About Raptor Ag

Raptor Ag is a privately held agriculture investment firm that specializes in permanent crop investments and operations. The company identifies opportunities in permanent crops, finances their development, and operates the farms. Raptor Ag partners with investors to acquire high-quality farmland through purchases or long-term leases. Currently, the company is focused on expanding its hazelnut position in Oregon's Willamette Valley, its pecan operation in southern Oklahoma, and growing its hazelnut business in Chile and Italy. Founded in January 2016, Raptor Ag initially pursued hazelnut development projects in Oregon and has since expanded to other permanent crop opportunities. The company has made significant strides in the agriculture industry, including planting 1,000 acres of hazelnuts in the winter of 2017-18, the largest hazelnut planting by a single farm in North American history. In 2021, Raptor Ag acquired 1,300 tillable acres in Love County, Oklahoma, and planted 1,040 acres of high-density pecan orchards, marking another industry milestone. Raptor Ag serves investors looking for stable, long-term returns in the agriculture sector. The company's business model revolves around acquiring, developing, and operating high-quality farmland, generating revenue through crop sales and lease agreements.
