AGRARCO
Hazelnut Orchards
We own and manage 2,000 ha of hazelnut orchards today. To achieve the strategic goal of 5,000 ha, an additional 2,500 ha of land was leased for 49 years after a comprehensive and lengthy study of soil, climate and the environment. Hazelnut orchards in 2,500 ha of land are developed gradually: circa 300-500 ha of land per year starting from autumn 2020.
In 2018, Agrarco created the first 20 ha nursery in order to provide the new orchards with healthy, local-adapted seedlings and eliminate dependence on plant imports.
An additional 50 ha of land is allocated for nursery, to plant 1 million local ata-baba hazelnut seedlings.
Fresh Fruit Orchards
Our company has about 400 ha of fresh fruit orchards. The strategic goal is 1,000 ha of intensive orchards and 200 ha are planned to be planted every year. Technical and advisory services for the gardens are provided by the renowned French company EcofruitConseil.
We provide a full range of services from cultivation and processing to packaging and delivery. Fruits are mainly exported, but some of them are sold domestically.

Production process and export
Our products are sorted, dried, calibrated and packaged using high-tech solutions from leading European equipment manufacturers.
Fresh fruits are stored in an atmosphere controlled environment at a temperature of
-2/+ 4 (± 1) with a relative humidity of 90-95% and are packed in alveolar paper boxes before the sale.
Hazelnuts are packed in jute bags, big bags, vacuum bags, and cardboard boxes, depending on the customer’s request. We store at a temperature of +18 (± 2) so far, with a relative humidity of 60-65%. But after the delivery of the refrigeration complexes, the kernel will be stored in atmosphere controlled warehouses at a temperature of ±5.
