August the 7th, 2025 – Agrolaguna has begun a 10 million euro investment cycle in the modernisation and expansion of their production over the next three years.
As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, with the entry of Badel 1862 as the new owner, Agrolaguna has begun a new 10 million euro investment cycle after concluding a new Collective Agreement and increasing the salaries of all of its employees. These hefty planned investments will be in the modernisation and expansion of the company’s production over the next three years.
For the upcoming grape and olive harvest, the most modern self-propelled grape picker and olive shaker, as well as a new harvesting platform, have already been purchased. Two new tractors with special attachments solely for vineyard cultivation have also been purchased, the delivery of which is expected in the coming days. The investment in the purchase of this equipment alone amounts to more than 500,000 euros, and it will enable faster harvesting and further increase the quality of Agrolaguna’s final products.
Part of the Agrolaguna 10 million euro investment cycle is also the increase in vineyard plantings by an additional 100 hectares. This primarily refers to local varieties of Teran and Malvasia. Site preparations are only just beginning, exploratory work and soil analysis are being carried out, and irrigation options are being examined. As things currently stand, the actual planting part of the process is planned for spring 2026.
A new olive processing line is also in the works for next year, which will increase daily processing capacity and better align it with the fruit harvest capacity. A project to modernise and automate primary grape processing is also being prepared, which is also planned to be implemented in 2026.
“It’s already clear that Badel 1862’s entry into Agrolaguna means a new positive momentum for the development of our business. In addition to improving employee salaries, new investments are crucial for us to grow and further strengthen our market position.
We’re working intensively across all areas to increase our efficiency and increase production. We also want to make the best use of our cooperation with Badel, especially when it comes to exporting and sales. In addition to our employees, this is fantastic news for our local community and our partners,” said Nerina Zec, President of the Management Board of Agrolaguna.
