Impressive scale. Inspiring technologies.
Hazel is native to Ukrainian forests. Hazelnut, as a cultivated form of hazel, is perfectly suited to our soils. The orchard was established in 2018. Today, the planting area exceeds 500 hectares. Located on the outskirts of the city of Tetiyiv ("POPP ELITA"). The enterprise is part of the Gals Agro agricultural holding.
The project was created according to strict Italian standards. We have integrated advanced global solutions: from automated tree health monitoring to intelligent nutrition systems. The technological ecosystem will thrive for decades for the sustainability and well-being of future generations.

Minimized pesticide load preserves the purity of the soil and the environment.
Efficiency
Requires minimal manual labor. 100 hectares of orchard are maintained by only 5-7 qualified specialists.
Energy Surplus
Thanks to solar energy, we produce more energy than the orchard consumes.
Storage
The nut does not require refrigerators or active cooling systems.
Gold for Health
This crop has a thousand-year history and has always been valued for its taste and unique composition. The fruits are considered "gold" due to their high nutritional value. This is a product of conscious consumption. It fits perfectly into a healthy diet, fostering an attitude toward food as a value rather than just empty calories.
Contribution to the Future
Perennial plantings contribute to the preservation of the region's ecosystem. A hazelnut orchard can remain fully productive for over 50 years. With steadily growing demand for nutritious nuts and superfoods, the potential for growth is immense. Our nuts travel from the Kyiv region's orchards to store shelves worldwide, creating the technological future of Ukrainian agriculture.
