This is a turnkey hazelnut orchard in the fertile agricultural belt of Southeast Serbia. Planted in 2018 with four elite Italian and French varieties, the orchard is entering its peak productive years with significant yield growth still ahead. The property is fully operational, professionally managed, and generating income today.
The farm sits on 3.78 hectares of prime agricultural land with ideal microclimate conditions for hazelnut cultivation — warm summers, adequate rainfall, and well-drained soil. It is located within easy reach of major processing facilities and export routes.
The orchard was planted with four carefully selected varieties chosen for their complementary pollination, shell quality, and market premium:
| Variety | Plants | Share | Key Trait |
|---|---|---|---|
| Giffoni | 979 | 43% | Premier Italian, thin shell, easy-peel |
| Nocchione | 780 | 34% | Self-fertile, large round nut |
| Fertil | 281 | 13% | French, high productivity, salinity-tolerant |
| Romana | 235 | 10% | Top-tier PDO, compact crunchy texture |
The PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) varieties command a market price of €11/kg shelled — a 57–83% premium over generic hazelnuts at €6–7/kg. This price premium is locked in by variety certification and origin traceability.
Hazelnut trees follow a well-understood productivity curve. This orchard is currently at 70% capacity (5 tonnes in-shell) and will reach peak production of 12 tonnes in Years 10–12 — representing a 140% yield increase from current levels with no additional capital input.
| Phase | Years | Yield (tonnes) | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Establishment | 1–4 | 0–2 | Past |
| Early Production | 5–7 | 2–4 | Past |
| Current | 8 | 5 | Now — 70% capacity |
| Peak Production | 10–12 | 12 | Ahead — 140% growth |
| Mature | 13–50 | 10–12 | Long-term stable |
The productive lifespan of these trees is 40–60 years (average 50), meaning this asset will generate income for decades with proper management.
