Supporting Agriculture and Beyond
Yegen Farm is dedicated to sustainable crop production, integrating forestry, horticulture, and innovative irrigation systems. Our journey began with a mix of eucalyptus plantations, mango trees, and banana varieties tailored for cooking and ripening. Over the years, we’ve introduced an irrigation system by Irico Company, enabling the cultivation of assorted vegetables and establishing an avocado nursery. Today, our focus is on growing seasonal crops and avocados, ensuring quality and sustainability in every harvest.
