Right, so apparently the hot new thing isn’t, like, space travel or solving world hunger. It’s putting Georgian almond orchards on the blockchain. Yes, you read that correctly. 🙄 Farmway Technologies, a company specializing in turning perfectly good agricultural products into… well, tokens, has just signed a $100 million deal with the Republic of Georgia to do precisely that. Honestly, I’m starting to suspect someone just really likes almonds.
A cool $100 million will be splashed around on improving everything from the farms themselves to the way they get the almonds from tree to, presumably, your almond milk latte. We’re talking 500 hectares (that’s 1,236 acres for those of us who prefer sensible measurements) plus facilities to churn out almond milk powder, oil, and extracts. It’s all dreadfully efficient, I suppose.
According to Farmway’s CEO, Upmanyu Misra (a name that sounds suspiciously like a Bond villain), Georgia’s almond output is expected to explode from 2,500 tonnes to a frankly alarming 14,000 tonnes by 2027. They’ll be rubbing shoulders with the big almond players! 🥜 Who knew Georgia was a rising star in the nut world?
Apparently, they had 6,000 hectares of almonds as of last August, with companies like Udabno, Nuts Incorporated, and (yes, really) Nuts Cultivation Company leading the charge. And get this: imports are *down* 49% while exports are up. Good for them! Clearly, someone is making some very good almonds.
This isn’t a total leap into the unknown, mind you. Farmway already did a trial run with a measly $20 million. So, you know, low stakes.
The plan is to tokenize everything – orchards, irrigation, the lot. Each token represents a little sliver of ownership, and the blockchain diligently records every tiny almond-related transaction. Because, naturally, that’s what we need. More transparency in the almond market. 🧐
Mr. Misra complains that traditional climate finance is “slow-moving,” which, fair enough. Apparently, tokenization cuts through all that red tape, turning land into “investable, auditable climate assets”. Which sounds… intimidating. It’s like turning your garden into a financial instrument.
They’re using fancy Ethereum standards (ERC-20 and ERC-1155, for the tech-savvy among us – and I am decidedly *not* one of them) to make all this happen. Clever, I suppose. I just want to know if it makes the almonds taste better.
Founded in 2020, Farmway is now busy tokenizing everything from coffee to lavender. They’re like the blockchain equivalent of a particularly enthusiastic hoarder. Turning “illiquid, traditional asset classes” into “programmable, globally investable units”. Where do I sign up to tokenize my collection of old postcards?
RWA commodity tokenization market
Apparently, this whole almond-blockchain thing is part of a larger trend called “RWA” (Real World Asset) tokenization. It’s currently worth $2.5 billion, which is about 9% of the broader $27.8 billion RWA market. And it’s growing! Like a particularly well-watered almond tree. 🌱
The market is dominated by tokenized gold (predictably) but agricultural products are catching up. There’s a company in Buenos Aires, Justoken, tokenizing soybean oil, cotton, and corn. Those Argentinians know how to party!
The idea, apparently, is to make things more accessible and liquid. Proponents claim it will “impact far-ranging sectors like DeFi”. Whatever that means. All I know is, I’m still waiting for someone to tokenize a decent cup of tea.
