Tom Projects is an agricultural development and operating company active in Egypt and Türkiye since 2019.
Tom Projects develops and operates structured farmland projects in Egypt and Türkiye. The company began in 2019 with agricultural land development in Türkiye and has since expanded into Egypt, building specialised expertise in walnut and olive cultivation.
Our model has evolved from experience. Early projects revealed that fragmented small-plot sales created operational problems at every stage. The current model focuses on fewer, larger, disciplined projects where Tom Projects retains operational control from land acquisition through export.
The company is headquartered in Istanbul with permanent agronomic and field teams in both operating countries.
The company was founded in 2019 to address what we saw as a gap in the market: thoughtful participants who wanted productive agricultural land, without having to become farmers themselves. The first several years focused on Türkiye, where freehold title and established agricultural infrastructure made participation straightforward.
By 2022, we had learned that fragmented title — selling small plots to individual participants — created compounding operational problems. Water infrastructure could not be rationalised across dozens of owners. Reporting became administratively impossible. Field management suffered when neighbouring plots followed different protocols.
The response was structural. Projects were restructured around Special Purpose Vehicles that held the land as a single entity, with participants owning shares. Private Farmland was retained as an option — but only at minimum operational scale. Egypt was added in 2023 with the same model, adapted for Egyptian law and the olive crop profile.
Today, Tom Projects operates under a model that prioritises project scale, legal clarity, and long-term operational discipline over volume growth.
The team is organised around three functional disciplines — not around celebrity biographies. Projects succeed through disciplined execution across all three.
Land sourcing, legal due diligence, structural design, infrastructure planning. Responsible for ensuring every project begins on clean title, with viable water, and with a legal structure that holds up to scrutiny.
Crop selection, planting protocols, irrigation design, soil and pest management. Permanent field teams in Egypt and Türkiye. Technical decisions are made by people with dirt on their boots, not consultants.
Day-to-day field work, harvest logistics, participant reporting, processing, and export. The layer that determines whether a project delivers or not.
"To develop farmland projects that combine ownership with professional agricultural execution — using a model that prioritises project scale, legal clarity, and long-term operational discipline."
