Where are almond farms for sale located?
Almond farms for sale can be found in numerous areas of Spain, as this crop is present in all regions of the country, except for Galicia, Asturias, and Cantabria. However, a larger supply can be found in the areas with the most land dedicated to its cultivation.
According to the latest Survey on Crop Areas and Yields (ESYRCE) for the year 2023, Andalusia is the autonomous community where almond cultivation is most present, with more than 214 thousand hectares. It is followed by Castilla-La Mancha (160,330 ha), Murcia Region (110,642 ha), Aragón (97,680 ha), and Valencia Community (91,702 ha).
What are the advantages of buying an almond farm compared to those dedicated to other crops?
Buying an almond farm offers a number of advantages compared to those dedicated to other crops that are worth considering.
The almond tree adapts better to adverse climatic conditions, such as high temperatures and drought. This woody crop can withstand temperatures of up to 35ºC and 40ºC.
It can also live between 60 and 80 years, with production lasting up to 25 years. Related to the above, the tree takes between 2 and 3 years to start bearing fruit, which is less compared to other woody plants. For example, olive trees take 5 years to start producing, and pistachio trees between 5 and 7 years. Therefore, with almonds, it is possible to start generating profits and recovering the investment in less time.
Finally, unlike other fruit trees, almonds can be harvested mechanically, so planting, pruning, and harvesting can be done using machinery. This helps reduce costs and time.
When is the almond harvested?
The almond harvesting period on an almond farm usually takes place from August to September, meaning between the end of summer and the beginning of autumn.
However, the exact date may vary depending on the climatic conditions of the area where it is cultivated and the variety planted. Varieties such as Blanquerna or Guara have early ripening, while others like Soleta have late ripening. The farming system used on the almond farm also plays an important role in the fruit's ripening time.
What type of soil is recommended for an almond farm?
Although the almond tree can grow on different types of soil, the best ones for its development are loamy or loamy-sandy soils, as its growth is worse on heavy soils.
These soils should be deep to allow the proper development of the almond tree roots, permeable so that water drains well without causing waterlogging, and have good drainage because it is a crop sensitive to root asphyxiation.
Before making a decision, it is advisable to ensure that the soil of the almond farm has these characteristics.
Has almond cultivation increased in Spain?
Yes, although almond cultivation in Spain has existed for thousands of years, the increase in demand has boosted its planting, leading to an expansion in its surface area at the expense of other crops, such as cereals. Currently, almond cultivation covers 59.1% of the surface area of non-citrus fruit trees, with over 765,000 hectares.
This increase is driven by a shift in consumer eating habits, as they demand more plant-based proteins, such as nuts, and seek a balanced diet.
