Most businesses are cyclical. They go up and come down. People ignore them when they are at the bottom and most common people tend to invest at the peak of the cycle. People loose their investment when there is a downfall and keep away from that business. In the next cycle a new set of people come in. This cyclical ups and downs are common and just a matter of time.Similar to cyclical businesses, scam businesses have a day and night cycle. The length of a day may be a year or two but the night is lengthy, probably a decade or two.In the late eighties gullible people invented the business model of selling or leasing land with tree plantation. In those days it was mostly teak plantations. The business model was to buy few acres in the vicinity of a big city and teak plants were grown. Certain square yards were allocated to each plant and mostly each plant was sold at a thousand rupees each.The modus operandi wasThe head of the company buys land in the name of his family members and leases the same to plantation company. The company plant the trees and offer the same on lease or sale to the public. People were trapped by saying thatTeak plants of improved quality (like hybrid rice or vegetables) are down and they produce timber of commercial quality within twenty years.The company would take care of the plants for twenty years and the money realised by selling the timber would be given to the investor.Intermittent trees would be cut in ten years and hence some revenue would be generated in between.Teak yield was highly exaggerated and also the probable price at the time of cutting was much highly quoted.If the land was for sale, it would be used as a house plot after tree telling.As the income is of agricultural in nature, no taxes are applicable.Company shall also liaison with all government departments and fetch all permissions for sale of timber.In case of lease the company would issue some bond with some fineprint, making it a useless paper.Even the sale deeds might be fake, as in those days, all registration procedure and document retrieval was manual.The company engaged many sales people on commission basis. They lured all their relatives and friends and could sell the plants.Companies managed the show as long as it could sell the pplant and as the sales dwindled, they wound up their offices.After teak plantations, companies sold rice farms, goat farms, rabit farms and many such things. I have personally seen many people duped by the plantation schemes and loosing a lot of money. I have practically seen the plantation farms, left to the wind and plants chopped off later. I was in my mid twenties at the time of this scam and somehow kept out of the things on advice of few well-wishers. I also remember a discussion with a senior forest official about the income projected by the plantation companies and he without a second thought told that it is all exaggerated.Now that most people have forgotten these things as about thirty years have passed, the methodology is again being tried on the new generation. However I don't think the going will be easy for the companies. I have seen a few selling agents and they themselves are not much aggressive. As gathering information is so easy nowadays and most transactions are other than cash mode it will be difficult for the scamsters to escape without trace. However few people will always fall for the windfall returns offered and I sincerely wish that people will see through the game.

When the majority of the male and able-bodied population was mobilized for the war effort (including the so-called “Bevin boys”), there was not much workforce left to till the fields, harvest the crops and tend to the livestock at home. And after V-E day and V-J day not all of them could be magically teleported back to their homeland. A lot of them had to stay put and carry on with the occupation of former enemy countries, some others had to be deployed in areas where local unrest threatened a fragile peace.Add to this the fact that food shipments from the U.S. under the lend-lease agreement stopped as soon as the ink dried on the surrender declarations, and that even with tens of thousands Italian and German POWs working in British farms, food and agricultural production remained a fraction of the prewar figures. It took some time for the British GDP to recover, as it couldn't happen overnight.
