Lands located in active farming zones always increase due to high demand from local and international investors. We have been monitoring a dramatic value increase in some parts of Manisa and Antalya cities of Turkey. Based on the last five years’ data, we can clearly state that farmland prices increased an average of 20% every year. In light of this fact, it is easy to make future forecasts of the selected areas.

– Each selected farmland to be developed as a planted garden, is selected by eliminating many others.

– Entire land preparation items such as bringing electricity and water connections are being made professionally.

– We plant only certified and healthy trees on the farmlands.

The above development items are also increasing the value of the farmland at least the amount of the investment held.

Every different location has its farmland price standards. Distances from the main facilities such as the city center, main highway, utility infrastructures, airport, etc, are playing the role on determining the sale price of the farmland.

There are many different kind of each different product. specifying the type of the trees as good or bad ould not be accurate in agricultural business. correct approach is to select correct kind of the tree according to the soil and weather conditions and the height from the sea level. 

When planting the most suitable kind of the tree and orginise the environment according to it’s requirements, we manage to create the Optimum Growing Environment (O.G.E).

To ensure maximum productivity, experienced agricultural engineers are assigned to investors’ open farmland projects with check-up schedules to follow the growths and identify any risk items before it hapens.

The sale price varies according to product types. However, our financial teams work closely to observe market sale prices and build the optimal project-specific feasibilities.

Since predictable and unpredictable projects are the two main categories in open farmland projects, predictable projects such as Walnut – Almond open farmlands can be forecasted and studied through detailed feasibilities. And thus, from our financial and market operations studies, we can confirm that these projects are indexed to USD sale prices.

To stand on ethical grounds with our investors, we make sure that our feasibilities are built according to worst-case scenarios.

From simple electricity cables to pressure-holding irrigation systems, many different development items are being used to create optimum farmland projects in Turkey. Our purchase team selects the best price-performance balanced items by negotiating at least 3 different suppliers for each to ensure that AIM Farmlands will provide the best /cheapest project purchase price in the market.

When investors have a lower initial purchase price, it directly increases the rate of Return on Investment (ROI).

To cultivate healthy open farmland projects there are multiple annual cost items;

– Proper liquid and hard organic fertilizers, medicine, daily workers, water and electricity consumption costs, full-time labor salary, and maintenance costs.

These costs are changing depends on the project size and planted tree types. At the beginning of the farmland selection, we provide detailed feasibility and forecast future annual operation costs for each farmland.

– Every project AIM farmland develops is fully private and full ownership belongs to the investor.

– Also service fee of the AIM farmland for management of the Project is 20% of the net harvest income. We never request fixed management fees to show that we trust in our projects and we will be earning as much as we generate more money from investors’ farmlands.

Land selection according to the lab results of the soil and water, planting suitable trees, and preparing the infrastructure according to the area, are crucial to eliminating numerous risk items of the business. However, as a nature of agricultural business, there are always some factors, such as sudden climate changes, heavy rain, hail, freeze, etc. that can not be foreseen or prevented by the management.

TARSIM is the agricultural insurance institution of the Turkish Government and is the perfect solution for these sorts of force majeure events.
