Do I receive updates or reports?
Yes. You’ll receive annual reports detailing farm performance, income, and projections.
Agricultural & Technical Questions
Why are Chandler walnuts a strong long-term investment?
Chandler is globally preferred for its kernel yield, thin shell, and export potential. It produces steadily for 30+ years.
Why Arbequina olives in Egypt & Spain?
Arbequina is drought-tolerant, early-yielding, and in high global demand — ideal for both fresh sale and oil.
What is intercropping and how does it benefit me?
Intercropping involves planting fast-yielding crops (e.g., lavender, thyme) between tree rows. This improves soil health and generates early income in Spain and Türkiye.
Exit Strategy & Resale
What if I want to sell or exit in the future?
TOM Projects offers resale support, lease-back options, or assistance in finding new buyers.
Is there a minimum holding period?
There is no strict minimum, but for full ROI potential, we recommend holding until the trees mature (3–5 years).
Can I transfer the ownership to my children or heirs?
Yes. Ownership is transferable and can be inherited or resold based on each country’s local rules.
