Walnut Investment Feasibility

For a Walnut garden investment to succeed, it is imperative that a detailed feasibility report is completed before the acquisition. The report will be prepared by professionals in the Walnut market andwill clearly highlight how profitable the investment will be.

 

A financial analysis is fundamental to the feasibility of a Walnut investment. To make an accurate analysis, it should include the location,soil characteristics and the type of sapling to be cultivated. In this context, soil samples are analyzed from different parts of the land. Another factor for our professional team to consider is the climate in the region. Our agriculture management team will determine the preferred Walnut sapling based on the results.

 

 

Financial Analysis of a Walnut Investment

 

The results of the feasibility study will provide us facts surrounding the expected expenses and potential returns on the Walnut investment. Walnut investments normally start to provide a return from the 4th year, with optimum productivity reached when the trees are between 8 and 10 years. The actual returns depends on the soil, climatic characteristics and the correct ongoing maintenance being carried out.

 

The initial investment amount may vary depending on the size and characteristics of the land. However, the normal initial investment cost is USD75,000 for 1 hectare of land. This amount will include buying the land, establishing your garden, surrounding your land with wire fencesand activating the irrigation systems. In addition, depending on the location of the land, we may need to provide electricity through solar panels. This cost is also included in the initial investment.

 

The trees will need to develop in the first 3 years, so no Walnuts will be produced during this time. In this period, on average, the annual maintenance cost of the 1-hectare garden is about USD 2,000.

 

When your trees reach four years old, they begin to bear fruit. During this period, on average, 2.5 kg of Walnuts will take from each tree. This number equates to approximately 900 kilograms of Walnuts from the entire garden. When the trees are five years old, the number of Walnuts taken from the whole garden will be approximately 1.550 kg. When the trees are nine years old, we anticipate that 15 kg of walnuts will be available from each tree, meaning approximately 5 tons of Walnuts will be generated from the entire garden.

 

In the first three years, there will be no profit generated from your Walnut investment. However, starting from the 4th year, profits will begin and the yield will constantly increase until the trees are ten years old. When they reach 10 years old, the yield will then remain stable.

 

Based on current figures, the Walnut trees in the garden earn aboutUSD3,500 when they are four years old, aboutUSD8,400 when they are six years old, and about USD21,000 when they are ten years old. The figures here are averages and may vary depending on different factors. Once we have calculated the net profit amount, your annual maintenance cost of USD2,000 will be subtracted from that profit.
