RegionThe wider region of south-east Vojvodina in general and Bela Crkva municipality in particular is considered to be an ecologically clean areal. The water and soil in the show no significant pollution. The surface, and especially the subterranean water (trapped by the local mountains) is of a high quality. The fresh air is additionally purified by winds blowing from the south-east (The Danube). The soil is traditionally well kept and even though it shows somewhat higher level of acidity, it is less leveraged by synthetic materials than in the EU, on average. The purity of the area is well preserved as it is positioned in-between 3 nature parks. Serbia is per definition, by the power of law, a GMO free country.

Growing Crops
We typically seed 1/3 of the surface in autumn and the remaining portion in spring. The level of 3rd party inputs is kept low: At least 20% of the seeds is our own heirloom and microbiological fertilizers are used only optionally. Commercial forward contracting typically covers half of the expected yield and is usually done by the summer harvest. The surfaces are typically dedicated to the following grains and oil seeds: Soft wheat (400-600ha), Sunflower HO/LO (200-400ha), Soy (50-150ha), Rye (100-200ha), Spelt (50-150ha), Oil raps (50-150ha), Peas (100-100ha), Oat (50-150ha) and Barley (50-100ha).

As to the future developments, we are currently considering investing in pasta, flaking and sprouting lines. |
