Investment Opportunity

Sustainable carob production for growing markets

A structural supply gap in the global carob market—driven by 65% decline in Mediterranean cultivation—creates a compelling window for new production in climate-suitable regions with lower cost structures.

100-YEAR ASSET

A 100-Year Asset for Generational Wealth

Unlike annual crops requiring yearly replanting or orchards with 25-30 year lifespans, carob trees produce for over a century—creating a true generational asset that appreciates in value and yield over time.
