| Macquarie Almond Investment process |
| Establishment |
Small seedlings are planted and almond budwood grafted onto the trees |
| Growing |
The trees are managed by our expert team whose
responsibilities include training and pruning, weed spraying, supply of water and fertilization and management of the irrigation infrastructure.
This year, bees have been introduced for pollination and the trees are bearing commercial qualities of almonds.
The trees should reach full maturity after approximately six to seven years from planting. |
| Harvest |
The first harvest is expected to take place in 2011, and annually thereafter. |
| Processing and Sale |
Almondco has been engaged to process and sell the almonds giving you comfort that even before the trees have been planted, arrangements will be signed for the purchase of your almonds. Almondco is a long established processor and marketer of almonds. |
