will NOT be liable if the day-to-day operations of the business are not fully Shariah-compliant. This is because investors will be going into a Bai’ Murabaha (sale contract), not profit-sharing or partnership. Please find contract details in the “Contract” section below. 💡 Is there any investment risk involved? Investments have risks by definition, especially if they are halal. Please find possible risk details for this campaign in the “Risk” section below.",
"contractDetailsText": "Duration of Investment The investment is for a period of 6 months, from August 2026 to February 2027. Projected ROI (Return on Investment) Projected ROI: 8.5%. Annualized expected return: 17%. biniyog.io will be charging investors a 1.36% success fee on repayment amount. Example: If an investor invests BDT 100,000, is expected to make a profit of BDT 10,000 over the mentioned period; biniyog.io will charge a 1.36% success fee on the repayment amount meaning BDT 1,500 will be deducted as the success fee. This means investors will be keeping BDT 8,500 as net profit. The net ROI for the investors will be 8.5% over the mentioned period (17% annualized) after deducting biniyog.io’s success fee. Contract Condition Investors will go into a Murabahah agreement (sale contract) with Shefa Agro to purchase cows and goats from rural farmers and local haats. It will be a “buy-and-sell” process where investors will first buy products through biniyog.io. Shefa Agro will then buy those items from investors on credit and pay the amount over the mentioned period. biniyog.io will act as an agent for the investors and buy the product, take necessary ownership and risk of asset possession on their behalf, and then sell to Shefa Agro. biniyog.io has proposed a price to Shefa Natural Food for the products after considering a minimum 10% profit on the actual cost of product procurement. Shefa Natural Food has agreed to it. Investors will be getting a net of 8.5% profit after deducting biniyog.io’s success fee on investor profit..
