02 — Geography

Four parts of Crimea, four models

The portfolio is spread across climate zones: a coast with mild winters, steppe with the best grain soils, and the Kerch peninsula, where the North Crimean Canal now delivers water.

West · 28.9 ha

Tarkhankut and Saky: a mild climate by the sea

The maritime climate of the west coast gives 220–240 frost-free days and fewer fungal diseases: the Crimean agriculture ministry calls this zone promising for orchards and vineyards.

03 — Plots

12 plots · 92.4 ha

Every plot is agricultural land zoned for "growing grain and other crops", leased from the Republic of Crimea. Utilities: electricity and an access road.

04 — Climate, soil, water

Sun is everywhere. Water decides the model

The honest picture: there has been no Dnieper water in the North Crimean Canal since 2023. So the crop is chosen to fit the water, not the other way round.

200–240 days

frost-free season

220–240 days on the west coast and the Kerch peninsula, 160–200 in the steppe. Tarkhankut gets 2,300–2,400 hours of sun.

Black earth

southern and calcareous

The base for grain and oilseed. Coastal plots may carry solonetzic soils — we run a soil analysis before anything is planted.

250–450 mm

rainfall a year

Dry steppe. 2025 was exceptionally dry — hence the bet on drought-tolerant crops and drip irrigation.

East

water from the canal

The Kerch peninsula gets water year-round. Plots 1 and 7 — 27 ha — suit an irrigated orchard, vineyard or vegetables.

West and steppe

a well and drip lines

A licensed 80–120 m well plus drip irrigation is what the Crimean agriculture ministry recommends. A holding pond reduces exposure to drought.

Rainfed

no irrigation

Lavender, sage, coriander, chickpeas, lentils, winter wheat, almonds, pasture — crops that live on natural moisture.

05 — Farming options

What these plots can grow

Ten options with different times to a first harvest — from grain in a single season to almonds in five years. Each one says whether it needs water and which plots suit it.

Направление	Water	До урожая	Экономика и поддержка	Plots
Lavender, sage, rose	rainfed	2–3 years	60% of Russia's essential-oil plantings are in Crimea; 86% of lavender fields are over 10 years old, so the market needs new ones	nos. 2–5, 10–12
Vineyard	drip	3–4 years	planting ≈ 2M ₽ per ha, subsidies ≈ 1M ₽ per ha; the grape purchase price has risen to 150 ₽ per kg	nos. 1, 7 (water), nos. 4–5
Intensive orchard: cherry, peach, apple	irrigation 3–4 thousand m³ per ha	3–4 years	1.5–2M ₽ per ha to plant, payback in 5–7 years; subsidies for planting and upkeep	nos. 1, 7 (canal), no. 6
Almonds and nuts	rainfed or drip	5–7 years	a slow but valuable crop: 220 ha of almonds were planted in Crimea in 2025	nos. 5, 6, 8, 9
Grain and oilseed	rainfed	1 season	2026 yield 3.26 t per ha; export through Crimean ports, grain elevators nearby	nos. 6, 7, 8, 9, 11
Chickpeas, lentils, coriander	rainfed	1 season	the drought-tolerant niche; coriander covers ≈ 60,000 ha in Crimea	nos. 6, 8, 9, 10, 11
Vegetables and melons	drip	1 season	quick turnover, resort demand; needs a licensed well	nos. 1, 2–3, 7
Plant nursery	drip	1–2 years	Crimea plants ≈ 1,700 ha of vineyards and 700 ha of orchards every year	nos. 2–3, 9, 11
Sheep, goats, bees	watering	straight away	rainfed pasture, with nectar plants such as lavender and sage as a second income	nos. 8, 9, 10
Agritourism	—	1 season	since 2024 farms may host guests in lodges on agricultural land (Federal Law 160)	nos. 4, 5, 7 (by the sea)

06 — Our picks

Which plot suits which project

This is our reading, not the only one: tell us a different crop or budget and we will match you differently.

No. 7 · Shcholkine, 25 ha — the flagship

Canal water and the sea close by. A vineyard or orchard on 10–15 ha, the rest lavender and agritourism for Kazantip holidaymakers. The largest project here, and the easiest to explain to an investor.

No. 5 · Tarkhankut, 18.5 ha — an essential-oil cluster

Rainfed lavender and sage, bees, a small oil still and a "lavender fields by the sea" visitor route — the direct analogue of Turgenevka.

No. 6 · Kotelnikovo, 12 ha — grain and almonds

A fallow–chickpea–winter wheat rotation that turns over from the first season; part of the area under a drip-irrigated almond orchard.

Nos. 8 and 9 · Pervomayskoye, 14.6 ha — steppe

Rainfed coriander, chickpeas and grain, or a flock of sheep on pasture; together the plots make a farm of workable size.

