Bulgaria has long traditions, extensive experience in agriculture and very rich farmland. Now is the right time to revitalise and develop further the country's agriculture, which unfortunately is not utilized and managed effectively to its full potential.
Our company which owns excellent farmland near the Danube river has successfully grown and sold profitably wheat, barley and sunflower. Excellent business relationships were cultivated with the Bulgarian Soy Research Institute, soil institutes and seed suppliers in Japan and Bulgaria, with leading foreign land management and commodities production funds operating in the area.
With further growth in mind we obtained all permits and licenses, including EU subsidy approval for about 50% of the construction cost of a vegetable oil factory to be build on our land plot. Further growth is envisioned through modern irrigation, expansion of areas under cultivation through lease agreements, and solar panel energy generation on the grounds of the factory.
