Pistachio Project Carviçais · Douro Superior

Commercial strategy and partnerships

The sale must be designed before planting. The goal is to reduce commercial risk through an offtake or processing partner.

Value chain

    Quality set from cultivar choice and orchard management onwards.

  2. 2

    Harvest

    Mechanised

  4. 4

    Commercialisation

    Industry, hospitality, patisserie and chocolate.

Priority: secure an expression of interest or LOI from a buyer or processor before financial close.

Scale vision

The 40 ha can be the core of a regional platform rather than the limit of the project.

40 ha

Phase I

75 ha

Phase II

100+ ha

Regional cluster

  • New properties or leases
  • Associated growers
  • Regional processing unit once critical mass is reached

Expansion to 75–100+ ha is a strategic vision, not land currently secured.
