We managed to create our own raw material base on land ideal for raising cherry and plum plantations. Near the industrial complex in Aleksinac, land in the territory of Leskovac, Vlasotince and Aleksinac, we leased 420 ha of agricultural land for 30 years.

 

In the period from 2018 to today, extensive investments were made in the process of bringing leased abandoned land to its intended purpose (clearing, clearing, application of agrotechnical measures, improvement of soil quality, fertilization...)

 

Planting on about 350 hectares has been completed, and for 2023, the planting of "Stanley" plums on another 50 hectares is planned.

 

The plantations are strategically distributed in 3 different locations (region of Leskovac, Vlasotince and Aleksinac) due to mild climatic conditions during the period of orchard exploitation, with the aim of minimizing the risk of natural disasters (hail, frost, drought...) through territorial dispersion.

 

The expected yields in the year of full bearing are over 3,000 tons of our own fresh plums and over 3,000 tons of our own fresh cherries, which, with the continuation of the outstanding partnership cooperation with our verified subcontractors, would enable the final provision of 7,000 - 8,000 tons of fresh cherries for the processing season and 7,000 - 8000 tons of fresh plums for the processing season.
