 * The decrease in income and profit in recent years is associated with the uprooting of unpromising varieties of apples and planting of new ones.

In 2021, 11 hectares of export Jeremini apples were planted. In 3 years, this orchard will increase the amount of marketable apples by 350 tons. It is also planned to purchase a fossovka line for packing apples in balls and nets, this protection will allow an increase of 250 tons of marketable apples.

The complex of these measures will allow the business to pay off in 4 years.

Sale price: $4,000,000 (discount from pre-war offer - 50%, urgent sale)
