An Israeli agricultural development company. Since 2006 we have built and managed dairy and beef farms, feed centres and feed bases, with experience in 32 countries.
We plan, establish, advise and manage agricultural businesses: dairy and beef farms, feed centres, field crop production, and milk production and processing.
Our approach is built on the experience of Israeli agriculture, one of the most technologically advanced in the world. We work with leading Israeli experts and equipment suppliers worldwide.
The company owns a dairy farm in Israel, so everything we recommend to clients has first been tested on our own operation.
