What we are
building above Ilat.
Twenty-five hectares held on long lease, nineteen of them planted, forty thousand trees in the ground since August 2025 — and the water, power and roads built alongside them rather than after.
Get in touch →The land, today.
Ground that had never been farmed has been cleared, terraced where the slope required it, irrigated and planted. Roads run through it. Water, power and storage were built alongside the trees rather than after them.
Built in stages,
on the land’s terms.
Land taken on in June. Clearing, access roads, the spring tapped and the pump installed, and the full solar array - more than 350 panels - built. First planting from August.
Planting on to 40,000 trees across nineteen hectares. The road network extended through the blocks. Offices, storage and staff accommodation built. Sprinklers added on 5,000 trees. The first fruit appears on the earliest trees.
A second source drilled, storage increased, the array extended beyond 500 panels with a second pump. Planting continues toward 60,000 trees.
First commercial crop expected. Certification in place for the markets we are targeting.
What comes next
The holding will be extended toward 29 hectares, taking the orchard past 60,000 trees. The water and power to serve it are already being built.
A share of any harvest cannot be sold fresh - fruit that falls, fruit marked on one side, fruit knocked in handling. We are developing two routes that give it a destination: cold-pressed oil, and freezing. Both are in development ahead of the first harvest.
Farms are usually
built by farmers.
This one was built by a group that spends its working life moving earth, laying pipe and putting up buildings in difficult places — AG Vision Group, across Nigeria, South Sudan and Lebanon, in construction, mineral exploration, heavy equipment engineering and trading.
The orchard is our first agricultural venture, and it was built the way we build everything else.
