Modernizing Lebanese Apple Orchards 
 
     

Georges N. Frem Foundation has been implementing a fruit orchard modernization program in Lebanon since 1998 focused on replacing old seedling based fruit trees with modern rootstocks and new fruit varieties.

Since 2002, Georges N. Frem Foundation has imported, grafted and distributed over 350,000 rootstock based trees of apple, cherry, pear and plum in an effort to enhance Lebanese fruit production. The program focuses on educating farmers and distributing internationally acclaimed rootstocks that are said to be up to 250% more productive in production of consistent better quality fruit in place of traditional seedling based trees which are considered obsolete in most of the world.

To ensure maximum output and benefit, our team of agricultural engineers assists farmers who purchase our trees with orchard planning and extension services including technical and marketing guidance through field visits, workshops and a multi-faceted information service.
