Agriculture

Winslow Agriculture began acquiring farm land in Bulgaria in 2004/5. The business currently farms 2,500 hectares in one block and owns 1,900 hectares across three main regions.

Winslow Agriculture has a proven track record in acquiring and operating Agricultural land in Bulgaria. Currently the company farms more than 4 500 ha of agricultural land in the region of Parvomai. We cultivate grain and oil crops: winter wheat, winter barley, corn, rapeseed and sunflower.

Winslow has particular strengths in direct Farm Management. Through operating the land to a high professional standard and generating strong operating returns – this will further underpin land value appreciation. It is more likely on exit that an Institution will capitalise income and therefore generating strong net returns will enhance capital values in the long run.

Land ownership in Bulgaria is extremely fragmented relative to many other countries (but quite similar to Romania and Czech Republic). This represents a challenge and at the same time Winslow have developed strategies to address this challenge.
