Thanks to an off-take agreement, all our nuts are guaranteed to sell at a fixed price.
The oil from the nuts is refined into biofuel, a sustainable alternative to fossil fuel.

Investment expenditure per tree
Your investment per tree.
Annual yield per tree
You receive the proceeds of the nuts from your trees in the form of returns. This consists of repayment of your loan and interest on the borrowed amount. The return calculation is based on 2 main factors: the volume of the nuts on the trees and the price per kilogram of nuts. Before we pay out your return, several costs have to be paid. After deducting these costs, an average return of 7.8% per year, per tree remains. The distribution of costs and profit per mature tree of 7 years or older is as follows:
