Almond Orchard Cultivation, Turn Key

In 2018-2019, Almond Orchard was designed on 1000 hectares in the village of Bodbe, Sighnaghi Municipality, Kakheti region by Agro Solutions.

As part of the same service, the Turn Key project for cultivating an almond orchard on 120 hectares was implemented.

Georgian and foreign experts of the company prepared an electronic map for the implementation of the project, using a geoinformation (GIS) system, in which all the parameters of the plot were fully described:

• Windbreak
• Fence contour
• Internal roads
• Plant cultivation scheme
• Irrigation plan - location of the filter station, main and sub-main pipes, reservoir, etc.
• Industrial and administrative space (marked on the map location if: warehouses, dryer / enterprise, administrative building, etc.)

The agronomists prepared an agro-technical map of almonds taking into account the soil-climatic conditions and other characteristics of the target region, which included detailed information on the agro-technical measures required for almond culture and the terms of their implementation.

As part of the project, the company's agronomists and agribusiness managers provided full cycle project management, oversight and coordinated processes on 120 hectares. They were fully involved in all stages of the project - from land preparation to planting. 

To cultivate the crop, the company provided planting pits and an almond orchard cultivation at GPS-designated points.
