AVOCADO FARMING AS AN INVESTMENT
Avocado farming
Fertile land along the Mediterranean Coast has new produce being talked about. This is only due to the creativity of the local farmers and ideas from European food businesses help. The demand is created and with experiment and practice, then new methods are discovered. Avocado entered the Turkish market as an imported fruit first. When the price has been set, local farmers sat with engineers and the first attempt’s been made about 17 years ago. Now, Avocado one of the most popular ways to evaluate your land, especially if you do not want to spend a lot on greenhouses.

Avocado does not need a lot of water. Maintenance other than the first 3-4 years is less costly compared to other produce in the region. Fruit production starts when the trees get stronger branches, and this is usually after 3,5 years from the start. Returns from #Avocado increase gradually especially after year 7, because the trees will reach approximately 9 metres high and after this the returns grow rapidly.