Nos. 10 and 12 · Chernyshevo, 9.8 ha — by the bay

Lavender and sage, bees, and ecotourism for birdwatchers at the Karkinit reserve and holidaymakers on the Bakal Spit.

Nos. 1–4 and 11 · small plots of 2–4.5 ha

A nursery, drip-irrigated vegetables and melons, lavender; and agritourism at Shtormovoye by the sea.

07 — Market and state support

The state pays for planting

Crimean agriculture receives 3.2 billion ₽ of state support a year, about 30 billion over eleven years. Crimea sits inside a Free Economic Zone with tax relief.

×2

land prices in Crimea over five years; +51% across 2023–2024

1.7M tonnes

of grain harvested in Crimea by August 2026, with a target above 2M tonnes

940M ₽

of federal support for Crimean viticulture in 2026

1,698 ha

of new vineyards planted in Crimea during 2025

Grants for farmers

Agrostartup covers up to 3M ₽ and 90% of costs; Family Farm goes up to 30M ₽. Fifteen Crimean farms received grants in 2025.

Planting subsidies

For a vineyard: 222–250K ₽ for vines, 435–511K for trellises, 54–92K for upkeep per hectare — roughly half the cost of planting. Orchards and machinery have subsidies of their own.

Free Economic Zone

Social contributions at 7.6% for ten years, profit tax from 2%, and three years free of property and land tax on investments from 3M ₽.

Agritourism is legal

Since 2024 farms may host visitors and sell their own produce on agricultural land — a second income stream.

08 — Ways in

Three ways to enter the project

We are open to different formats — from leasing a single plot to developing it jointly, with us investing alongside you.

01 · Lease

A plot for your project

You take the plot and farm it yourself. The rate is 40,000 ₽ per hectare a year: from 80K ₽ for 2 ha to 1M ₽ for 25 ha. The whole 92-hectare portfolio comes to 3.69M ₽ a year.

02 · Joint development

We invest alongside you

ZemFond contributes the land and part of the funding; you provide the main financing for planting, water and machinery. Income and future ownership are split in proportion to what each side put in.

03 · Buy-out

Ownership of the land

At the end of the lease the plots are bought without an auction at their assessed value and pass into ownership — yours or the joint company's.

The terms of each model are agreed case by case. The lease rate is a 2026 guide figure.

09 — Buying out, and what it is worth

Three years of lease, buy at the assessed value, sell at market

That is the strategy. The law on agricultural land turnover (article 10 of Federal Law 101) gives the tenant of a state plot the right to buy it without an auction after three years of bona fide use — at the assessed (cadastral) value. For farmland that value sits well below the market, and the gap between the two is the project's return, not a forecast of rising prices.

3 years

of lease and real farming on the land — the condition that creates the right to buy

Assessed value

the buy-out price: known in advance, with no auction and no rival bidders

90–160K ₽

the market price of a hectare of steppe arable land in Crimea; by the sea — Tarkhankut, Shtormovoye — up to 6M ₽ a hectare

09.2025

Leases signed

With the Crimean property ministry, five-year term, registered by the state.

2025–2028

Three years of development

Planting, water, machinery. Bona fide use across all three years is the condition of the buy-out.

from 2028

Right to buy

Arises three years into the lease. No auction — by application to the Crimean property ministry.

Buy-out

At the assessed value

The price is known in advance: it comes from the register, not from bidding.

Exit

Sale at market price

A plot with plantings and infrastructure is sold at the market price — or kept in ownership and carries on working.

The gap between the assessed and market price depends on the plot and on what the market looks like when you sell. We show the assessed value of each of the 12 plots before the deal — do the maths on your figures, not ours.

10 — Straight talk about risk

What investors ask — and what we answer

The six questions that come first. We answer them before the deal, not after.

«There is no Dnieper water»

Crops are chosen to fit the water: rainfed for lavender, grain and almonds; a well and drip lines for orchards and vegetables; and in the east the canal already delivers.

«A drought like 2025»

Spread across four climate zones and drought-tolerant crops. Holding ponds and drip irrigation cut the risk further.

«A lease, not ownership»

Five-year leases with the Republic of Crimea, registered by the state. The law gives the tenant the right to buy without an auction — this is the route to ownership, not a risk to it.

«Buy-out terms could change»

The buy-out follows the assessed value; we show that value and the timing for each plot before the deal.

«Can we build»

This is agricultural land: the primary use is growing crops. Hosting visitors is allowed within farm agritourism; we do not promise permanent construction.

«Documents»

Twelve leases, title extracts, cadastral numbers and boundaries are open before the deal. Check them on the public cadastral map.
